Planning of Massive Timber Structures (3cr)

Objective

Competence in structural engineering
Students are able to dimension key log and CLT structures in terms of ultimate and serviceability limits. Students understand the behavior of log and CLT structures in fire situations.

Content

- dimensioning of log beams at the ultimate limit state and at the service limit state
- effect of notches and supporting area in timber structures
- dimensioning of CLT slabs, beams, and wall at the ultimate limit state and at the service limit state
- behaviour of massive timber structures in case of fire
