Abstract Assessing wood fracture behavior is essential in the design of structural timber elements and connections. This is particularly the case for connections with the possibility of brittle splitting failure. The numerical cohesive zone models that are used to simulate
Abstract Elastic timber gridshells are built by bending small cross-section, long and good quality timber laths on site to the desired shape. This procedure enables double curvature structures of great aesthetic appearance and high structural efficiency. Despite their interest, few
Abstract Timber elastic gridshells represent a promising solution for medium and long span lightweight roofs featuring free or modular geometries. This technique enables the construction of large simple or double curved shells by bending standard timber elements on site, incorporating
Abstract En este trabajo se presenta una visión general de los objetivos y acciones planteados en el proyecto Life Lugo+Biodinámico. El foco de atención se centra en aquellas acciones destinadas a desarrollar productos estructurales de madera con especies forestales gallegas

Title: Buckling Analysis of Cylindrical Elastically Bent Timber Gridshells Author: Reindl, J-O. Supervisor: Dietsch, P. & Lara-Bocanegra, AJ. University: Technical University of Munich, Munich, Germany
Abstract Timber lattice shells are multi-layered structures of great interest for medium and long span lightweight solutions in structural and aesthetic terms. They are constructed by bending initially straight laths. This curving process can lead to high initial stresses in
Abstract The prediction of the fracture behaviour through reliable and practical criteria in the design of structural timber elements and connections has become of great importance and demands a proper fracture characterization of the material. Eucalyptus globulus Labill is envisioned
Abstract A research project (BIA2015-64491-P) has been carried out aiming to develop high performance structural applications on Eucalyptus globulus L., namely addressing drying processes and the development of laminated products [1]. In this work, it is proposed to address the
Abstract This paper presents a new elastic timber gridshell that has been built to cover a wood store facility at the Timber Engineering Laboratory of the University of Santiago de Compostela. It is the first permanent elastic timber gridshell built
