The Problem of Compressive Strength in Direction Perpendicular to the Grains on Example of Tests of the Load-Bearing Capacity of the Continuously Supported Timber-Frame Sill Plates

This paper presents a discussion of the problem of compressive strength in a direction perpendicular to the grains based on test results of the joints made by timber posts and sill plate. These tests accompanied a larger series of full-scale tests of timber frame walls. The test elements were made o...
