  3. 2. Experimental and computational analysis of the thermal degradation and the loss of strength of engineered wood-based panels

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Wickramasooriyage Devmini Kularatne; [2022]
    Keywords : Oriented strand board; thermal decomposition; mechanical degradation; heat transfer modelling; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The current trends in the construction industry push toward materials that are more sustainable and environmentally friendlier than more traditional building materials such as concrete and steel. Timber and timber composites are one of the most popular materials on this list, due to both their mechanical strength and pleasant aesthetics. READ MORE

  4. 3. Utilisation of hardwood in cross-laminated timber - A numerical study on vibrations in floors

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Byggnadsmekanik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaper

    Author : Johannes Jonasson; Olle Karlsson; [2022]
    Keywords : hardwood; birch; beech; clt; cross-laminated timber; vibrations; floors; footfall; accelerations; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is an engineered wood product consisting of several layers of laminations bonded together with adhesives. In contrast to heavier construction materials, timber and other lightweight building materials are more prone to serviceability issues due to vibrations. READ MORE

  5. 4. Evaluation of a testing method for shear stiffness properties for cross laminated timber

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Byggnadsmekanik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaper

    Author : Calle Lind; [2022]
    Keywords : CLT; cross laminated timber; EN 16351; four-point bending; rolling shear modulus; FE-modelling; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Cross laminated timber (CLT) is an engineered wood product that was first developed in the 1990s. Since then it has grown in popularity thanks to its many advantages such as: low environment impact, high degree of prefabrication and low weight. As the material is relatively new the standardization process is still in the early stages. READ MORE

  6. 5. Complex Stress States In Structural Birch Plywood : An experimental study on the behaviour of birch plywood in structural applications

    University essay from KTH/Byggnadsmaterial

    Author : Patrik Hedlund; Pontus Persson; [2021]
    Keywords : large-span-structures; trusses; truss nodes; timber connections; engineered wood products; birch plywood; glued connections; dowelled connections; gusset plates;

    Abstract : For structural engineers, the two most important design criteria are utility andsafety. It is about making sure that a structural component is reliable enough not toendanger any of a building's users, while at the same time being as sustainable andefficiently designed as possible.
