This video shows the compression failure of a Class GL28 glulam timber block loaded perpendicular to the grain.
Learning Outcomes.
Viewers will gain an improved understanding of:
- The strength properties of timber
- The influence of grain orientation on sample strength
The specimen is placed between steel plattens which are then pushed together subjecting the block to a compression force. Failure occurs due to buckling of the sample with significant lateral displacement of the timber occurring as the t
