In timber research, a main objective is the development and promotion of innovative and efficient timber structures. Therefore a pilot building, named ETH House of Natural Resources, has been designed, which uses two innovative structural systems, a post...
To estimate the loss of tendon force for a post-tensioned timber connection a series of tests are being conducted at the ETH in Zurich. Several post-tensioned specimens are being observed in different climate conditions. One set of specimens is in a clim...
This paper covers different aspects of the structural performance of a post-tensioned timber frame in order to create a global picture of the system being introduced to the market. A theoretical background describes the main principles on which the structural response relies on, using analytical models and experimental results...
