1. 16. FE-Modelling of a Joint for Cross-Laminated Timber

   University essay from Karlstads universitet/Avdelningen för maskin- och materialteknik

   Author : Linus Ekhagen; [2021]
   Keywords : cross-laminated timber; fe-modelling; continuum damage mechanics; fracture; korslimmat trä; fe modellering; skademekanik; brott;

   Abstract : Woodbe Engineering AB is a freshly started company that has developed a new type of joint for cross-laminated timber (CLT). The joint does not include any metallic fasteners, which improves sustainability, the ergonomics for the workers and time efficiency. READ MORE

3. 17. Timber Concrete Composite floors with Cross Laminated Timber - Structural behavior & Design

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaper

   Author : Albin Forsberg; Filip Farbäck; [2020]
   Keywords : timber concrete composite; TCC; floors; cross-laminated timber; CLT; structural behavior; design methods; Gamma method; Equivalent gamma method; Extended gamma method; RFEM; first natural frequency; serviceability limit state; ultimate limit state; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : På grund av den ökade miljö- och klimatmedvetenheten har övergången till förnybara material påskyndats, och detsamma gäller intresset för träbyggande. Med att bygga högt i trä kommer dock ett flertal konstruktionsmässiga utmaningar, där en av utmaningarna är dynamik på grund av träets låga egenvikt jämfört med andra mer konventionella byggnadsmaterial.

   Abstract : Increasing CO₂ emission is considered as the main reason for global warming in the world. One of the reasons for producing CO₂ is using of fossil-based materials in the construction projects. READ MORE

5. 19. DYNAMIC RESPONSE OF CROSS LAMINATED TIMBER FLOORS SUBJECT TO INTERNAL LOADS

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Byggnadsmekanik

   Author : Jacob Skoglund; [2020]
   Keywords : CLT; dynamic engineering; engineering; Cross laminated timber; CLT Panels; dynamic response; Timber; CLT floors; Wood; Dynamic behavior; steady state analysis; steady-state; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The deregulation of timber for use in large scale constructions has seen the addition of new innovative timber-based products to a category of products referred to as engineered wood products. A now well established addition to these products is cross laminated timber, or CLT for short. READ MORE

6. 20. Parametric design and optimization of steel and timber truss structures : Development of a workflow for design and optimization processes in Grasshopper 3D environment

   University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

   Author : FILMON WELDEGIORGIS; ANUP RAJ DHUNGANA; [2020]
   Keywords : Parametric design; Optimization; Parametric workflow; Steel; Timber; Truss; Grasshopper 3D; Karamba 3D; Galapagos; GH Python; Glulam; Finite Element Analysis;

   Abstract : The demand for complex structures and the urge to perform more detailed structural analyses in an early stage of the project design phase has increased the use of parametric design in the construction sector, especially among architects and structural engineers. Also, an increasing demand for sustainable structures is creating pressure on engineers and architects to design optimized structures that consume as little resources as possible. READ MORE
