  1. 11. 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.

  3. 12. A pre-study of the dynamic behavior of a single diagonal timber arch bridge

    University essay from KTH/Byggnadsmaterial

    Author : Xiaoqi Wang; Shufan Ye; [2020]
    Keywords : : single diagonal arch bridge; timber bridge; footbridge; finite element analysis; resonance induced vibration; bridge dynamics; dimensional analysis;

    Abstract : The aim of this Master’s thesis was to study the dynamic behaviour of a special type ofpedestrian timber bridge with a single diagonal arch - a design proposal made in a previousstudent project. The bridge is intended to be built as a gateway to the Alfred Nobel’s Björkbornin the municipality of Karlskoga. READ MORE

  4. 13. Behaviour of cross laminated timber elements with openings at out-of-plane loading conditions

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

    Author : Christopher Hast; Daniel Fatemi; [2020]
    Keywords : CLT; Cross laminated timber; Grillage model; Gamma method; Bernoulli-Euler beam theory; Timoshenko beam theory; Finite element method; FEM; Composite; Abaqus; Technology and Engineering; Science General;

    Abstract : The use of cross laminated timber (CLT) is expanding, its use is relatively new and universal design standards are lacking. One situation for which no universal design standard exists is that of a CLT plate element with an opening. A grillage method has been proposed as a convenient method to design such plate elements.
