Popis: A method for macro modelling timber-to-timber dowel type joints under shear loads using finite elements is presented. The proposed model, which includes a combination of nonlinear one-dimensional elements, is able to properly represent the hysteretic behaviour, stiffness degradation and failure of this type of joints. Experimental data from mechanical tests was used to define the macro model parameters. The proposed methodology does not require a high computational processing cost and, consequently, can be used for the nonlinear analysis of complex structural systems with a large number of connections.
