Abstract (EN):
The objective of this work is to investigate the quasi-static mechanical behaviour of doweltype
timber joints. Therefore, four dowel arrangements were experimentally tested to assure
the stability of a steel-wood joint. The results revealed different behaviour regarding the
distance between dowels and distance to the free edge of the wood member. An approach
based on cohesive zone modelling was adopted to replicate both the ductile and brittle failure
observed in the experiments.
