Layered wooden composite with rational structure and increased specific bending strength
http://imateh.rtu.lv/wp-content/uploads/sites/28/2... [Bonding/Adhesives] [Report] 2015 Karlis Rocens The aim of the project is creation of rational wooden composite with rational structure. Development of load bearing layered wood composite with rational structure (standard plywood plates do not have rational distribution of material through the thickness and layered material gives an opportunity to create an optimal topology of material distribution through the thickness) that provides increased specific bending stiffness (stiffness to weight ratio), reduced costs, consumption of materials and... |

https://www.canadianarchitect.com/features/souther... [Case Study/Projects] [Magazine/Newspaper Article] 2017 Alex Bozikovic I can smell the fragrance of forest. In this case it’s emanating from some planks of softwood attached to a lobby ceiling at T3, an office building in downtown Minneapolis. A few steps further in, a stair made of edge-laminated veneer lumber rises into the corner, past a photographic mural of a coniferous forest. Its developer—Houston, Texas-based Hines—has named it T3, for “timber, transit and technology,” and all of this woodiness, real and symbolic, indicates the building’s raison d’être. It... |
