Abstract This article presents experimental results of steel-timber-steel (STS) joints loaded parallel to grain. Eight groups of
specimens were designed, and tensile tests were performed. The fastener types and fastener numbers were considered to evaluate the tensile strengths and ductility performances of the STS joints. The screws with 6 mm diameter and the innovative steel-tubes with 18 mm diameter were adopted as connecting fasteners. The
experimental results were discussed in terms of yielding and ultimate strengths, slip stiffness, and ductility factors.
The ductility classification and failure mechanisms of each group of specimens were analyzed. It was demonstrated that the STS joint… More >
