Simplified calculation model for interconnected timber elements using wood-wood connections

Julien Gamerro

Metal fasteners and adhesive bonding are the main assembly methods in modern timber constructions. However, traditional wood-wood connections can be used effectively as well, thanks to increasing automation of the construction industry (CNC, robotics, etc. ...

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 ...

Ductility of adhesively bonded timber joints

Thomas Keller, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Myrsini Angelidi

In the field of timber engineering, adhesive bonding remains a promising, though poorly developed, joining technique that may increase the structural stiffness and capacity of timber joints and structures. Selecting ductile adhesives may further allow to c ...

Stochastic analysis of clear timber as a structural material

Alireza Farajzadeh Moshtaghin

Wood/timber has been widely used for house and bridge construction. It is a widely available natural material that necessitates low energy for the production, following simple processes. The environmentally friendliness, together with the low cost of raw m ...

Back-Contacted Silicon Heterojunction Solar Cells

Andrea Tomasi

EPFL2016

Integral attachment, the joining of parts through their form rather than additional connectors or adhesives, is a common technique in many industry sectors. Following a renaissance of integral joints for timber frame structures, recent research investigate ...

Integral Mechanical Attachment for Timber Folded Plate Structures

Christopher Werner Matthias Robeller

Timber folded plate Structures combine the advantages of timber as a construction material, such as its carbon-dioxide storage, low energy production and favorable weight-to-strength ratio, with the structural efficiency and elegance of folded surface stru ...
