  1. 1. Implementation of Level of Development for BIM Collaboration in Timber Building Subsystems Design: A Case Study of I-Joist Construction Elements

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Isabell Gustafsson; [2024]
    Keywords : BIM; I-Joist; LOD; Level of Development; Timber Building Subsystems;

    Abstract : Due to time, cost, and environmental challenges, wood has become a more common building material even for more complex buildings. Implementing the concept of Level of Development (LOD) on timber structures could provide a tool for BIM collaboration that may save cost and time, and in the early stages mediate wood as an available building material.

  3. 2. FE-modelling of glulam connection in a pre-tensioned glulam truss : Detailed Finite element modelling of the connection between primary beam and compression stud in a sub-tensioned glulam roof truss

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Edward Sebastian Swaretz; [2022]
    Keywords : Glulam; sub-tensioned roof truss; connection; instability; Abaqus Standard; Finite element method;

    Abstract : After the collapse of the roof structure in Tarfalahallen 2020, great attention has been focused on instability of sub-tensioned glulam roof trusses. Investigations were launched to find the reason for the collapse and the cause was instability in the roof truss that supported the roof. READ MORE

  4. 3. Market development for multi-story wood construction : views of architects and structural engineers

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Economics

    Author : Isac Färnström; [2022]
    Keywords : architects; back casting; enabling factors; gap-analysis; limiting factors; multi-story wood construction; structural engineer;

    Abstract : The multi-story wood construction industry has been on the rise in the past decades because of new regulations making it legal in Sweden and Finland. Politicians have been suggesting more wood materials in buildings because of the positive environmental impact when wood stores carbon dioxide. READ MORE

  5. 4. Composite timber structures – Ribbed plate design : Evaluation of existing and development of new design methods

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Cristoffer Mård; [2022]
    Keywords : Ribbed plates; CLT; gamma-method; Timoshenko-method; shear analogy-method; FE-models; RFEM; Abaqus;

    Abstract : Ribbed plates comprising cross-laminated timber slab, CLT, with glulam beams allow for increased span length compared to pure CLT slabs. At the moment the Eurocodes do not provide any recommendations to design a CLT plate or a ribbed plate. There are handbooks for designing ribbed plates. READ MORE

  6. 5. Investigation of methods to analyse global stability of a reinforced concrete stabilising core

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Evelina Husak; Ellinor Persson; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Ensuring the structural stability of a building is an evident requirement for the building to be safe to use. This becomes a qualified task for a structural engineer. Ensuring stability has become especially important nowadays while stabilising elements often are kept to a minimum and tall buildings are common. READ MORE
