(2021) El proyecto Life Lugo + Biodinámico como experiencia de educación Ecosocial. Congreso Internacional SIPS 2021, Educación Ambiental y Cultura de la Sostenibilidad: construyendo la transición ecológica, Lugo, España.

Abstract In 2014 the Lugo City Council submitted the application for the LIFE project Lugo + Biodynamic “planning of a multi-ecological neighbourhood as a model of urban resilience”, within the framework of the Climate Action sub-programme in the line of

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.

Abstract Eucalyptus globulus L. is a hardwood species with high mechanical properties and great potential for engineered timber products. In the development of glued laminated products using high density wood species such as eucalyptus, bonded joints (e.g. fingerjoints) could be

Abstract This work addresses the determination of the cohesive laws in Mode I and tangential-longitudinal (TL) propagation system of Fagus Sylvatica L. This species is one of the ever-growing and most widely used hardwood species in Europe for engineered timber

GridaDIGtion 2021-2024

The objective of the present project is to develop a new construction system for timber gridshells that minimizes the cost of material, labour and auxiliary resources and that is competitive for application in standard works. For this, it is proposed to integrate the active bending in the forming process with the use of wood-wood joints made by CNC
