  1. 6. Building extension through additional CLT storeys

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Charalampos Livas; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In the last decade, the use of cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels as load bearing elements have become a usual solution for buildings and structures with an upward trend internationally. This is because CLT has brilliant physical and mechanical properties and it is also an eco-friendly and renewable material. READ MORE

  3. 7. 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

  4. 8. Load Bearing Structural Elements of Glulam in Marine Environment : A literature and case study

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa, natur- och teknikvetenskap (from 2013)

    Author : Abrahamsson Karin; [2020]
    Keywords : Glulam; marine environment; Limträ; marin miljö;

    Abstract : This thesis discusses the possibilities of using glued laminated timber as load bearing structural elements in structures in close vicinity of saltwater. Glued laminated timber, also referred to as glulam, is a refined timber product constructed of timber lamellae that are glued together.

  5. 9. Non-uniformly distributed compression perpendicular to the grain in steel-CLT connections : Experimental and Numerical Analysis of bearing capacity and displacement behaviour

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Noah Ncube; Stephen Sabaa; [2019]
    Keywords : Compression; Perpendicular to the Grain; Cross-Laminated Timber CLT ; Connection; Non-uniformly distributed; Finite element; Load configuration factor;

    Abstract : Previous studies have mainly focused on the behaviour of timber under uniformly distributed compression perpendicular to the grain (CPG) loads. However, there are many practical applications in which timber is loaded by non-uniformly distributed CPG loads. READ MORE

  6. 10. Timber-steel hybrid structures with shear-key connections

    University essay from KTH/Byggnadsmaterial

    Author : Tianxiang Wang; Yue Wang; [2019]
    Keywords : Hybrid structures; shear-key connections; glulam beam; analytical calculation; simulations; experiments.;

    Abstract : Large-dimensional wooden products are highly demanded within the construction sector. Theprimary motive of the thesis is to find a solution to connect small timber elements by meansof special steel devices. READ MORE
