  4. 3. Structural behavior of notched glulam beams reinforced by means of plywood and FRP.

    University essay from Institutionen för teknik, TEK

    Author : Maha Fawwaz; Adnan Hanna; [2012]
    Keywords : glued laminated timber; glulam; notch; finite element analysis; FRP; reinforcement;

    Abstract : Nowadays, timber is widely used in construction industry thanks to its availability and good properties. The use of solid (sawn) timber is not always proper since it is only available up to certain dimensions. Therefore, the so-called Engineered WoodProducts (EWPs) have been introduced to cope with the different design needs of structures. READ MORE

  5. 4. New fast connection for a building system based on green-glued boards.

    University essay from Institutionen för teknik, TEK

    Author : Subheksha Baskota Karki; Hans Freij; [2009]
    Keywords : Green-glued laminated boards; connections; wood; beam-beam connection;

    Abstract : Växjö university has together with Södra developed a new green-glued laminated beam, which to be used in a building system. To make a product of the beam it is desired to also develop a building system based on the beam. An important part of such a building system is the connections. READ MORE
