  1. 16. 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.

    University essay from KTH/Arkitektur

    Author : Christoph Leitner; [2019]
    Keywords : communitycenter; sustainability; flexibility; accessibility; local identity;

    Abstract : The building of a communitycentre in Gottsunda is part of an uppgrade of the suburb. A main feature of the upgrade will be a city street along the tramway that will run through the area.To give the old and the new inhabitants of the area a chance to meet and form a local identity, the focus of the house will be accessibility and flexibility.

  4. 18. Experimental study on innovative connections for large span structural timber trusses

    University essay from KTH/Byggnadsmaterial

    Author : Petter Werner Åström; [2019]
    Keywords : Timber structure; timber joint; large span trusses; experimental study; structural timber; birch plywood; reinforcement screws;

    Abstract : Large span timber trusses are usually built with glulam. One problem with large span glulam trusses is that the connections needed to transfer the load between truss members are often complex and expensive. Another issue is transportation. READ MORE

  5. 19. 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
