Abstract
The purpose of the strength data collection and analysis
was to find more information, which is needed in the
reliability analysis of timber structures. First, a
sensitivity analysis revealed that the calculated
reliability is sensitive to the lowest strength values,
whereas the values around the mean have no effect.
Therefore, in order to get correct information on the
reliability of structures, we need an adequate sample
size, and the distribution function should fit well to
the lowest values in the relevant population.
Nordic project partners have collected and analysed such
existing strength data of timber materials to which they
have access: bending data of sawn and round timber, LVL,
glulam, finger joints, I-beams and plywood. The tension
strength results of glulam lamellae, and compression data
of round timber have also been analysed in the project.
