  4. 19. Stability design of multi-storey timber structures

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för tillämpad fysik och elektronik

    Author : Thomas Brajerski; [2014]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Stability design of buildings is an extremely important discipline within the field of structural engineering.   This report demonstrates, with help of a worked example, the theory behind the stabilisation of multi-storey timber structures. The worked example is an existing 6-storey building, primarily made with cross laminated timber (CLT). READ MORE

  5. 20. Design of inter-component load-bearing connections in prefabricated single-family houses

    University essay from Institutionen för teknik, TEK

    Author : Julia Poggenburg; [2012]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : For the transfer of horizontal loads acting on a timber building the connections between the prefabricated timber elements play an important role. In this work the standard wall-to-substrate, wall-to-wall, wall-to-flooring/flooring-to-wall and roof-to-wall connections of three investigated timber building companies are analysed according to their force transmission capacities and applicability during the assembly process.
