An extensive experimental campaign has been performed in the structural laboratory of the University of Basilicata, Potenza, Italy on a full scale beam-column joint based on the post-tensioned timber concept as applied to glue laminated (glulam) timber, with and without the application of external dissipative steel angles [1]. Numerical models were used in the prediction and analysis of system response. With the increasing use of non-linear time history analysis for building verification it is crucial that reliable and non-time consuming modeling techniques exist. In this paper the experimental outcomes of quasi-static testing are presented and then compared with the results of the numerical predictions using both the current design procedure and two different finite element programs.

Abstract
An extensive experimental campaign has been performed in the structural laboratory of the University of Basilicata, Potenza, Italy on a full scale beam-column joint based on the post-tensioned timber concept as applied to glue laminated (glulam) timber, with and without the application of external dissipative steel angles [1]. Numerical models were used in the prediction and analysis of system response. With the increasing use of non-linear time history analysis for building verification it is crucial that reliable and non-time consuming modeling techniques exist. In this paper the experimental outcomes of quasi-static testing are presented and then compared with the results of the numerical predictions using both the current design procedure and two different finite element programs.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
