1. Experimental Investigation of Net-Tension Capacity in Birch Plywood Gusset Plates via Mechanical Connectors and Adhesives
University essay from KTH/Byggteknik och designAbstract : This thesis examines the mechanical behavior and performance of plywood connections withmechanical connectors and adhesive bonding to glulam. The aim is to provide insights into thecapacity and characteristics of these connections for well-founded design decisions in timberstructures. READ MORE

2. Moment-resisting connections for glulam using birch plywood : An experimental study on both mechanical and adhesive connections
University essay from KTH/ByggnadsmaterialAbstract : 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

3. Load-bearing wood connections using birch plywood : An experimental study of birch plywood gusset plates behaviour with mechanical connectors
University essay from KTH/ByggnadsmaterialAbstract : A growing sustainability concern is pushing the construction industry to seekalternative materials with lower environmental impact. In the last decade useof wood as load-bearing construction has become a common trend, however,connections of timber elements are still performed by the use of steel plates. READ MORE

4. Complex Stress States In Structural Birch Plywood : An experimental study on the behaviour of birch plywood in structural applications
University essay from KTH/ByggnadsmaterialAbstract : 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.

5. Thinning strategies of birch in Latvia, with application in a newly established field experiment
University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research CentreAbstract : Birch (Betula pendula Roth) is an early successional species which, if grown in suitable soils with wise management, can have high and valuable production. Large-dimension birch-wood is used for saw logs and plywood production, but smaller ones for pulpwood and energy wood. READ MORE
