4.1. Experimental results
Three samples of Type-I a, Type-II a, Type-III a, Type-I b, Type-II b and Type-III b were subjected to tensile loading until failure. By this way, average maximum failure load values and force–displacement
relations were obtained for each type of joint and given in Figs. 5 and 7. Additionally, failure mode arisen at each type of joint was identified and given in Fig. 8.
