How will we plan and build in 25 years and how will this process be regulated?

Constraints and regulations related to new buildings are constantly evolving and all these changes, in our ways of thinking and producing, will have an impact on standards. For the policy field, contractual relationships, risk-allocation models and procedu ...

Structural Characterization of Traditional Moment-Resisting Timber Joinery

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Jingxian Ye, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting

This paper investigates the structural performance of traditional moment-resisting interlocking timber joints for modern building construction. Gradually improved over generations, traditional Japanese and Chinese interlocking connections have proven struc ...

Future challenges and need for research in timber engineering

Julien Gamerro

Automation is increasingly present in the construction industry, whether at the design, manufacturing or assembly stage. Thanks to new technologies, such as robotics, new ways of designing structural elements can be imagined and implemented. Complex method ...

Rotational mechanical behaviour of wood-wood connections with application to double-layered folded timber-plate structure

Yves Weinand, Julien Gamerro, Christopher Werner Matthias Robeller

This paper is focused on the structural design of an innovative wood-wood connection designed for a full-scale double-layered timber folded-plate structure: the new Vidy theatre pavilion (Lausanne, Switzerland). Investigations into the potential of these n ...

Fiber-based model for earthquake-induced collapse simulation of steel frame buildings

Dimitrios Lignos

Earthquake-induced collapse risk assessment of steel frame buildings requires the use of simulation models that can realistically replicate dynamic instability of frame buildings. Such models for steel columns should consider the coupling between the axial ...

Experimental investigation of friction stresses between adjacent panels made of Oriented Strand Board (OSB) and between OSB panels and glued laminated timber (GLT) frame members

Katrin Beyer, René Steiger, Stella Nerbano

The paper presents experimental investigations of friction properties (a) between adjacent sheathing panels made of Oriented Strand Board (OSB) and (b) between OSB panels and glued laminated timber (GLT) frame members as they occur, for example, between pa ...

Development of a Spring Model for the Structural Analysis of a Double-Layered Timber Plate Structure with Through-Tenon Joints

Yves Weinand, Anh Chi Nguyen

Timber plate structures with integral mechanical attachments have been successfully built in the last decades. Previous research has highlighted the influence of these connections in the global behavior of the structures. Double-layered plate shells are on ...

Behaviour of stiffened extended shear tab connections under gravity induced shear force

Dimitrios Lignos

Stiffened extended shear tab connections (either in full-depth or partial-depth configurations) are widely used to connect simply supported beams to the web of supporting girders or columns. Full-scale laboratory tests of stiffened extended shear tab conne ...

Composite beam effects and implications to seismic design provisions

Dimitrios Lignos, Hammad El Jisr

Previous studies have investigated the slab effects on the cyclic behavior of composite beams in moment-resisting frames. Of interest in this paper, is the slab contribution to the flexural strength and effective stiffness of the beam. The former influence ...
