Macro Modeling Technique for Integrally-Attached Timber Plates: Sensitivity Analysis

Yves Weinand, Aryan Rezaei Rad, Henry V. Burton

Using the Integral Mechanical Attachment (IMA) technique, a new macroscopic model has recently been introduced to simulate the structural behavior of segmented timber plates. The macro model is based on employing only beam and spring elements, which aims t ...

Though flexible diaphragms play a role in the seismic behaviour of unreinforced masonry buildings, the effect of the connections between floors and walls is rarely discussed or explicitly modelled when simulating the response of such buildings. These flexi ...

Joinery Solver for Whole Timber Structures

Yves Weinand, Petras Vestartas

This paper presents a digital joinery generation method for whole-timber structures using wood-wood connections. The research is based on a collaboration with a local timber company located in a mountain area [1]. In this context, there is a need to explor ...

Development of Novel Standardized Structural Timber Elements Using Wood-Wood Connections

Julien Gamerro

Traditional wood-wood connections, widely used in the past, have been progressively replaced by steel fasteners and bonding processes in modern timber constructions. However, the emergence of digital fabrication and innovative engineered timber products ha ...

Characterization of mortar-timber and timber-timber cyclic friction in timber floor connections of masonry buildings

Katrin Beyer, João Saraiva Esteves Pacheco de Almeida

The seismic performance of buildings depends critically on the stiffness and strength of storey diaphragms. Whilst for modern reinforced concrete or steel structures the connection between floors and lateral resisting members is often assumed as monolithic ...

Experimental investigation of mesoscale variability of clear spruce mechanical properties in the radial direction

Thomas Keller, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Alireza Farajzadeh Moshtaghin, Steffen Franke

The aim of this work is the investigation of mesoscale/local variability in mechanical properties of clear timber in the radial direction. Clear Norway spruce wood, Picea abies, was used for cutting specimens of different lengths with a small cross-section ...

Experimental investigations on the load-carrying capacity of digitally produced wood-wood connections

Yves Weinand, Julien Gamerro, Jean-François Bocquet

The rise of digital fabrication has increased the use of wood-wood connections inspired by traditional carpentry in modern timber constructions. With recent developments on standard construction systems, the mechanical behavior of such joints for in-plane ...

Robotic Insertion of Timber Joints using Visual Detection of Fiducial Markers

Yves Weinand, Nicolas Henry Pierre Louis Rogeau, Victor Tiberghien, Pierre Latteur

Timber building industry is facing a major transformation with digitalization and automation being more broadly adopted. Prefabricated timber frame structures can be mass-produced on large robotic assembly lines, increasing the productivity and competitive ...

Modelling Workflow for Segmented Timber Shells using Wood-wood Connections.

Yves Weinand, Julien Gamerro, Petras Vestartas, Nicolas Henry Pierre Louis Rogeau

This paper presents a modelling method based on planarization for double-curved segmented timber shell made from quad polygons and assembled by wood-wood connections. The inspiration is taken from timber dome structures, where solid timber walls were built ...
