AB  - Engineered wood products along with advanced processing and fabrication are pushing the limits of modern wood construction. Innovative concepts and applications facilitate the development of a new generation of structural systems. However, capacities of such systems are often governed by capabilities of the connections. This paper presents the experimental results with numerical and analytical models of angle brackets for prediction of load bearing capacity, stiffness, and ductility.
Three types of metal brackets in beam-column connections have been investigated and their performance has been studied in various loading arrangements. Detailed finite-element models of each connection have been developed to gain insights into their behavior. An analytical approach is also adopted to represent the connections. Comparison with test data suggests that
the models can reproduce results with good accuracy. The findings confirm feasibility of implementing ductile connections in practical mass timber structures.

AB  - The Kevlar fabric composites have a wide range of applications in the
body armor and lightweight vehicle-armor structures. Nanoparticles are one of the
most common nanofillers for these structures. In this research, the testing specimens have been made from the Kevlar fabrics impregnated with the poly (vinyl
butyral)/ethanol solution which had been reinforced with the ZnO nanoparticles.
The two-layered composite samples have been fabricated by means of hot compression. The immersion of the square Kevlar/PVB specimens for the water uptake
measurements has been performed according to the ISO 62 standard. The specimens have been immersed in a water bath filled with the distilled water (40 °C) in
the period of 8 weeks. The Kevlar/PVB specimens have been tested in accordance
with the ASTM D 3039 standard for the tensile properties and the ASTM D 790–
03 standard for the flexural properties. The tensile and bending characteristics of
the dry specimens have been compared with the ones that had undergone the water
immersion.
