Abstract:
Key point to development of environmentally friendly timber structures, appropriate to urban ways of living, is the development of high-rise timber buildings. Comfort properties are nowadays one of the main limitations to tall timber buildings, and an enhanced knowledge on damping phenomena is therefore required, as well as improved prediction models for damping. The aim of this work has consequently been to estimate various damping quantities in timber structures. In particular, models have been derived for predicting material damping in timber members, beams or panels, or in more complex tim

Increasingly complex architectural geometries present new challenges for structural engineers. Collaborative, digital workflows which integrate 3D parametric architectural models with Finite Element Modelling software grant structural engineers a higher degree of geometric versatility and influence during the preliminary design phase. Through integrated parametric design models – also labelled “co-rationalized” – structural engineers may not only easily respond to rapid model variations and unusual assemblies, but also inform the building design from inception.

Connections and fasteners play an essential role in the determination of strength and stability, ductility and robustness, i.e., the overall behaviour of timber structures. In particular, connections subjected to static loads are to be investigated in terms of strength and stiffness, whereas the ones designed to withstand cyclic (e.g., seismic) loads need also the definition of their complete hysteretic response.

Abstract:
It is common practice in the analysis of structural frames, to either assume that the joints are pinned or rigid. In fact the real behaviour of a joint is neither pinned nor rigid, and lies somewhere between the pinned and rigid assumption. This is referred to as the semi-rigid behaviour. Semi-rigidity not only refers to the rotational behaviour of the joint as commonly studied, but also in axial and shear actions. The moment distribution between pinned and rigid analysis differs substantially and therefore a more accurate method of modelling the semi-rigid joint is necessary to predict the ov

Abstract:
<p>Joints are critical parts of timber structures, transmitting static and dynamic forces between structural members. The ultimate behavior of a loaded building depends strongly on the structural configuration and the capacity of the joints. The collapse of a whole building or less extensive accidents that may occur is usually starting as a local failure inside or in the vicinity of a joint. Such serious failures have recently occurred in our Nordic countries. Especially the collapse of two large glued laminated timber structures clearly indicates the need of an improved joint design.

Abstract:
In this Thesis, an intervention system applicable to existing reinforced concrete (RC) framed buildings is presented. The main purpose of the intervention is to improve the seismic behaviour of such buildings using cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels without modifying the original concrete structural system. The intervention proposed can also be implemented to reduce the energy consumption of buildings. Furthermore, the intervention can be partially prefabricated in order to speed up execution and reducing labour costs. The need to intervene on existing concrete buildings to improve their

Cette thèse présente une étude expérimentale et numérique sur les aptitudes en service en ce qui concerne le comportement vibratoire de planchers réalisés en bois d’ingénierie sans colle (AFEWP), à savoir les poutres en bois lamellé sans adhésif (AFLB) et les panneaux en bois lamellé-croisé sans adhésif (AFCLT), assemblés par des tourillons en bois densifié (CWD). Les analyses modales expérimentales ont été réalisées en conditions libres-libre à l'aide d'un marteau instrumenté. Les fréquences naturelles, les modes propres et les coefficients d'amortissement ont été évalués expérimentalement. D

Abstract:
Apesar da versatilidade da madeira, seu emprego fica, às vezes, dificultado por não serem totalmente conhecidas as suas propriedades e seu desempenho em diferentes condições de serviço. Neste trabalho, procura-se contribuir para um melhor aproveitamento das espécies tropicais alternativas, em especial no emprego para produção de elementos estruturais de madeira laminada colada, uma vez que o Brasil possui grande potencial dessas espécies, mas ainda sub-utilizadas. Neste contexto, realiza-se a determinação das propriedades físicas, de resistência e de rigidez de algumas espécies e determinam-se
