   Keywords : hiking; cabin; trail; system; structural; wood; hike; höga kusten; high coast;

   Abstract : site of the High Coast area. The area spans from Örnsköldsvik down to Härnösand. In this area, a hiking trail called The High Coast Trail extends through almost the entire World Heritage. The trail is 130 km long and is one of Sweden’s 14 signature trails. READ MORE

3. 2. Catenary action to prevent progressive collapse in multistorey timber buildings : An experimental study of tube joints

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Träteknik; Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för tillämpad fysik, maskin- och materialteknik

   Author : Sivert Knutsen; [2023]
   Keywords : wood; engineering; construction; massive timber; tube joints; Progressive collapse;

   Abstract : In the modern building industry wood as a building material has been looked on as one of the solutions to lower the environmentally impact of the building industry. Building types that normally have been reserved for concrete and steel are today being built with wood as main load bearing component. READ MORE

4. 3. Axially loaded screw joints in wooden structures exposed to fire : Fire tests in furnace and numerical calculations in TASEF of different screw mounting variations

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

   Author : Henrik Pettersson; Emma Wiklund; [2022]
   Keywords : Fire; wood; screw joints; strength; temperature; TASEF; Brand; trä; skruvförband; bärförmåga; temperatur; TASEF;

   Abstract : To achieve sufficient stability of a structure in a fire scenario, a thorough design of joints in wooden structures are as important as the design of the construction itself. As an earlier study points out, there are no existing design method available to determine the load capacity of an axially loaded screw joint in wooden structures, which complicate the process of a thorough design of the joint in a fire scenario.

5. 4. Moment-resisting connections for glulam using birch plywood : An experimental study on both mechanical and adhesive connections

   University essay from KTH/Byggnadsmaterial

   Author : Jonatan Ringaby; [2022]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : 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
