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

(2014) Educational innovation in the architectural design of timber structures: an experience at the digital fabrication laboratory of Seville University. 7th International Conference of Education, Research and Innovation (ICERI), Sevilla, Spain.

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 constitutive models used for wood and timber have been formulated in different scales. The term clear wood corresponds to the macroscopic scale, where the orthotropic elastic model is commonly used. This model, which is typically applied to local

Abstract Experimental results of eight short-term tests of the HSB® (Habitat System Beton) timber–concrete connection system are presented. The specimens were compressive double shear tested according to EN 26891:1991, placing two connectors per shear plane. The ultimate shear force and

Abstract The fracture toughness of thermally modified beech (Fagus sylvatica L) and ash (Fraxinus excelsior L) wood under Mode I loading was quantified using Compact Tension (CT) specimens, loaded under steady-state crack propagation conditions. The influence of three heat-treatment levels

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
