JOINING TIMBER STRUCTURES USING GLUED REINFORCEMENT BARS

This article examines the role of wooden structures in ensuring environmental sustainability in the modern construction industry and addresses the issues of increasing their technical and economic efficiency. The main focus of the research is analyzed on improving the joint connections of wooden elements, specifically, the methods and advantages of joining them using glued reinforcement bars. The study substantiates the role of this innovative connection method in reducing construction time by up to 40-50%, its economic efficiency compared to traditional metal plate connections, and the savings achieved by reducing the foundation load. Furthermore, the article provides a detailed overview of the operational mechanism of the "Steel — Glue — Wood" system under static loads, the adhesive properties of the glue layer, and the distribution of stresses considering the anisotropic nature of wood. The obtained results reveal the scientific and practical foundations for ensuring seismic safety and structural durability in the design of large-span and multi-story wooden buildings.
