1. On analysis of HSQ steel beams combined with a CLT flooring system
University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnadAbstract : With the aspiration of modern-day society to achieve a more environmentally friendly andsustainable world, several industries of the world are continuously and constantly examiningdifferent possibilities to reduce the climate impact of the world. For the construction industry,this is no different. READ MORE

2. 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

3. 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

4. CHARACTERISATION OF CROSS LAMINATED TIMBER PROPERTIES
University essay from Lunds universitet/Byggnadsmekanik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaperAbstract : This project concerns an analysis of a hitherto untested method for determining the modulus of elasticity (MoE) and shear modulus parallel to grain, as well as the rolling shear modulus of cross laminated timber (CLT) through 3-point bending tests. A review of analytical models and methods is included, followed by an evaluation of the effect of the annual ring orientation and shear stress distribution at shear loading of individual board cross-sections.

5. FE modeling of glulam beams with mechanical slotted-in steel plate connections.
University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)Abstract : The mechanical behavior of timber beams with a slotted-in steel plate connection is studied by creating a numerical model that is able to simulate the global bending behavior, the global load carrying capacity and the nonlinear plastic fastener force distribution in the connection. Experimental results from Material Testing Institute (MPA), University of Stuttgart were used to verify the simulation results from this study. READ MORE
