The moment resistance of bolted connections in wood is poor due to the low tension perpendicular to grain and longitudinal shear strengths of wood. As a practical solution designers may sometimes consider such connections as pinned to only carry shear and axial forces and ignore their moment carrying capacity. The problem is that the wood does not know that it is not supposed to carry moment and could perform poorly even under the intended loading. Alternatively, very slender bolts/dowels can be used with large spacing and end distances which may not be very economical. Rational design guidance is needed to allow bolted moment connection to be used efficiently and safely. The fundamental problem is that the interacting effect of shear and tension perpendicular stresses is not well understood for wood and modern wood products. Both modes of failure are brittle in nature and as a natural material the strength properties of wood are nonhomogeneous and random. These features lead to the fact that tensile perpendicular to grain and longitudinal shear strengths are both sensitive to stressed volume. The larger the stressed volume, the lower the strength. Comprehensive data is not available on the effect of stressed volume on these interacting stresses. Furthermore, the influence of reverse cyclic loading on these strength properties as in the case of demands from earthquakes have not been fully studied.****The proposed work will study the moment carrying capacity of bolted moment connections under monotonic and reverse cyclic loading as components and in structural frames. The interacting brittle failure mode of tension perpendicular to grain and shear will be studied with consideration of stressed volume effect. This information will lead to design guidance for effective reinforcement techniques. Finally, reliability based design procedures will be developed to qualify their performance to handle demands from both seismic and non-seismic loading. The expected impact of the study is more rational design procedures for consideration of bolted and dowel based moment connections leading to safer and more cost efficient design solutions using generic non-proprietary based connectors. Successful implementation of the results will lead to better and safer wood-based buildings especially for the bigger and taller wood building market.

由于木材垂直于纹理的拉伸和纵向剪切强度较低，木材中的螺栓连接的抗弯矩性能较差。作为一种实用的解决方案，设计人员有时可能会认为这种连接只承受剪力和轴力，而忽略了它们的弯矩承载能力。问题是，木材不知道它不应该承载力矩，即使在预期的载荷下也可能表现得很差。或者，可以使用非常细长的螺栓/销钉，但间距和端部距离较大，这可能不是很经济。需要合理的设计指南，以便有效和安全地使用螺栓力矩连接。根本的问题是，对于木材和现代木制品来说，垂直剪切应力和拉伸垂直应力的相互作用效果还没有得到很好的理解。这两种破坏模式本质上都是脆性的，作为一种天然材料，木材的强度特性是不均匀的和随机的。这些特征导致垂直于颗粒的拉伸强度和纵向剪切强度都对应力体积值敏感。受力体积越大，强度越低。关于应力体积对这些相互作用应力的影响，目前还没有全面的数据。此外，在地震需求的情况下，反向循环荷载对这些强度特性的影响还没有得到充分的研究。*建议的工作将研究单调和反向循环荷载作用下的螺栓弯矩连接的弯矩承载能力。在考虑应力体积效应的情况下，研究垂直于颗粒的拉伸和剪切的相互作用的脆性破坏模式。这些信息将导致有效加固技术的设计指南。最后，将开发基于可靠性的设计程序，以验证它们的性能，以满足地震和非地震载荷的要求。这项研究的预期影响是更合理的设计程序，以考虑基于螺栓和销钉的力矩连接，从而使用通用的非专有连接器实现更安全和更具成本效益的设计解决方案。这些成果的成功实施将带来更好、更安全的木质建筑，特别是对于更大、更高的木质建筑市场。
