ABSTRACT
Connections for timber structures using concealed bonded-in rods offer one possible solution to the development of more efficient joining methods. However the importance of certain basic joint characteristics, and the influence of adhesive type and properties, are not yet fully understood and as such design criteria are lacking. This paper describes a comprehensive experimental and numerical investigation into the fundamental material and joint geometry characteristics of rods bonded in to timber. The adhesive type and performance are both considered, along with test configuration and joint parameters that included rod and timber species. It was found that epoxy adhesives out-performed all other types investigated, and pull-out strengths can be significantly improved through careful selection and optimization of the joint geometry. Balau sample exhibited higher pull-out strength with a means of 10.43 MPa (τta) and 15.65 MPa (τra). This indicates that the shear
strength values of the tested specimens were affected by the density of wood species although the results indicate a declining value of average shear strength due to the adhesive type. There is a strong correlation between the density of the wood and mean shear strength. Failure mode in softwood and hardwood is mostly related to the anatomical properties of the wood which influences the wettability of adhesive that has been use.

ABSTRAK
Teknik rod terikat untuk menyambungkan struktur kayu yang tersembunyi menawarkan satu jalan penyelesaian adalah kaedah penyambungan yang lebih cekap. Walau bagaimanapun, kepentingan ciri-ciri bersama asas tertentu, pengaruh seperti jenis dan sifat pelekat, masih belum difahami sepenuhnya dan kriteria reka bentuk sedemikian masih pada jumlah yang kecil. Dengan ini ia memberikan penyiasatan eksperimen yang berangka komprehensif ke dalam bahan asas dan ciri geometri bersama rod yang terikat pada kayu. Jenis ikatan dan prestasi kedua-duanya dipertimbangkan, dengan ujian konfigurasi dan parameter berserta dengan jenis rod dan kayu. Melaui ini didapati bahawa pelekat epoksi dan dikaji ke atas semua jenis dan kekuatan tarik keluar dapat dipertingkatkan dengan ketara melalui pemilihan dan pengoptimalan geometri. Sampel Balau mempamerkan kekuatan Tarik yang tinggi dengan nilai 10.43 MPa (τta) dan 15.65 MPa (τra). Ini
menunjukkan bahawa nilai kekuatan spesimen yang diuji telah dipengaruhi oleh ketumpatan spesies kayu walaupun hasilnya menunjukkan penurunan nilai kekuatan purata geseran disebabkan oleh jenis pelekat. Terdapat persamaan yang kuat antara ketumpatan kayu dan kekuatan geseran. Tahap kegagalan dalam kayu lembut dan kayu keras kebanyakannya berkaitan dengan sifat-sifat anatomi kayu yang mempengaruhi kebolehbenturan pelekat yang telah digunakan.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of Study
Structural timber has undergone a technological revival in terms of its
application and processing in recent years. This has been largely a result of
rising industry costs and ever increasing environmental awareness,
encouraging more efficient utilization of home grown timber resources.
These have produced efficient structural composite lumber (SCL) materials
such as laminated veneer lumber (LVL), laminated strand lumber (LSL) and
parallel strand lumber (PSL) other forms of composite timber such as glulam
are also experiencing a revived interest (Broughton and Hutchinson, 2001b).
Prefabricated connection systems offer several potential advantages over
traditional connection methods, in terms of both the appearance and the
strength of the connection. Furthermore, factory-made jointing arrangements
of a hidden nature have the potential to give close control over quality of
manufacture. It is clear that, as the structural capabilities of modern timber
products become more widely realized high-performance connection
systems must be available to facilitate the exploitation of these materials.

The use of traditional connections such as bolts and nails in conjunction with
steel plates in an exposed fashion can result in very unsightly, bulky and
inefficient connections in larger structures. The appearance can destroy the
elegance of the chosen structural form. Concealment, on the other hand, not
only offers aesthetic benefits, but also brings other advantages, including
resistance against environmental degradation and fire. Concealed
connection method, also generally provide a wider scope for employment of
prefabrication, thus providing the opportunity for closer control over
manufacture and resultant quality (Bainbridge and Mettem, 1998).
As identified through a recent review of innovative and improved connection
methods, the use of bonded-in rods is an important feature of many of the
timber engineering techniques for connections using adhesives (Bainbridge
et al., 2002). Adhesive bonding technology has been studied for many years
and it has played an essential role in the development and growth of the
rehabilitation and repairing techniques of timber structures involving
adhesive joints instead of mechanical joints. The widespread use of adhesive
bonding can be attributed to its inherent advantages, such as, the fact that
an adhesive joint can distribute the applied load over the entire bonded area
and with a more uniform distribution of stress, it requires little or no damage
to the adherents, adds very little weight to the structure, has a superior
fatigue resistance to other joining methods, is suitable for joining dissimilar
materials, and can reduce manufacturing costs (Custodio et al., 2009).

Such as specific adhesion practical applications on site generally utilize
epoxy, polyurethane adhesives and additionally some polyester products for
structural bonding applications on timber. Of these varieties, epoxy
adhesives have been used for more than forty years and they are currently
still the most widely used choice for bonding structural timber on site. Epoxy
types intended to be used for site bonding of timber components implies that
in practice they have to be able to cure at moderately low temperatures.
These are required for practical reasons to include good gap-filling shrink
resistant properties, excellent tensile/shear strength, high dry and wet
strength, and good resistance against moisture and certain chemicals.
Another class of adhesive products commonly used for interventions on site
is two-component polyurethanes. In contrast, monocomponent
polyurethanes, although largely used in manufacturing plants to construct
glulam components, are not, in general, preferred for applications on site
owing to their tendency to develop gas bubbles within the thick glue line, thus
compromising the cohesive strength of the bonded components.
Phenol–resorcinol based (PRF) adhesives were occasionally used to repair
timber on site, for instance to bond glued-in rods or to glue side plates for
beam reinforcement. Although these applications have not been widely used
they are mentioned in order to present a complete picture (Pizzo and
Smedley, 2015).

The nature of wood surfaces is difficult to control nearby as opposed to what
might be experienced in an assembling plant, specifically where there is
successful control of the surfaces to be fortified. Frequently the surfaces are
newly machined by sanding or planing in a perfect domain with the right
temperature and dampness, which empowers the dampness substance of
the wood surfaces to be controlled and encourages a decent holding surface.
This is as opposed to the conditions nearby where the majority of the above
elements might be variable as well as not effortlessly controllable.
1.2 Problem Statement and Justification
A variety of adhesives have been tested to glue in rods. In early years,
traditional wood adhesives based on phenol-resorcinol (PRF) or epoxies
(EPX) were used, while later work has included also the use of
polyurethanes (PUR). In experiments conducted within a large European
research project in the late 1990s, (GIROD), three types of adhesives were
used suggested namely, PRF, EPX and PUR.
Characterizing an adhesive only by terms like EPX or PUR is nonsufficient.
There are many adhesives available of each type and them ‘‘can show all
types of constitutive behavior’’ (Steiger et. al, 2007). The pull-out strength of
the Glued-in rod is obviously related to the adhesive type, but also to the
used wood species, since different adherents may develop different bonding
strength with different adhesives.

Generally speaking, and to a varying degree depending on the specific
adhesive used, bond strength can be affected by shrinkage during initial
hardening, by the adhesive’s sensitivity to elevated temperatures, by its
limited gap-filling qualities and by the sensitivity to moisture content changes
due to changes in local climatic conditions.
These effects have to be taken into account in design. According to MS544
part 5 in timber joint there are no data on glued-in rod connection for
Malaysia timber. Because of that, this research has been conduct to study
the use of different adhesive in glue-in rod to Malaysia timber at local climatic
temperature.
1.3 Objectives
The objective of this research is to investigate the relationship between the
adhesive and local climatic conditions toward Malaysia timber. In order to
achieve the objective, the following specific objective required to be fulfilled.
1. To determine the shear strength of glued-in rod connection using
Malaysian timber.
2. To evaluate the failure modes of bonded-in connections a function
of various type of structural adhesives.
