Two groups of small-size single edge notched beams (SENB) made of European spruce (Picea abies) were tested in three-point bending (3PB) until failure under displacement control. The first group comprised of eight solid and two glued laminated (GL) timber beams manufactured with (a) the single edge notch at the bottom of the mid-span and (b) the reduced ligament depth. The second group consisted of four GL timber beams with the single edge notch only. We employed digital image correlation (DIC) to quantify strains and displacements, capture the damage evolution, and track the sequence of failure patterns. In this work, we present response of the beams in terms of load vs. crosshead displacement of the moving crosshead and load vs. crack tip opening displacement (CTOD).Downloads
