Abstract En este trabajo se presentan las investigaciones llevadas a cabo para el desarrollo de un primer prototipo de lámina reticular postconformada que será construida en el Campus de Lugo, de la Universidad de Santiago de Compostela. La geometría sigue
Abstract The present research focus on the performance of finger-joints for the development of novel engineered laminated products made of Eucalyptus globulus using 1C-PUR adhesive type I suitable for outdoor use, taking the advantages of the high mechanical properties and
Abstract The aim of this study is to obtain the elastic constants of Eucalyptus globulus Labill required for any numerical model. Two methods were used for this: the propagation of ultrasound waves and mechanical compression tests. The same test specimens
Abstract A new way of using resin test models for teaching the structural behaviour of common building elements is presented. It is proposed that a combination of several tools be used. By recording experimental tests with high definition cameras and
Abstract This paper presents an educational experience developed in the course entitled “Architectural Design and Digital Fabrication of Timber Structures”, which was offered to students of the Higher Technical School of Architecture – University of Sevilla during the 2012-2013 academic
Abstract After a relative decline during Modernism, the use of large-scale timber structures is becoming a growing trend at the beginning of the 21st Century. Different vectors converge to make this happen. The most relevant of these vectors being the
Abstract The term clear wood corresponds to the macroscopic scale, where the orthotropic elastic model is commonly used. This model is defined by a compliance matrix composed of nine parameters, the elongations and angular distortions of which are uncoupled. The
Abstract In this work, the identifiability of orthotropic stiffness components of clear wood from a single off-axis compression test was investigated. The material characterisation strategy was based on anisotropic elasticity. Moreover, it requires 3D full-field measurements which can be provided
Abstract The constitutive models used for wood and timber have been formulated in different scales. The term clear wood corresponds with the macroscopic scale, where the orthotropic elastic model is commonly used. That model, typically applied to local modeling (e.g.
Abstract In 1850, the Bessemer converters were able to produce mass-production inexpensive steel. This technical advance was the key point that leaded to a suddenly extended use of steel in the bridge engineering field. Consequently, timber was pushed into the
