Implication

Experimental analysis of mechanical joints and reinforcement effects on flexural performance in modular timber beams, highlighting critical vulnerabilities.

Key Points

CSM reinforcement led to a 49% increase in ultimate load capacity and enhanced ductility characteristics.
Five-segment beams exhibited a significant 49.5% reduction in structural capacity compared to continuous specimens.
The three-segment configuration was identified as optimal for balancing performance and modularity in timber construction.
Mechanical joints were found to be critical failure points due to stress concentrations at timber-bolt interfaces.
