FABRICATION PROCESS
BEAM TEST
-Beam test with interlocking shear panels positions at splice in bottom and top flanges.
-Failure is located in the shear panel where the bottom splice is located.
-The physical beam test differs with the Karamba analysis due to the screws location and the wood quality. The karamba analysis does not have the connections of the shells and the flanges.
IMPROVEMENT:
-Use flanges with bigger height to improve the screws location so screws are not near the edges of the flanges.
