ResumoThis paper describes the experimental analysis of joints made with threaded steel rods epoxy-glued into high-density hardwood. Seventy specimens of 10 different types were tested until failure with a pull-pull device. The objective of the study was to evaluate the influence of the geometric and mechanical parameters of the joint on axial strength. Experimental results question the application of the existing joint design formulas to the case of high-density hardwood. Hence, experimental study on glued joints should be extended to include a greater variety of timbers of different densities.
