Abstract

Recent work at the University of Applied Sciences in Wiesbaden / Germany has indicated that wood-steel-connections using adhesive action show a stiff performance, a high ultimate load capacity, a ductile behaviour and at the same time a predicable fatigue performance. This paper shows test results for static as well as dynamic loading conditions. By using adhesive connections in combination with engineered wooden products it is now possible to build a wooden wind tower that provides clean energy.
