Supervisor:

Department of Steel and Timber Structures

Synopsis:

The course introduces students to the static and structural design of timber structures in civil engineering. Material properties, the design rules according to European standards and principles of good structural design are presented within the course.

Requirements:

Official prerequisities are not given. For the successful completion of the course basic general knowledge of statics and theoretical mechanics is necessary.

Syllabus of lectures:

1. Introduction, history of timber structures, properties

2. Limit states - principles, load, basic load case

3. Connections - principles, types, calculation, examples

4. Glued laminated wood - production, properties of laminated timber beams

5. Other beams made of laminated timber - single tapered, double tapered, curved beam

6. Timber rigid frames - principles, types, calculation

7. Timber arches - principles calculation, details, transportation and installation

8. Lattice girders - principles, types, structural design

9. Frame and panel systems

10. Timber footbridges and bridges - principles, loads, details

11. Durability of timber building constructions

12. Revision lecture for the exam or the pre-exam

Syllabus of tutorials:

1. Design of the nailed lattice girder tension member

2. Resistance of a timber column loaded by a centric axial force

3. Design of the floor timber beam according to both ULS and SLS

4. Check of a floor bearing structure

5. Design of a timber rafter as a part of a queen post roof structure

Study Objective:

The aim of the study is to learn the basic principles of a timber structures design and their use in civil engineering.
