Probabilistic modelling of the tensile related material properties ofn timber boards and finger joint connections

摘要

In the present paper a probabilistic approach for modelling the tensile strength and tensile stiffness properties of timber boards and finger joint connections is presented. The approach includes the geometrical setup of timber boards (the position of knot clusters) and a hierarchical representation of two strength and stiffness related indicators. One indicator to describe the mean material properties of timber boards and one indicator to describe the lengthwise variability due to knots. Based
