Experimental results and theoretical predictions for failure of timber beams with end notches, or cuts on the tension face, are discussed. The validity of Gustafsson's formula and the underlying assumptions are examined in the context of structural design codes. Attention is drawn to the arbitrary dependence of theoretical predictions on the load a...

... This approach yields the same results as the approach for end-notched beams of the Canadian Standard CSA O.86, where the effect of the reduced stiffness at the transition between reduced and full cross-section as proposed by Gustafsson, [2], was neglected, [14]. Eq. (17) is similar to the approaches in the Australian standard AS 1720.1 and in the "Wood Handbook" of the Forest Products Laboratory, [10]. ...
