The advantages of the two different building construction materials, timber and concrete, can be used effectively in adhesive-bonded timber-concrete composite constructions. The long-term behavior was investigated experimentally on small-scale...
This paper discusses the impact of the natural frequency of multi-storey timber structures, focusing on force-based seismic design. Simplified approaches to determine the frequency of light-frame and cross-laminated timber structures are investigated. How stiffness parameters for simple two-dimensional analysis models can be derived from the different contributions of deformation...
Modern joinery machines are able to produce precise and complex wood-to-wood connections on a high prefabrication level. For this work, multiple tenon joints were tested to assess the load-bearing capacity and deformation characteristics. Four different...
The long-term behavior of adhesive-bonded timber-concrete composites is influenced by climatic changes in temperature and relative humidity because of the different properties of wood, concrete and adhesive. Threedimensional material models, which take into account the hygrothermal and time-dependent behavior, were developed...
This paper deals with aspects of force- and displacement-based design of multistorey cross-laminated timber (CLT) structures. A method to determine the behavior factors for timber structures based on nonlinear static analyses will be discussed. Different...
