Experimental Investigation of Axial Pull-out Behavior of Glued-in Threaded Rods in Cross-Laminated Timber by Zhibin Ling, Zheng Li, Zhoujun Li, Chao Yang, Wei Zheng, Lingfeng Zhang

“…The experimental variables included embedment length, threaded rod diameter, and rod-to-grain angle (parallel and perpendicular). The results revealed that CLT connections with GiR parallel to the grain exhibited an ascending load-slip response until peak load, followed by a sudden failure, while those with GiR perpendicular to the grain showed a linear increase to peak load with a subsequent gradual load reduction. …”
