Experimental study on the embedment strength of smooth dowels inserted in cross-laminated timber narrow side by Weiguo Long, Jiajia Ou, Xiaofeng Sun, Xinyue Huang, Minjuan He, Zheng Li

“…To investigate the embedment strength of the smooth dowels inserted in CLT narrow side, totally 504 CLT embedment specimens were tested to evaluate the effects of the influencing factors on the embedment strength, which included the loading angle, the embedment angle, the embedment position, the diameter of the dowels, and the gaps between the lumbers. The existing predictive equations of the embedment strength were validated based on the experimental results, and modified empirical equations were proposed for a more accurate prediction on the average embedment strength. …”
