Experimental research of metal embedded joints under pure bending and combined shear and bending
In order to study the failure mechanism of metal embedded joints in glass structures under pure bending and bending-shear composite loads,four groups of 12 full-scale specimens were designed and manufactured,and the monotone loading tests were carried out to consider the effects of different shear-pan ratios on the mechanical properties of the joint.Based on the calculation method of the bearing capacity of metal embedded laminated connection using a single embedded component,the calculation methods of flexural and shear bearing capacity suitable for metal embedded joints of glass structures were deduced and established.Through comparison with experimental results,the accuracy of the load-bearing calculation method was verified.The effect of various parameters on the mechanical performance of the joints was conducted,and the results indicate that an increase in glass thickness enhances the bending and shear load-bearing capacity of the joints,while an increase in the depth and width of embedded components mainly enhances the bending capacity of the joints.Therefore,when designing metal embedded joints,it is necessary to determine the dimensional parameters of the joints based on the actual force conditions.
