  1. 26. The impact of connection stiffness on the global structural behavior in a CLT building : A combined experimental-numerical study

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Jenny Abrahamsson; Filip la Fleur; [2021]
    Keywords : CLT; Cross Laminated Timber; Connection; Rotational Stiffness; Moment Capacity; Modelling; FEM.;

    Abstract : Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) has in recent years become a more important building material. This means that the demand for accurate calculation methods in building standards such as Eurocode 5 has increased. There is limited knowledge about the connections in CLT buildings which is an important part of a CLT structure. READ MORE

  3. 27. Operational modal analysis and finite element modeling of a low-rise timber building

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Viktor Petersson; Andreas Svanberg; [2021]
    Keywords : Timber structure; Dynamic behavior; Operational modal analysis; FE-modeling; Mode shape; Natural frequency.; Träbyggnad; Dynamiskt beteende; Operational modal analysis; FE-modellering; Egenmod; Egenfrekvens.;

    Abstract : Timber is a building material that is becoming more common and of interest for use in high-rise buildings. One of the reasons is that timber requires less energy input for the manufacturing process of the material compared to non-wood based materials. READ MORE

  4. 28. 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. 29. Industrial Requirements for Cross-Laminated Timber Manufacturing

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för skog och träteknik (SOT)

    Author : Matilda Torneport; [2021]
    Keywords : Cross-laminated timber; CLT industry; Wood species; Adhesive; Strength class; Timber grades;

    Abstract : Wood is a valuable sustainable material that meets the requirements for structural application. Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is a wood-based product that is mainly used in the building industry. Due to the rapid global market increase, a number of new CLT plants are emerging worldwide and thereby a need for standardisation is more than ever. READ MORE
