In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurden die Anwendungsmöglichkeiten von Biegeträgern aus Brettsperrholz bei Beanspruchung in Plattenebene untersucht. Mit Hilfe numerischer und analytischer Methoden wurden die für die Bemessung von Brettsperrholzträgern erforderlichen Ansätze für den Nachweis der Biege- und der Schubtragfähigkeit sowie zur Berechnung der Verformungen entwickelt und hergeleitet.
Timber-Concrete Composite bridges have the potential to achieve significant levels of structural efficiency through the synergistic use of Engineering Wood Products (EWPs) and reinforced concrete. With the implementation of post-tensioned under-deck tendons, the range of application of TCC bridges can be extended to medium spans. However, little work has been done to date to study the dynamic response of these newly proposed bridges. In this paper, a set of FE models representing 60-m span structures are analysed to gain understanding on the dynamic response of post-tensioned under-deck TCC bridges. Two models with Euler and Timoshenko beam idealizations are considered in order to evaluate the significance of shear deformations on deflection, structural stresses and connector shear forces. Besides, an analytical model is formulated and compared against the numerical predictions. The results show that timber shear deformations should be considered in the design of post-tensioned under-deck TCC bridges. The dynamic characteristics of the bridge models were studied. The dynamic amplification caused by a moving point load on key response parameters such as deflection, stresses and connector shear forces is discussed. Also, a sensitivity study on the speed of moving load is conducted to investigate its influence on the bridge dynamic response.
The 2009 edition of CSA Standard O86, Engineering Design in Wood (CSA 2009), provides an equation for determining the deflection of shear walls. It is important to note that this equation only works for a single-storey shear wall with load applied at the top of the wall. While the equation captures the shear and flexural deformations of the shear wall, it does not account for moment at the top of the wall and the cumulative effect due to rotation at the bottom of the wall, which would be expected in a multi-storey structure.
In this fact sheet, a mechanics-based method for calculating deflection of a multi-storey wood-based shear wall is presented.
