For demanding applications with increased requirements in terms of load-carrying capacity and long spans, the HighTech Timber Beam® (HTB) – a hybrid composite beam made of glulam and high-performance materials – was developed at the Bauhaus Universi...
The development of wide-span structures occurs high reaction forces at the bearings. The load-bearing capacity is strongly limited, because of the low compression strength and stiffness of wood perpendicular to the grain. One common possibility of streng...
Wood in Europe, especially in Germany, is a good available row material. It has a high load capacity and stiffness in comparison to the low death weight. Timber is traditionally used for bending beams and columns with low processing. Since it is a natura...
This Paper discusses several researches into the load bearing behavior of local load introduction areas under transverse compression load that are reinforced by polymer concrete (PC) grouting. The objective of all these studies was the characterization of the load bearing behavior in detail, in order to develop application rules for the practical...
