Competence Goal

The students can describe the basic characteristics of the construction materials steel and timber. They can analyze and evaluate the load carrying effects of steel and timber structures under consideration of the specific properties of both building materials and their reaction towards environmental conditions. The students can apply material specific design to common structural elements and connections. They are able to apply design for stability.

Content

In the Basics in Timber Structures, focus is given to the connection and application of the knowledge obtained in the basic courses in structural analysis and mechanics with the normative design under consideration of the special characteristics of timber as a construction material.

  • basics: timber in construction, wood properties wood as building material, timber products, limit state design
  • design of structural elements: tension and compression, bending, shear and torsion, columns and buckling lengths, lateral torsional buckling and  bracing systems
  • connections: mechanical connections, laterally loaded fasteners (bolts and dowels), axially loaded fasteners (screws), group effects, carpentry connections, glued joints
  • construction: tension perpendicular to the grain, durability and protection, cross-laminated timber, fire protection
