  2. 1. Performance of Stress-Laminated-Timber Bridge Decks

    Author : Kristoffer K J Ekholm; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; butt joints; non-linear modelling; stress-laminated timber; linear modelling; prestressing; timber bridges; interlaminar slip; FE modelling; laboratory tests; durability;

    Abstract : Stress-laminated-timber (SLT) bridge decks are a satisfactory alternative to conventional short-span bridges in terms of cost and performance. SLT decks are made from a number of timber or glulam beams positioned side by side and stressed together using high-strength steel bars. READ MORE

  4. 2. Adhesive Joints in Timber Engineering. Modelling and Testing of Fracture Properties

    Author : Erik Serrano; Byggnadsmekanik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; wood; test method; tensile strength; stress distribution; size effect; numerical simulation; laminating effect; laminated beams; joint; glued-laminated timber; glued-in rod; fracture mechanics; finite element method; finger-joint; experiment; damage; constitutive modelling; adhesive; bending strength; Environmental technology; pollution control; Miljöteknik; kontroll av utsläpp; Construction technology; Anläggningsteknik; Material technology; Materiallära; materialteknik;

    Abstract : This thesis, which is a compilation of seven papers, concerns the mechanical testing, numerical analysis and constitutive modelling of wood-adhesive bonds in timber engineering. Applications such as finger-joints, glued-laminated timber and glued-in rods are considered. READ MORE

  5. 3. 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

  6. 4. Parametric FE-modelling of non-linear racking behaviour of light-frame shear walls and modules used for multi-storey timber buildings

    Author : Le Kuai; Sigurdur Ormarsson; Johan Vessby; Marie Johansson; Kay-Uwe Schober; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Byggteknik; Civil engineering;

    Abstract : Wood is a sustainable material from nature that has a longstanding traditionas a building material. Compared to other construction materials, such as steeland concrete, the significance of using structural timber and engineered wood products has increased in recent years because they are regarded as a renewable source and require a low carbon footprint and less energy consumption during production.
