1. 1. Catenary action to prevent progressive collapse in multistorey timber buildings : An experimental study of tube joints

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Träteknik; Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för tillämpad fysik, maskin- och materialteknik

   Author : Sivert Knutsen; [2023]
   Keywords : wood; engineering; construction; massive timber; tube joints; Progressive collapse;

   Abstract : In the modern building industry wood as a building material has been looked on as one of the solutions to lower the environmentally impact of the building industry. Building types that normally have been reserved for concrete and steel are today being built with wood as main load bearing component. READ MORE

3. 2. Fire Resistance Test of Cross Laminated Timber Joints

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Byggkonstruktion och brand

   Author : Oliver Cato; [2022]
   Keywords : CLT; Joints; Fire; resistance; Korslaminerat; trä; skarvar; Brand; motstånd;

   Abstract : The increased popularity of timber buildings has heightened the demand for more knowledge on how tomake these buildings safer. In many cases, parts of wooden constructions are prebuilt in factories that later are delivered to the building site. Transportation by road limits the sizes of the parts. READ MORE

4. 3. Moment-resisting connections for glulam using birch plywood : An experimental study on both mechanical and adhesive connections

   University essay from KTH/Byggnadsmaterial

   Author : Jonatan Ringaby; [2022]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The aim of this study was to investigate the load-bearing capacity and stiffness of mechanical and adhesively bonded connections in timber structures with gusset plates made of birch plywood, as a preliminary study for potential future use in long-span timber structures which could reduce the environmental impact of the building sector by substituting steel with wood products in moment-resisting connections. Birch plywood was chosen for this study due to its high bending strength in comparison to plywood made of softwoods and its availability on the market. READ MORE

5. 4. System:Forest

   University essay from KTH/Arkitektur

   Author : Samira Hedberg Ibáñez; [2022]
   Keywords : Kronby; Forest; tree; Wood; Design for Deconstruction; Deconstruction; Dissassemble; Reassemble; Architecture; System; construction; Iso timber; CLT; Gluelam; Cabin; House; Gazebo; Complementary building;

   Abstract : What I have tried to do in this project is to come up with a system of building that gives the building and the materials within, a chance for a longer life. A system that does not only make it easier to change the layout on the inside, but also makes it easier to disassemble the entire structure with minimal damage to the materials and the surroundings.

6. 5. Strength of axially loaded screw joints in wooden structures exposed to fire : An overview of existing knowledge and proposal for test method

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

   Author : Emma Wiklund; [2021]
   Keywords : Fire; Wood; Screws; Strength; test method;

   Abstract : Today, distinct approaches are required when designing timber structures and their joints in the event of fire. Considering that the steel fasteners have temperature dependent properties and that the surrounding wooden construction is also affected by the fire due to occurrence of charring during fire exposure, these types of joints are complicated to design.
