2. 1. Industrialised timber frame housing : managing customisation, change, and information

   Author : Max Bergström; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Träbyggnad; Timber Structures;

   Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis is to develop an increased understanding of industrialised timber frame housing (timber frame housing construction fully or partially conducted in a controlled environment utilising industrial processes and machinery). Of specific interest is how industrialised timber frame housing companies manage customisation, change, and information. READ MORE

4. 2. Architectural aspects of massive timber : structural form and systems

   Author : Andreas Falk; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Träbyggnad; Timber Structures;

   Abstract : The hypothesis of this thesis is that there are rational, technical and architectural gains to be made from interactively developed architectural and structural utilisation of massive timber plates. The aim is to study and describe architectural features of structural applications of massive timber and ways to utilise and develop timber-based plates in building applications by combining an architectural and a structural engineering perspective.

5. 3. Numerical Modelling of Timber Building Components to Prevent Disproportionate Collapse

   Author : Johannes A. J. Huber; Sven Berg; Dick Sandberg; Mats Ekevad; Ulf Arne Girhammar; Jan-Willem G. van de Kuilen; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; finite element modelling; alternative load paths; cross laminated timber; progressive collapse; CT scanning; fibre reconstruction; image analysis; Träteknik; Wood Science and Engineering;

   Abstract : An increasing number of multi-storey buildings are being constructed with engineered wood products, such as glulam or cross-laminated timber (CLT). Multi-storey timber buildings can be safely designed for foreseeable loads, but knowledge is limited concerning their ability to survive unforeseeable events, e.g. READ MORE

6. 4. Image based methods for nondestructive detection of compression wood in sawn timber

   Author : Jan Nyström; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Träteknik; Wood Technology;

   Abstract : Compression wood is an anomaly in wood formed by the living softwood tree to compensate for excessive, asymmetric loads by developing special fibres. Compression wood has special properties that are unwanted in the utilisation of sawn wood products and is thus desirable to detect and reject in an early stage. READ MORE

7. 5. Modelling and strength grading of structural timber and glulam lamellae on the basis of optical scanning and dynamic excitation

   Author : Andreas Briggert; Anders Olsson; Jan Oscarsson; Mikael Perstorper; Linnéuniversitetet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Fibre direction; finger joint; machine strength grading; knots; tracheid effect; Norway spruce; Byggteknik; Civil engineering;

   Abstract : Machine strength grading of sawn timber is a sawmill process in which density, modulus of elasticity (MOE) and bending or tensile strength are predicted such that the timber can be assigned to strength classes. The predictions of these properties are performed using one or several so-called indicating properties (IPs), which represent a board property, or combination of board properties, measured non-destructively.
