  1. 1. 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.

  3. 2. Buckling and geometric nonlinear FE analysis of pitched large-spanroof structure of wood

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Ivan Filchev; [2016]
    Keywords : wood; truss; instability; numerical analyses; bracing;

    Abstract : An arched structure provides an effective load carrying system for large span structures. When it comes to long span roof structures, timber arches are one of the best solutions from both structural and aesthetical point of view. Glulam arched structures are often designed using slender elements due to economic consideration. READ MORE

  5. 4. Modelling of strengthened connections for large span truss structures

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik

    Author : Peter Kobel; [2011]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Because of its large ratio between strength and weight timber is a material very suitable for large span structures. For large spans of more than about 30 m, usually truss structures are adopted. READ MORE
