  1. 1. Implementation of Level of Development for BIM Collaboration in Timber Building Subsystems Design: A Case Study of I-Joist Construction Elements

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Isabell Gustafsson; [2024]
    Keywords : BIM; I-Joist; LOD; Level of Development; Timber Building Subsystems;

    Abstract : Due to time, cost, and environmental challenges, wood has become a more common building material even for more complex buildings. Implementing the concept of Level of Development (LOD) on timber structures could provide a tool for BIM collaboration that may save cost and time, and in the early stages mediate wood as an available building material.

  3. 2. On analysis of HSQ steel beams combined with a CLT flooring system

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Yasir Zahid; Yasir Zeito; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : 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

  4. 3. Composite timber structures – Ribbed plate design : Evaluation of existing and development of new design methods

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Cristoffer Mård; [2022]
    Keywords : Ribbed plates; CLT; gamma-method; Timoshenko-method; shear analogy-method; FE-models; RFEM; Abaqus;

    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

  5. 4. Moment-resisting connections for glulam using birch plywood : An experimental study on both mechanical and adhesive connections

    University essay from KTH/Byggnadsmaterial

    Author : Jonatan Ringaby; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : 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

  6. 5. CHARACTERISATION OF CROSS LAMINATED TIMBER PROPERTIES

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Byggnadsmekanik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaper

    Author : Emil Nilsson; [2021]
    Keywords : CLT; cross laminated timber; in-plane loading; out-of-plane loading; beam; rolling shear modulus; experimental tests; FE-modelling; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : 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.
