  1. 1. Experimental Investigation of Net-Tension Capacity in Birch Plywood Gusset Plates via Mechanical Connectors and Adhesives

    University essay from KTH/Byggteknik och design

    Author : Ibrahim Abd Ullah Alhamo; Farid Mobin; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis examines the mechanical behavior and performance of plywood connections withmechanical connectors and adhesive bonding to glulam. The aim is to provide insights into thecapacity and characteristics of these connections for well-founded design decisions in timberstructures. READ MORE

  2. 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

  3. 3. Load-bearing wood connections using birch plywood : An experimental study of birch plywood gusset plates behaviour with mechanical connectors

    University essay from KTH/Byggnadsmaterial

    Author : Mattia Debertolis; Agne Laurinaviciute; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A growing sustainability concern is pushing the construction industry to seekalternative materials with lower environmental impact. In the last decade useof wood as load-bearing construction has become a common trend, however,connections of timber elements are still performed by the use of steel plates. READ MORE

  4. 4. Complex Stress States In Structural Birch Plywood : An experimental study on the behaviour of birch plywood in structural applications

    University essay from KTH/Byggnadsmaterial

    Author : Patrik Hedlund; Pontus Persson; [2021]
    Keywords : large-span-structures; trusses; truss nodes; timber connections; engineered wood products; birch plywood; glued connections; dowelled connections; gusset plates;

    Abstract : For structural engineers, the two most important design criteria are utility andsafety. It is about making sure that a structural component is reliable enough not toendanger any of a building's users, while at the same time being as sustainable andefficiently designed as possible.

  5. 5. 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
