There was carried out an experiment testing of butt joint using wood, steel washers and a polymer adhesive composition. A sample has been developed, the operation of which during testing is similar to the operation of glued-in washers in a real unit. The selected design of the experimental sample allows in laboratory conditions to simulate the punching of wood by the edge of the glued-in washer. The theory of joint work of wood with a glue seam with chipping forces is confirmed.It is concluded that the adhesive composition increases the overall bearing capacity of the assembly and also reduces its overall compliance.
