Design guidance for carpentry-type timber joints

虽然在中高层建筑中使用木材的好处是毋庸置疑的，但在相应的缺乏适当的设计指导方面也存在明显的缺点。克服这些**被认为的缺点，将使木材及其木制品衍生品进一步扩展到**非住宅建筑领域。**大量木材和木材混合建筑在现代建筑中越来越受欢迎，**工程最佳实践正在努力跟上。虽然有许多新的工程连接器正在向市场投放市场，但一些传统的木工接头仍然是具有成本效益的解决方案。比较常见的**连接方式之一是将次要木梁连接到主要木梁或台账上，然后将次要木梁“安置”到主要**构件中，以创建一个承重座，以便通过方形插口或圆形燕尾直接传递荷载。**此类节点在建筑中已有数百年的历史，但缺乏可靠的现代设计基础**与当前设计标准和建筑规范所期望的安全可靠性水平一致。**要解决的公司特有的问题是为此类方形或**圆形外壳节点提供设计指南。在材料性能和构件尺寸之间建立直接联系，以及**在强度和刚度方面的连接性能。在项目结束时，该公司将**更好地了解如何高效、安全地设计这些类型的传统木工类型的接头。

Although the benefits of using timber in mid- and high-rise construction are undisputed, there are perceived**shortcomings with respect to the corresponding lack of appropriate design guidance. Overcoming these**perceived shortcomings will allow timber, and its wood product derivatives, to further expand into the**non-residential construction sector.**Mass timber and timber hybrid construction is gaining popularity in modern building construction and**engineering best practices are trying to keep up. While there are many new engineered connectors making their**way to market, some traditional carpentry joints are still cost-effective solutions. One of the more common**connections is a secondary timber beam to a primary timber beam or ledger that is "housed" into the primary**member to create a bearing seat for direct load transfer either through a square mortise or a rounded dovetail.**Such joints have many centuries of performance in buildings, but lack a reliable, modern design basis**congruent with the level of safety and reliability expected of current design standards and building codes.**The company-specific problem that will be addressed is the provision of design guidance for such square or**rounded housing joints, establishing a direct link between the material properties and member dimensions and**the connection performance in terms of strength and stiffness. At the project conclusion, the company will have**a better understanding of how to efficiently and safely design these types of traditional carpentry-type joints.
