1. 1. 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

3. 2. FE-Modelling of a Joint for Cross-Laminated Timber

   University essay from Karlstads universitet/Avdelningen för maskin- och materialteknik

   Author : Linus Ekhagen; [2021]
   Keywords : cross-laminated timber; fe-modelling; continuum damage mechanics; fracture; korslimmat trä; fe modellering; skademekanik; brott;

   Abstract : Woodbe Engineering AB is a freshly started company that has developed a new type of joint for cross-laminated timber (CLT). The joint does not include any metallic fasteners, which improves sustainability, the ergonomics for the workers and time efficiency. READ MORE

4. 3. 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

5. 4. Numerical and experimental study of light-frame shear walls

   University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

   Author : Rajan Maharjan; Mohamad El Rachid; [2019]
   Keywords : wood; shear wall; FEM analysis; ABAQUS; experiment; stiffness; racking deformation;

   Abstract : In recent time, some of the construction processes of multi-storey timber buildings are achieved by using prefabricated volume modules since this method is very beneficial due to its high prefabrication level and the fast on-site assembly of the modules. The main structural component of these modules is a light-frame shear wall that stabilizes these modules from the effect of horizontal forces. READ MORE

6. 5. Timber Shear Wall Analysis : Parameterized Finite Element Modelling

   University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

   Author : Imre Kormendy; Mustafa Muwaili; [2018]
   Keywords : Timber structures; shear walls; ABAQUS; FE analysis; parameterized modeling;

   Abstract : This paper investigates the linear elastic behavior of timber shear walls under monotonic prescribed displacement. ABAQUS© 16.4-5, is a numerical finite element software used as the primary analysis methodology.  Parameterized models are created for two shear wall specimens of different geometry concerning door and window configurations.
