Kurzfassung

To overcome restrictions of existing connection methods and to increase the usability of round timber in the building sector, new joints for 2D truss structures need to be developed. To achieve this aim, this research proposes a new hybrid joining technology for 2D trusses in round timber, which (i) optimizes the connection configuration in round timber with an increased load bearing capacity and (ii) joins round timber members in the intersection by new modular and bio-based composite joints...To overcome restrictions of existing connection methods and to increase the usability of round timber in the building sector, new joints for 2D truss structures need to be developed. To achieve this aim, this research proposes a new hybrid joining technology for 2D trusses in round timber, which (i) optimizes the connection configuration in round timber with an increased load bearing capacity and (ii) joins round timber members in the intersection by new modular and bio-based composite joints with only uni-axial loading in timber grain direction.

This research project focuses on developing (i) a new connection configuration in round timber and (ii) a new modular and bio-based connection to join round timber strut members in the intersection.» weiterlesen» einklappen
