  1. 16. Design Method for Strut-Beam Connection in Hinged Frames

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Byggnadsmekanik

    Author : Juan Cardenal; [2012]
    Keywords : ABAQUS; LEFM; failure modes; three-pin portal frames; shear stress; built-up haunches; framed joint; glulam; size effects; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Glulam is almost exclusively the chosen material of timber frame structures. Of those, three-hinged (three-pin) portal frames are incomparably the most common type. Being both statically determinate and stable against horizontal forces in its own plane offer both practical (basic constructive details) and economical benefits. READ MORE

  3. 17. Finite-Element Simulations of Glulam Beams with Natural Cracks

    University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Sektionen för ingenjörsvetenskap

    Author : Sepehr Rahili Khorasani; [2012]
    Keywords : Glulam beams; Fracture mechanics; XFEM; Natural crack; ABAQUS; VCCT.;

    Abstract : Abstract: Modeling and simulation of natural cracks and its propagation for glulam beams in numerical method frame work have been studied in this thesis. The aim of this study was to find out the influence of formed cracks on the Glulam beam load-carrying capacity. READ MORE

  4. 18. Structural behavior of notched glulam beams reinforced by means of plywood and FRP.

    University essay from Institutionen för teknik, TEK

    Author : Maha Fawwaz; Adnan Hanna; [2012]
    Keywords : glued laminated timber; glulam; notch; finite element analysis; FRP; reinforcement;

    Abstract : Nowadays, timber is widely used in construction industry thanks to its availability and good properties. The use of solid (sawn) timber is not always proper since it is only available up to certain dimensions. Therefore, the so-called Engineered WoodProducts (EWPs) have been introduced to cope with the different design needs of structures. READ MORE

  5. 19. Modelling of strengthened connections for large span truss structures

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik

    Author : Peter Kobel; [2011]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Because of its large ratio between strength and weight timber is a material very suitable for large span structures. For large spans of more than about 30 m, usually truss structures are adopted. READ MORE

  6. 20. Numerical Analysis of Compression Perpendicular to the Grain in Glulam Beams With and Without Reinforcement

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Byggnadsmekanik

    Author : Jimmy Persson; [2011]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In Sweden there has recently been a change in the code from the former BFS2010:2 BKR 13 to Eurocode 5. This shift has led to changes when calculating the design capacity for all materials including wood. One of the parameters that were changed was the strength of wood perpendicular to the grain.
