Introduction:

The laboratory of Engineered Timber Joints (ETJ: but that is called Timber Jointing Laboratory;offically) was established in october in 1988 when the Forestry and Forest Products Research Institute (FFPRI) was largely re-organized. The origin of ETJ was the Laboratory of Industrial Application of Wood Products where the timber joints had been studied before then. The research range of ETJ is everything which is wedding timber mechanically and also relates joints and connections in timber construction. We are mainly researching on joints of timber structure made by axial members and its structural performance. Booklet of ETJ
