Hiroyasu SAKATA, Yoshihiro Yamazaki, Hirotaka UDAGAWA, Yoshimitsu OHASHI

Abstract

In this paper, moment resisting behavior of mortise-tenon joint with dowel is examined. At first, bending tests for mortise-tenon joint are conducted. A hundred and eight specimens are tested, and their parameters are dimension of tenon, post, beam and dowel and tree species of members. In addition, evaluation rule for moment resisting performance of mortise-tenon joint is proposed. It is based on the result of local compression test of wooden materials. Moment - rotation relationship of connection can be calculated by solving simplified equation of equilibrium.
