Timber StructuresLaajuus (3 cr)

Code: RKM2H2

Objective

Competence in structural engineering
Students know the materials and products used for various load-bearing timber structures, and they know how the special properties of wood affect the strength of timber structures. Students are able to determine the design values of the mechanical properties of materials, used in structural calculations, and they know the important regulations on timber structures. Students are familiar with common timber joints, and they know how to design simple mechanically built joints.

Competence in the construction process
Students are familiar with common timber frame structures, structural members and their joint and support mechanisms. Students understand the principles of bracing timber frames, their behaviour and the importance of temporary support and stability during construction.

Content

- Properties and design strengths of materials
- Design and construction drawings of simple timber structures
- Timber element systems
- Timber structures and their impact on construction work
- Management of timber construction on site (with special attention paid to stability)
- Laboratory work

Qualifications

Structural Mechanics. Basics of Structural Design.
