Brief Overview of the Thermal and Mechanical Properties of Wood, Steel, and Gypsum Board for Structural Connections
Journal Title: GeoStruct Innovations - Year 2024, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
This study outlines the essential thermal and mechanical properties of wood, steel, and gypsum board, focusing on their application in timber-steel and timber-timber connections, as well as in protected and unprotected connections involving one or more materials. These materials are widely used in structural components, serving various functions, from load-bearing to protective roles. A comprehensive summary of these materials was provided, emphasising the critical importance of understanding their properties for use in numerical simulations and other analytical methods commonly employed in structural design research. The properties of these materials significantly influence the behaviour of connections under various conditions, particularly in fire scenarios or other high-temperature environments. As such, knowledge of these properties is crucial for ensuring the accuracy of design calculations and simulations. Furthermore, selecting appropriate material properties from verified standards and documents contributes to the reliability of numerical analyses. This study aims to consolidate and present these verified properties to facilitate their application in both experimental and computational studies of structural connections.
