Integrally attached timber folded surface structures

Andrea Stitic

In structural engineering, folded surface structures present one of the concepts for construction of self supporting column free systems. They utilize structural benefits of folding to achieve material saving and improve structural efficiency. The folding ...

Relief of edge effects in bi-adhesive composite joints

Seyed Abdolmajid Yousefsani

Three-dimensional thermo-mechanical stress analysis of composite joints with bi-adhesive bonding is presented using the full layerwise theory. Based on three-dimensional elasticity theory, sets of fully coupled governing differential equations are derived ...

Structural performance of complex core systems for FRP-balsa composite sandwich bridge decks

Michael Osei-Antwi

Based on current fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite construction principles, FRP decks fall into two categories: pultruded decks and sandwich decks. Sandwich decks comprise face sheets and either honeycombs or foams reinforced with internal FRP webs ...

Friction welding of wood – A fast, adhesive-free bonding technology for prefabricated elements in timber construction

Benjamin Hahn

Up to now chemical adhesives based on polyurethane are used for the assembling of timber planks to large-scale structural elements, in particular cross-laminated timber panels (CLT), which opened new possibilities for architects and engineers in timber con ...

Experimental and numerical study on structural behavior of a single timber textile module

Yves Weinand, Laurent Humbert, Markus Hudert, Meisam Sistaninia

The present work investigates an innovative class of timber structure with potential applications in roofing, facade and bridge construction, called Timberfabric. The development of Timberfabric structures originates from the approach of harnessing the str ...

Performance limits of brick masonry spandrels

Katrin Beyer

Spandrel elements in unreinforced brick masonry buildings with timber floors consist of a masonry spandrel supported by either a timber lintel or a masonry arch. When subjected to seismic loading, the force-deformation relationship of such spandrel element ...

Mixed-Mode Static and Fatigue Failure Criteria for Adhesively-Bonded FRP Joints

Moslem Shahverdi

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are increasingly used in many load-bearing structures. Joints are the most critical structural elements as they often become the weak links in engineering structures. Bonding and bolting are two of the main joini ...
