Abstract This study evaluates the seismic performance of beam-column connections in mass timber structures using glued-in rod connections. The experimental variables consisted of rebar embedded lengths of 300 mm and 600 mm, along with balloon-type and platform-type column connections. The seismic performance evaluation showed that the specimen with a 300 mm rebar embedded length experienced fracture in the GLT beam at a 5 percent story drift ratio due to the loss of bond strength in the glued-in rod connection. Regardless of the column connection type, specimens with a 600 mm embedded length exhibited similar seismic performance and showed greater stiffness, strength, and ductility than specimens with a 300 mm embedded length. In addition, increasing the embedded length of the rebars resulted in beam-to-column connections classified as rigid connections. These findings indicate that the design standard formula used to calculate the embedded length of rebars should be re-evaluated.
