“…Standardized testing methods and requirements for glued-in rods are defined in the European standard EN 17334:2021 [5]. Some experimental studies on the gluing procedures of glued-in rod joints have shown important outcomes concerning the mechanical effects of elevated moisture contents [6] and temperatures [7]. 1 Viktor Norbäck, RISE Research Institutes of Sweden, Sweden, viktor.norback@ri.se 2 Pierre Landel, RISE Research Institutes of Sweden, pierre.landel@ri.se 3 Erik Dölerud, Modvion AB, Sweden, erik@modvion.com 4 Anders Wickström, RISE Research Institutes of Sweden, Sweden, anders.wickstrom@ri.se Connections with glued-in plates provide a strong and stiff joint compared to more traditional mechanical connections for timber structures, e.g., screws and dowels.…”
