Abstract
The objective of an AIR PROJECT (1994-1997) was to
establish a new scientific basis for the determination of
the long term performance of reconstituted timber (glulam
and LVL) in a variable environment with a duration of
load of a few months. Three current problems of timber
engineering were treated: delayed fracture in bending of
straight or notched beams, delayed fracture of curved
beams by tension perpendicular to grain, with the same
methodology and with a sufficient number of tests to
obtain a good statistical and phenomenological
understanding of the phenomena.
