Application of Laboratory Tests Results of Dowel Joints in Cement-Splinter Boards VELOX into the Fully Probabilistic Methods (SBRA Method)

Abstract

The aim of this paper is determination of selected strength characteristics of dowel joints in cement-splinter boards VELOX on the basis of destructive testing and application of these results into the fully probabilistic SBRA method (Simulation Based Reliability Assessment).

Carrying Capacity of Semi-Rigid Joint of Timber-Concrete Beams

“…Also concrete samples and nails were tested separately. Used calculation follows the procedure described in [7], [8] and [9] with use with use of the effective stiffness on the cross section. These additional tests and calculations are described in detail in [10].…”

Mechanics of Screw Joints Solved as Beams Placed in a Tangential Elastic Foundation

“…Thanks to the shortening of computational times, in addition to a simpler, more affordable and faster solution, it is also possible to apply the probabilistic approach very effectively in the design of the screw joint. Probabilistic approaches and probabilistic reliability assessments (based, e.g., on the Monte Carlo method and respecting the real variability of input and output variables) are in line with modern trends in science and technology (see [6,29,[31][32][33]). 8.…”

“…), dowel joints, threadforming/self-tapping/self-drilling screws, foundation screws, ground screws, shrink rings, etc. (see Figure 1a-c and references [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]).…”

“…Unlike common, simplified orientation design procedures (see [1][2][3]5,6,11] and others) and calculations using the finite element method (FEM) (see [7,10,12,16,29,30] and others), a new approach to solving the problems of screw joints is proposed, applied and experimentally verified in this article. This new approach is based on the application of the proposed tangential elastic foundation as a sufficiently accurate and effective solution to the interaction between the screw and the material to be joined.…”

“…Depending on the technical need and severity of the problem, it is possible to choose the proposed shape of the linear/non-linear model, including its analytical solution. Thus, in some cases, the use of new tangential foundation models eliminates the need for sophisticated/time-consuming FEM modeling, and it also offers various simplifications and acceleration of the calculation, or a rapid probability stochastic approach to the solution, for example, using the Monte Carlo method, SBRA method and others (see, e.g., [6,12,29,[31][32][33]).…”
