The purpose of this paper is to formulate an approximate numerical model for adhesive scarf joints in wooden beams under the assumption that the joint is deformable. This approximate model is founded on observations resulting from the general solution of the plane linear theory of elasticity. It is assumed that wood is orthotropic. The joint can be subjected to a complex load combination including an axial force, a shear force and a bending moment. Within this framework, analytical relations for stresses in the adhesive, as well as stresses and displacements of the adherends, were derived in a form useful for engineering practice. A numerical example proves the high accuracy of the approximate model when compared to the general model based on the plane linear theory of elasticity.
