1. Novel steel hinge connection for pedestrian timber bridges : Novel steel hinge connection for pedestrian timber bridges
University essay from KTH/ByggnadsmaterialAbstract : This study focuses on exploring a novel timber-to-timber joint using a steel hinge connection (in this work also referred to as door-hinge joint) for pedestrian timber bridges. To conduct the cross-section design of the structural bridge members, a numerical model was developed to determine the internal forces. READ MORE

2. Fire Resistance Test of Cross Laminated Timber Joints
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Byggkonstruktion och brandAbstract : The increased popularity of timber buildings has heightened the demand for more knowledge on how tomake these buildings safer. In many cases, parts of wooden constructions are prebuilt in factories that later are delivered to the building site. Transportation by road limits the sizes of the parts. READ MORE

3. Moment-resisting connections for glulam using birch plywood : An experimental study on both mechanical and adhesive connections
University essay from KTH/ByggnadsmaterialAbstract : The aim of this study was to investigate the load-bearing capacity and stiffness of mechanical and adhesively bonded connections in timber structures with gusset plates made of birch plywood, as a preliminary study for potential future use in long-span timber structures which could reduce the environmental impact of the building sector by substituting steel with wood products in moment-resisting connections. Birch plywood was chosen for this study due to its high bending strength in comparison to plywood made of softwoods and its availability on the market. READ MORE

5. Strength of axially loaded screw joints in wooden structures exposed to fire : An overview of existing knowledge and proposal for test method
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurserAbstract : Today, distinct approaches are required when designing timber structures and their joints in the event of fire. Considering that the steel fasteners have temperature dependent properties and that the surrounding wooden construction is also affected by the fire due to occurrence of charring during fire exposure, these types of joints are complicated to design.
