  1. 1. 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.

  4. 3. Stability analysis and modelling of a structure with corrugated roof

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

    Author : Nikola Tosovic; [2020]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Corrugated galvanized iron (CGI), or corrugated sheet metal, is a lightweight roofing material that was invented in the early 1800s. The corrugation gives the steel an increased flexural strength in its installed direction and thus increases the amount of load the CGI-plate is able to carry and the span it can be effective at.

  5. 4. Experimental study on innovative connections for large span structural timber trusses

    University essay from KTH/Byggnadsmaterial

    Author : Petter Werner Åström; [2019]
    Keywords : Timber structure; timber joint; large span trusses; experimental study; structural timber; birch plywood; reinforcement screws;

    Abstract : Large span timber trusses are usually built with glulam. One problem with large span glulam trusses is that the connections needed to transfer the load between truss members are often complex and expensive. Another issue is transportation. READ MORE

  6. 5. Buckling and geometric nonlinear FE analysis of pitched large-spanroof structure of wood

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Ivan Filchev; [2016]
    Keywords : wood; truss; instability; numerical analyses; bracing;

    Abstract : An arched structure provides an effective load carrying system for large span structures. When it comes to long span roof structures, timber arches are one of the best solutions from both structural and aesthetical point of view. Glulam arched structures are often designed using slender elements due to economic consideration. READ MORE
