  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.

  2. 12. Experimental study on innovative connections for large span structural timber trusses

    University essay from KTH/Byggnadsmaterial

    Author : Petter Werner Åström; [2019]
    Keywords : Timber structure; timber joint; large span trusses; experimental study; structural timber; birch plywood; reinforcement screws;

    Abstract : Large span timber trusses are usually built with glulam. One problem with large span glulam trusses is that the connections needed to transfer the load between truss members are often complex and expensive. Another issue is transportation. READ MORE

  3. 13. Non-uniformly distributed compression perpendicular to the grain in steel-CLT connections : Experimental and Numerical Analysis of bearing capacity and displacement behaviour

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Noah Ncube; Stephen Sabaa; [2019]
    Keywords : Compression; Perpendicular to the Grain; Cross-Laminated Timber CLT ; Connection; Non-uniformly distributed; Finite element; Load configuration factor;

    Abstract : Previous studies have mainly focused on the behaviour of timber under uniformly distributed compression perpendicular to the grain (CPG) loads. However, there are many practical applications in which timber is loaded by non-uniformly distributed CPG loads. READ MORE

  4. 14. Timber-steel hybrid structures with shear-key connections

    University essay from KTH/Byggnadsmaterial

    Author : Tianxiang Wang; Yue Wang; [2019]
    Keywords : Hybrid structures; shear-key connections; glulam beam; analytical calculation; simulations; experiments.;

    Abstract : Large-dimensional wooden products are highly demanded within the construction sector. Theprimary motive of the thesis is to find a solution to connect small timber elements by meansof special steel devices. READ MORE

  5. 15. A Generative Design of TimberStructures According to Eurocode : Development of a Parametric Model in Grasshopper

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : NICOLINA ANDRÉN JAKOBSSON; SIMON BOHMAN; [2019]
    Keywords : Parametric design; Timber; Optimization; Generative Design; Glulam; Grasshopper; Python i;

    Abstract : The interest of timber structures has in recent years increased, primarily due tothe environmental benets of timber. This has created an increased demand forstructural engineers with timber expertise. At the same time the concept of structuralparametric design have become more popular. READ MORE
