Question:
What is the meaning of "Shear failure in glued contact surface" in the details of the RF‑LAMINATE add-on module?

Answer:
In the case of cross-laminated timber plates that are not bonded on the narrow sides and a wall-like structural behavior, the torsion stress in the glued joints is often governing. This design is performed according to the explanations in the literature source given below, using the following equation.

  1. Shear of board layers
  2. Shear in the thickness direction

f-R rolling shear strength
f-v,tor torsional shear strength

For the y-direction, the design is similar, but using the values for the y‑direction.
