Abstract
The most common connection in historic green oak framing
vernacular architecture is the all-timber pegged mortice and
tenon joint. This paper outlines a series of tests completed to
investigate the pull-out, bending and shear behaviour of the
mortice and tenon joint. Initially strength and stiffness
characteristics of different peg types subject to pull-out (joint
tension) loading and the effect of fit tolerance on pull-out
performance of mortice and tenon joints are reported.
Thereafter joint moment resistance and shear capacity tests
are reported and links between the pull-out performance and
rotational stiffness discussed. Finally, a series of braced subframe
tests are reported, to which upper-bound plasticity
theory is successfully applied to predict collapse load.
