“EQUIPAMIENTO PÚBLICO: IMPULSO VERDE” at the Mass Timber Seminar – Meeting with the world of timber. Valencia from 2-4 October.

The Impulso Verde Building in Lugo will be present at the Mass Timber Seminar 2022, organised by Rothoblaas and based in Valencia from 2-4 October. It will be two days dedicated to timber construction professionals with a full program of

“A green building should aspire to be like a tree, to improve the environment in which it is implanted”. Interview with Antonio José Lara in CUPA Pizarras

The Impulso Verde building in Lugo won the CUPA Pizarras ‘Best of the Best’ competition for the best project of 2021 with natural slate. Antonio José Lara Bocanegra, architect and researcher at the Polytechnic University of Madrid, reveals the secrets of

Lara-Bocanegra, A.J. (2022) Elastic timber gridshells. From material to construction (PhD Thesis).

Author: Lara-Bocanegra, A.J. Supervisor: Guaita Fernández, M. & Arriaga Martitegui, F. University: Higher Tech. School of Architecture of Madrid (ETSAM) | Tech. University of Madrid (UPM) https://www.researchgate.net Abstract Elastic timber gridshells are a highly efficient and architecturally expressive structural solution

Abstract In timber structures, knowledge of the splitting capacity of beams loaded perpendicular to the grain by dowel-type connections is of primordial importance since brittle failure can occur. In the present work, single- and double-dowel-type connections following different loaded edged

Abstract Elastic timber gridshells are lightweight structures whose stiffness is highly dependent on multiple factors, such as boundary conditions and the semi-rigidity and eccentricity of the joints. Their structural analysis requires calibrated numerical models that incorporate all aspects influencing stiffness.

Cross-laminated CLT course. Feb 17th- Mar 18th 2022

Are you interested in construction with cross-laminated timber and construction with half-height timber? The CLT cross-laminated timber course, promoted by the Construction with Wood Research Group of the Polytechnic University of Madrid and the Gómez-Pintado Foundation, will start soon. There
