Engineering Design: Timber Structures
5.0 ECTS creditsThe course deals with the preconditions for dimensioning such as partial coefficient method, calculation of cumulative loads, dimensioning and design principles, and dimensioning in accordance with current norms and standards for the material timber.
The course comprises the following components:
- design calculation norms
- load and calculation of cumulative loads
- the properties of timber
- bending moment capacity
- deformation
- transverse force capacity
- strain and stress capacity
- dimensioning for fire resistance
- nail joint
- bolted joint
Instruction is in the form of lectures, calculation workshops, and field trips.
