2. 1. Influence of structural timber variability on reliability and damage tolerance of timber beams

   Author : Ireneusz Czmoch; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Structural Engineering; Konstruktionsteknik;

   Abstract : The thesis addresses two main problems: 1) Probablistic modelling of lengthwise variability in structural timber, 2) Reliability and damage tolerance analysis of beams made of structural timber. Timber is considered as an elastic-brittle material. Dependence of timber properties on time and environment conditions is neglected. READ MORE

4. 2. Modelling the Variability of Bending Strength in Structural Timber - Length and Load Configuration Effects

   Author : Tord Isaksson; Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; code; reliability-based design; Weibull; test standard; load configuration effect; length effect; weak section; machine grading; visual grading; variability; Structural timber; bending strength; simulation; monte carlo simulation.; Building construction; Byggnadsteknik;

   Abstract : The load carrying capacity of a beam of structural timber is dependent both on the span of the beam and the type of loading. The longer the beam and the more uniform the moment distribution, the lower the load carrying capacity. This phenomenon is due to the variability of material properties within a piece of timber.

5. 3. Design for Serviceability - A probabilistic approach

   Author : Daniel Honfi; Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; design codes; long-term deflections; structural reliability; serviceability;

   Abstract : In many design situations the acceptable performance of structures is defined by serviceability requirements. To estimate the probability of serviceability failure three main design aspects should be considered: (1) the relevant exposures, (2) the structural response and (3) the performance criteria.

6. 4. Consideration of the non-linear behaviour of joints for efficient design of complex timber structures

   Author : Dorotea Caprio; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; joints; elastic stiffness; ductility; regression model; reliability-based; connections;

   Abstract : The re-emergence of timber as a construction material, facilitated by the development of modern engineered wood products, has enabled the creation of modern and complex timber structures. A detailed description of the load-displacement curves of timber joints is required. READ MORE

7. 5. The transition of industrialised house-building towards improved production control

   Author : Martin Lennartsson; Martin Rudberg; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Träbyggnad; Timber Structures;

   Abstract : Production control is the coordination of supply chain and production activities within manufacturing systems to achieve specific delivery flexibility and delivery reliability with a minimum of cost. Swedish industrialised house-building is a part of housing construction, employing an engineer-to-order production strategy, meaning that products (buildings) are engineered (designed) and produced to order.
