Validation of the calculation of a wooden column with a support unit on glued steel plates

Abstract

The article proposes a structural solution for the base of a wooden frame column on flat links glued in the support part of the column – steel plates welded to the base plate. The results of numerical studies of the column, taking into account the parameters of the adhesive connection of the plates with wood and the anisotropy of wood, are presented. The column model takes into account the geometric and physico-mechanical characteristics of wood, steel plate bonds and adhesive compound. The main results of numerical studies are verified with the results of the analytical calculation of the column performed by the method of initial parameters. A physical model with the proposed structural solution of the column base was made and tested. The numerical and analytical calculations of the column were validated, and the main conclusions of the experimental and theoretical study were presented.
