The aim of this work was to characterize the interlaminar fracture toughness of poplar
laminate veneer lumbers (LVL) under mode II loading. To this end, the Four-point End …

This research paper studies the influence that the number of plies has on the identification of
the mechanical properties of poplar Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) from tensile tests such …

The energy release rate during the crack propagation in concrete was studied using three-
point bending (TPB) beams with different geometries. Expressions for determining the …

The R-curve and fiber bridging phenomenon in mode-I fracture of glass-fiber reinforced
laminates at different temperatures are investigated in this study, aiming to reveal their …

As toughness becomes an important mechanical property of construction materials, scientific
toughness assessment is vital to the development of new materials and helpful for material …

Laminated veneer lumber panels (LVL) are engineered wood products suitable for
application in construction contexts. However, LVL panels have some deficient elastic …

Due to crack closure, determination of the interlaminar mode II fracture toughness of
composite materials is more challenging than that of mode I. Three data reduction methods …

Characterization of the failure behaviour of materials is an important factor to consider in the
design of structures to better understand various failure scenarios during application …

Le lamibois (LVL) et le contreplaqué sont des produits composites structurels fabriqués à
partir de fines feuilles de bois déroulées, appelées placages et assemblées avec un …

Les structures bases bois présentent une forte potentialité pour les transports tant en termes
de légèreté que de bilan carbone. Ces matériaux si ils sont tombés en désuétude dans ce …
