Abstract
When used in the appropriate context, timber structures might have lower embodied carbon than their concrete and steel counterparts, making timber a popular material for sustainable construction practices. To continue constructing with timber we require more in-depth exploration into timber joinery which dictates the structural stability and performance of timber framed construction. In this study, the influence of cyclic humidity fluctuations and wetting and drying is tested on mortise and tenon joinery with different detailing (no additional fastening, with glue and with a dowel) for a comparative appraisal of their impact on the joint rotational stiffness. The outcomes show that exposed samples go through a reduction in rotational stiffness independently of the detailing. Peer-review under the responsibility of the organizing committee of the ICMB23.
