1. FE-modelling of glulam connection in a pre-tensioned glulam truss : Detailed Finite element modelling of the connection between primary beam and compression stud in a sub-tensioned glulam roof truss
University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnadAbstract : After the collapse of the roof structure in Tarfalahallen 2020, great attention has been focused on instability of sub-tensioned glulam roof trusses. Investigations were launched to find the reason for the collapse and the cause was instability in the roof truss that supported the roof. READ MORE

3. Composite timber structures – Ribbed plate design : Evaluation of existing and development of new design methods
University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)Abstract : Ribbed plates comprising cross-laminated timber slab, CLT, with glulam beams allow for increased span length compared to pure CLT slabs. At the moment the Eurocodes do not provide any recommendations to design a CLT plate or a ribbed plate. There are handbooks for designing ribbed plates. READ MORE

4. 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

5. Technical Optimization of a Long Span Beam made of Glulam Elements
University essay from KTH/ByggnadsmaterialAbstract : Timber constructions have during the past two or three decades become more andmore common, mostly due to the easy prefabrication and the cheap, sustainablematerial. For long-span applications it is vital to find design solutions that optimizethe structure from the point of view of material consumption, number of theconnections, structural reliability etc. READ MORE
