    Abstract : Lund University (2020) describes that the material chosen for the construction of constructions significantly affects the environment. Due to the impact of the choice of construction materials on the environment, we have carried out an in-depth study where we examine the complex decision-making process when choosing frame materials concerning both external and internal factors where external influences become regulatory requirements related to global sustainability goals with the aim that the industrial construction industry can find sustainable solutions such as hybrid solutions in the choice of frame materials, while internal factors involve financial considerations linked to the protection of materials against environmental conditions and challenges that industrial buildings can face.

  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
