Abstract
A CGF Panel (Concrete Glulam Framed Panel) is a concrete panel with a glued laminated timber frame. The experimentation on this new construction system at LabSCo (Laboratory of Strength of Materials) of IUAV University of Venice, inspired a wide research on buildings made of this construction system investigating in different aspect of building behaviour: particularly about mechanical property of the materials, mechanical of the system and building physics. This paper presents the results of quasi-static in-plane tests on single panel and configurations of some different panels. The tests in the laboratory are used for measuring the in-plane strength and stiffness of individual panels and wall sections consist of some panels in order to verify and measure the behavior of the connections between the various parts of the single panel and the connection between the panels. Thanks to the results obtained it was possible carry out the FE model to calibrate the characteristics in relation to experimental data. Finally, in order to compare this constructive system with the well known X-lam systems, on the basis of the calibration of the models we were able to set up a comparable FE model with those of the X-lam wall described in the publication: Quasi-Static and Pseudo-Dynamic Tests on XLAM Walls and Buildings inherent in the SOFIE project coordinated by the CNR-IVALSA (Italian National Research Council - Trees and Timber Institute). © (2014) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
