1. 1. 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

3. 2. 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

4. 3. Lista bridge-house

   University essay from KTH/Arkitektur

   Author : Niclas Svanberg; [2022]
   Keywords : Wood; Eskilstuna; Lake restauration; Astacus astacus; Noble crayfish; Leisure culture center;

   Abstract : On the northern shores of the recreated lake apal an isthmus protrudes spanning east and west. A road runs along the isthmus and from its center a leisure and culture-center spans out over the water. The isthmus protects the surrounding countryside from flooding during extreme rainfall as it is predicted by MSB. READ MORE

5. 4. Instability of tie rod trusses of glulam

   University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

   Author : Adam Wisam Kafaji; [2021]
   Keywords : Tie rod truss; instability; hall building; glulam; Underspänd takstol; instabilitet; hallbyggnad; limträ;

   Abstract : Many buildings today primarily serve the purpose of being envelopes that separate theindoor climate from the outdoors, for a large open area. Examples of these buildings arehall buildings of different sorts. READ MORE

6. 5. FE modeling of glulam beams with mechanical slotted-in steel plate connections.

   University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

   Author : Musaab Mahjoub; [2021]
   Keywords : Timber joints; Slotted-in steel plate connections; Python scripting; FEM; Abaqus.;

   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
