Abstract
To facilitate the application of high-performance wood scrimber in the construction engineering field, this experiment designed tests for the mechanical properties of eucalyptus wood scrimber under tension, compression, bending, and shear. It also analyzed the failure mode, load-displacement curve, and stress-strain curve. The results indicated that the stress-strain model of scrimber under compression, tension, and shear was established based on the Ramberg-Osgood relationship. The modulus and poisson ratio were analyzed, and it was found that the eucalyptus scrimber could be approximately regarded as an orthotropic material. Its ductility coefficient is 2.2, making it suitable for use as a seismic design material for timber structures. When compared with the basic mechanical properties of other engineering wood and bamboo materials, the eucalyptus scrimber can be used as a substitute for them due to its high strength.
期刊介绍:
Construction and Building Materials offers an international platform for sharing innovative and original research and development in the realm of construction and building materials, along with their practical applications in new projects and repair practices. The journal publishes a diverse array of pioneering research and application papers, detailing laboratory investigations and, to a limited extent, numerical analyses or reports on full-scale projects. Multi-part papers are discouraged.
Additionally, Construction and Building Materials features comprehensive case studies and insightful review articles that contribute to new insights in the field. Our focus is on papers related to construction materials, excluding those on structural engineering, geotechnics, and unbound highway layers. Covered materials and technologies encompass cement, concrete reinforcement, bricks and mortars, additives, corrosion technology, ceramics, timber, steel, polymers, glass fibers, recycled materials, bamboo, rammed earth, non-conventional building materials, bituminous materials, and applications in railway materials.
