Abstract
In this paper a computational method for evaluating
moisture induced stresses in timber connections is
proposed. A 3D orthotropic-viscoelastic-mechanosorptive
model for wood is implemented in the Umat subroutine of
the FEM code Abaqus and a moisture-stress analysis is
performed. Some dowel-type connections are
computationally analyzed under sustained mechanical loads
and natural humidity conditions.
