摘 要:Poplar Laminated Veneer Lumber(Poplar LVL)is a new type of engineering materials with high strength,good reliability and small *** LVL is manufactured from the fast-growing poplar,which is widely used in packaging,furniture and others,however,is rarely adopted in *** order to explore the feasibility of poplar LVL trusses in construction of roof,four 4.5-m-span Fink-and-Howe trusses were designed and assembled,which were made of poplar LVL with bolted-and tooth-plated *** static loading on the upper chord joints of a truss was imposed by self-balancing test *** mechanical properties of trusses were *** ultimate load,deformation character and failure mode of each truss were measured,observed and ***,four types of analytical models with different joint connection assumptions were used to estimate the ultimate load and *** results showed that the poplar LVL trusses were basically in elastic stage before the design load was reached,showing good working performance under the action of design *** bearing capacity of the trusses of bolted connections was greater than that of the tooth-plated *** for the same joint connection type,the bearing capacity of Fink trusses exceeded that of Howe *** poplar LVL light trusses of both types of connections showed good structural performance,which could be reasonably used for building roof systems.
