Question

are f wooden members are joined by plywood splice plates th y glued on the contact surfaces. Knowing that the cle rmi at ear. t the ne 6 mm and tha the length aring stress in the glued joint is 2.5 MPa, dete shown. atnce between the ends of the members is ultimate sh L for which the factor of safety is 2.75 for the loading 16 kN 6 mm -125 mm 6 kN Fig. P1.43

Answer 1

There are 4 separate areas of glue, Area of each, -125 d Each glue area transmits one half of the total load Le. F =-x16 = 8kN Ultimate load 2.75 x 8 22 kN But - 2.5 x 125 d 312.5 d N Equating both;22 x 103 -312.5 d;
