Recycling and End-of-Life Scenarios for Timber Structures
https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007%2F97... [Environmental Performance] [Book/Book Section] 2014
Annette Hafner, Stephan Ott, Stefan Winter
In consideration of sustainable buildings, closing life cycle loops becomes more and more important. Up to now reuse and recycling is taken rarely into account in building processes. With rising consumption of wood for energetic use recycling of material becomes more important. Up to now there are various studies in EU market ([1], [2], [3]), which quantify the usage of wood in market shares. Explicit calculations on recycling of wooden material in the building sector have not yet been done. In ...

Novel Lightweight Timber Composite Element: Web Design in Shear and Compression
https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007%2F97... [Mechanical Performance] [Book/Book Section] 2014
Simon Aicher, C. Stritzke
The paper examines the build-up and some aspects of the mechanical behavior of a novel lightweight timber composite called the Keel-web element. The element is a double-skinned composite similar to a multiple box beam element. The flanges consist of finger jointed lumber chords arranged and glued in parallel. The name-giving specific characteristic of the element consists of the multiple S-shaped webs made of plywood or OSB, resembling ship keels, glued in between the flanges. The element, which...

Wood and Building Occupants
http://cwc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/WOOD-and-... [Markets] [Report]
Canadian Wood Council
Buildings can signifi cantly infl uence the well being of people. There is evidence that suggests that the incorporation of natural elements, such as wood and sunlight, can have a positive impact on worker productivity and patient recovery. Because of its warmth and natural attributes, wood generates positive feelings. This, in turn, contributes to a person’s overall sense of well being resulting in better performance outcomes....

Evaluation of the Mechanical Properties of Cross Laminated Bamboo Panels by Digital Image Correlation and Finite Element Modelling
http://schd.ws/hosted_files/wcte2014/b5/ABS378_Arc... [Raw Materials] [Conference Paper] 2014
Hector F Archila, Daniel Brandon, Martin P Ansell, Pete Walker, Graham A Ormondroyd
Guadua angustifolia Kunth (Guadua) is a bamboo species native to South and Central America that has been widely used for structural applications in small and large scale buildings, bridges and temporary structures. Guadua remains a material for vernacular construction associated with high levels of manual labour and structural unpredictability. The aim of this work is to develop standardised industrial structural products from Guadua and to measure and predict their mechanical behaviour. Cross l...

Effect of flexible supports on vibration performance on timber floors
http://lnu.diva-portal.org/smash/get/diva2:640069/... [Vibration/Acoustic Performance] [Conference Paper] 2012
K. Jarnerö, Å. Bolmsvik, A. Olsson, A. Brandt
In residential multi-storey buildings of timber it is of great importance to reduce the flanking transmission of noise. Some building systems do this by installing a vibration-damping elastic interlayer, Sylomer or Sylodyn , in the junction between the support and the floor structure. This interlayer also improves the floor vibration performance by adding damping to the structure. In the present work the vibration performance of a floor with such interlayers has been investigated both in laborat...

Structural components and parts of buildings are not only exposed to thermal stress, but also to hygric stress. After the building has been completed, building components often still contain a considerable amount of building moisture. Therefore, using CLT is advantageous, as the driest possible structures can be obtained by using this product. ...

General finger joint for CLT
http://www.clt.info/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Gen... [Connectors] [Report] 2014
Stora Enso
A finger joint allows to extend the length of a timber batten or lamella with only a minor increase in strength at the finger joint location. In the production of CLT, finger joints are necessary to create a lamination of the required length, in order to create a CLT master panel. So far finger joints have been only applied to the individual Lamination strings. These finger joints do not cause an effective decrease in the strength of the entire CLT element, because the joint locations are spread...

Irish Timber – Characterisation, Potential and Innovation
http://www.irishtimber.org/uploads/1/9/2/0/1920947... [Raw Materials] [Conference Paper] 2014
Annette Harte, Daniel McPolin, Karol Sikora, Caoimhe O’Neill, Conan O’Ceallaigh
In order to increase the utilisation of Irish timber in construction and novel engineered wood products, the mechanical and physical properties of the material must be established. For timber products used for structural applications, the fundamental properties are the modulus of elasticity, bending strength, density and dimensional stability as these define the structural grade of the material. In order to develop engineering design models for applications such as reinforced timber, knowledge o...
