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

   Författare :Tord Isaksson; Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik; []
   Nyckelord :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;

   Sammanfattning : 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.

3. 17. The Structure of Chinese Timber Architecture Twelfth century design standards and construction principles

   Författare :Qinghua Guo; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; units of measurement; design standards; timber structure; Chinese architecture; building patterns; carpentry system; construction principles; proportion; modular design;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis examines the building standards and construction principles prescribed and used in the construction of state buildings of the Song Dynasty (960 - 1279), China, from the viewpoint of architectural design. It aims to answer three fundamental questions: (1) What measuring system was used in the carpentry design and construction? (2) What building scales and proportions were prescribed for and used in state buildings of the time? (3) What were the interrelations of the structural patterns and roof types, and what were their relationships to the building scales and proportions? The thesis begins by providing detailed explanations of the highly refined and unique Song period modular system which governed not only the sizes of each individual elements, but also the dimensions of structural grids and the proportion of entire building.

4. 18. Development and Evaluation of Mechanical Joints for Composite Floor Elements with Cross Laminated Timber

   Författare :Nicolas Jacquier; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Träbyggnad; Timber Structures;

   Sammanfattning : One of the important issues in the development of a multi-storey timber construction system is the definition of the floor solution. This thesis focuses on the development of composite floor solutions where Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) panels are used as a base element. LÄS MER

5. 19. Moisture Induced Stresses in Timber Structures

   Författare :Johan Jönsson; Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Teknik; load carrying capacity; Technological sciences; reinforcement; short-term strength perpendicular to grain; internal stresses; glulam; contact free measuring technique moisture gradients;

   Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER

7. 20. Influence of structural timber variability on reliability and damage tolerance of timber beams

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

   Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER
