As I said I want to find forces under soil pressure and to compare them with resistance forces/deflection… However, under some loads (depending on timber thickness) failure will occur for sure..
Thanks for reply. Do you think that I should make the cohesive behaviour between surfaces where...
Yes I need. Failure is more likely to occur at the contact between lumbers in NLT or NLT/plywood than in the wood… homogeneous model is not representative
I need to predict structural performance (deflection, shear forces, bending moments) and compare that with analytical model, thats why i said “validation”… however, real test will probably also be done in future to have real validation
I am MSc student and dealing with timber basement walls design. In this case i want to analyze NLT wall with plywoods on both sides connected with nails under lateral soil pressure. I have material properties of NLT and plywood. NLT panel is made of horizontally placed lumbers connected with...
Hello everyone,
I am currently working on modeling in Abaqus Nail Laminated Timber (NLT) basement wall with plywood on both sides (exterior and interior), similar to a sandwich structure. I would appreciate some advice on how to proceed with the modeling process.
My main concern is regarding...
