• Wood is a strongly orthotropic material
- very low strength and stiffness perpendicular to grain
• Relatively common cause of damage for timber structures
• Failure is complicated to predict

Perp-to-grain tensile strength
The perp-to-grain tensile strength is affected by
• Species and density
• Moisture content (strength decreases with MC)
• Temperature (strength decreases with T)
• Duration of load
• Growth ring orientation (radial strength > tangential strength)
• Volume and shape of loaded specimen
• Multi-axial stress state

Conventional stress-strength analysis
Element capacity determined from a stress based failure criterionand assumptions of:
• Linear elastic and ideally brittle material behavior• Deterministic and homogeneous material strength properties
Max stress

Special Members – Beams with holes and notches slide 22
Weibull weakest link theory
Based on the concept of the “weakest link” and assumptions of:• Linear elastic and ideally brittle material behavior• Stochastically homogeneous material strength properties
Global strength is affected by the size of the stressed volumeand by the stress distribution heterogeneity

End-notched beams
General comments/recommendation on strength analysis and design
EC5: Rational approach based on Linear elastic fracture mechanics
• Should be handled with great care in design,
especially considering large members
• Notches larger than 500 mm or 0.5h should not be allowed without reinforcement
• Should preferably (if not reinforced) be tapered
• Surfaces shall be surface-treated to reduce the risk of cracking due to climate induced stresses

General comments/recommendation on strength analysis and design
EC5: No design rules. Semi-empirical method available in German/Austria NA to EC5.
• Should be handled with great care in design, especially for large members
reinforcement in general recommended
• Circular shape rather than rectangular/square
• Hole placement close to the neutral axis
• Surfaces shall be surface-treated to reduce the risk of cracking due to climate induced stresses

Concluding remarks
• Introduction of a notch or a hole generally results in a significant loss of load bearing capacity
• Strong beam size influence on nominal strength
• Perp-to-grain failures are in general complicated to predict
notches/holes in members should be handled with great, especially for large members
Reinforcement is generally recommended
Thank you for your attention.
