  2. 1. Mechanics of Cross-Laminated Timber

    Author : Dietrich Buck; Olle Hagman; Dick Sandberg; Mats Ekevad; Mikael Sjödahl; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; CLT assembly; CLT manufacture; Crosslam; DIC analysis; Digital speckle photography; Full-field mechanics; Laminated wood product; Mass timber engineering; Non-contact measurement; Non-destructive; Optical measurement; Panel configuration; Strain localization; X-lam; Alternativ byggmetod; Bildkorrelation; Hållbart byggande; KL- trä; Korslimmat trä; Skjuvtöjning; Massivträ; Träkonstruktion; Träteknik; Wood Science and Engineering;

    Abstract : Increasing awareness of sustainable building materials has led to interest in enhancing the structural performance of engineered wood products. Wood is a sustainable, renewable material, and the increasing use of wood in construction contributes to its sustainability. READ MORE

  4. 2. Moisture Transport and Moisture-Induced Distortions in Timber - an Experimental and Numerical Study

    Author : John Eriksson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; heat transfer; gluing; twist; drying; wood; timber board; laminated product; FEM; distortion; moisture; mass transfer;

    Abstract : Timber products subjected to climatic variations commonly display moisture-induced distortions that can lead to serious problems for end-users. The aim of the thesis, which consists of an extended summary and six appended papers, was to investigate the potential of using the gluing technique suggested here for dealing with problems of moisture-induced distortions and developing the heat and mass transfer models which such distortion analyses require.

  5. 3. Low Frequency Impact Sound in Timber Buildings : Simulations and Measurements

    Author : Jörgen Olsson; Andreas Linderholt; Leif Kari; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Low-frequency; impact sound; light weight floor; timber joist floor; tapping machine; multi-storey timber building; frequency response functions.; Stegljud; Byggteknik; Civil engineering;

    Abstract : An increased share of construction with timber is one possible way of achieving more sustainable and energy-efficient life cycles of buildings. The main reason is that wood is a renewable material and buildings require a large amount of resources. READ MORE

  6. 4. Vibrations in timber floors : Dynamic properties and human perception

    Author : Kirsi Jarnerö; Anders Professor; Tomi Toratti; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; wooden floor; timber floor; vibration; design criteria; damping; frequency; questionnaire; field test; socio-vibrational survey; vibration annoyance; vibration disturbance; Byggteknik; Civil engineering;

    Abstract : Springiness and vibrations of timber floors are familiar to many as a ‘live’ feelwhen walking on them, especially if living in single family housing with timberframework. Since the building regulations in Sweden changed to performancedependentrequirements in 1994 the use of timber in multifamily housing hasincreased. READ MORE

  7. 5. Dynamic properties of two pedestrian timber bridges : Experimental and numerical analysis at several stages of construction

    Author : Jens Bergenudd; Jean-Marc Battini; Roberto Crocetti; Patricia Hamm; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Dynamic analysis; Modal analysis; Pedestrian bridge; Timber; Railings; Asphalt; Slip modulus; Finite element modelling; Dynamisk analys; Modal analys; Gång- och cykelbro; Trä; Räcken; Asfalt; Förskjutningsmodul; Finita element modellering.; Bro- och stålbyggnad; Structural Engineering and Bridges;

    Abstract : Pedestrian bridges can beneficially be made from timber in order for our society to reach a sustainable future. This positive development is partly made possible due to advances in engineered wood products (e.g. glued laminated timber) and the possibilities for pre-fabrication of structural parts. READ MORE
