out and geometry. B Franke responded that fracture energy was k<strong>no</strong>wn for Mode I and II<br />

but <strong>no</strong>t for combined stresses and fracture energy may be related to stress states in mix<br />

mode and this approach may be okay for practical reason. Furthermore curve of<br />

<strong>no</strong>rmalized fracture energy was used.<br />

A Jorissen commented that there were significant developments of theoretical equations in<br />

the last decade. This study was based on experimental approach this be justified. B Franke<br />

responded that situation was configuration dependent and if analytical based approach was<br />

available, one could consider them.<br />

A Jorissen asked whether the ductile and brittle failures in experimental separated. B<br />

Franke replied that <strong>no</strong> and they always used the combinations of both failure modes.<br />

M Ballerini received clarifications about how the crack surfaces for mode I and II and how<br />

to calculate some of the parameters.<br />

I Smith asked how the current approach compared with past results. B Franke stated that<br />

they try to consider the more complex cases to arrive at rational solutions.<br />

S Winter commented that design approach based on fracture mechanics with unit-less<br />

factors would be difficult to justify in codes. B Franke responded that the factors in this<br />

study did <strong>no</strong>t have such problems.<br />

G Hochreiner asked about overlaying of shear stresses and B Franke responded that <strong>CIB</strong><br />

<strong>W18</strong> last year addressed the issue.<br />

6 LAMINATED MEMBERS<br />

<strong>44</strong> - 12 - 1 Properties of CLT-Panels Exposed to Compression Perpendicular to their<br />

Plane - T Bogensperger, M Augustin, G Schickhofer<br />

Presented by T Bogensperger<br />

H Blass asked why reinforcement techniques were <strong>no</strong>t considered. T Bogensperger<br />

responded that they were well aware of reinforcement techniques but wanted to consider<br />

basic properties first.<br />

H Blass asked what the failure criteria were for FEM. T Bogensperger responded that<br />

failure criteria were based on deformation.<br />

S Franke and T Bogensperger discussed the fact in some configuration one edge could <strong>no</strong>t<br />

have bending of the fibres and the elasto-plastic behaviour. T Bogensperger stated that the<br />

next step would have to consider shear behaviour.<br />

<strong>44</strong> - 12 - 2 Strength of Spruce Glulam Subjected to Longitudinal Compression – M<br />

Frese, M Enders-Comberg, H J Blaß, P Glos<br />

Presented by M Frese<br />

J Köhler and M Frese discussed the procedures used to consider the lengthwise correlation<br />

of material properties.<br />

R Harris asked how one would k<strong>no</strong>w the specimens were of sufficient poor quality to be<br />

representative. M Frese responded that the comparisons of density should the material are<br />

representative and further comparisons between simulations and experiments showed good<br />

agreement. R Harris questioned the high influence of moisture content on compression<br />

strength parallel to grain and questioned again whether the tested material was at too high a<br />

quality. M Frese stated it might be good to perform tests on glulam with wider range of<br />

density and H Blass confirmed that the glulam material was <strong>no</strong>t of particular good quality.<br />

F Lam commented that compared to clear wood values the influence of moisture content<br />
