1. Glulam timber arches : strength of splices and reliability- based optimisation
Abstract : Arch structures are very sensitive to changes in the distribution of the load as well as to changes in their shape. A slight change in the load distribution may imply internal forces for which the arch is not designed. READ MORE

2. Strength and Moisture Aspects of Steel Timber Dowel Joints in Glulam Structures : An Experimental and Numerical Study
Abstract : Joints are critical parts of timber structures, transmitting static and dynamic forces between structural members. The ultimate behavior of e.g. a building depends strongly on the structural configuration and the capacity of its joints. READ MORE

3. Moisture Induced Stresses in Timber Structures
Abstract : Wood is a hygroscopic material; always striving to reach equilibrium with the surrounding air, and consequently the moisture content is different in different climate conditions. The strength of wood is directly dependent on the moisture content, lower moisture content leads to increasing strength. READ MORE

4. Systematic design of glulam trusses
Abstract : The design of a structure should be regarded as the design of a system. In this licentiate thesis a method (concurrent engineering) for the design of systems is studied parallel with the development of the system itself. READ MORE

5. Strengthening of timber structures with flax fibres
Abstract : The natural defects present in timber are the source of large variations in mechanical properties. This drawback has been partially counteracted with the use of Engineered Wood Products EWP (glulam, composite I-beam, parallel strand lumber, etc.) instead of solid wood. READ MORE
