Aim: The aim of the course is to give both a background for the statical calculations of wood structures including the influence from the anisotropic material and the natural imperfections in wood, and knowledge and skills for the design of elementary construction elements and connections in relation to practice (standards).

|
Contents: Short description of the mechanical properties of wood including strength, stiffness, influence of moisture, rot, impregnation and fire. The following construction materials including the structural models are described: timber, glued laminated timber, plywood and other wood-based boards. Both mechanical and glued connections are described and for the fasteners the following types are included: bolts, nails, screws and other more special types. Calculation of strength and deformation of construction elements and wood structures including build up beams and columns and stressed-skin elements. Stability problems including buckling of flange and webs and lateral buckling. Calculation of groups of fasteners in joints. Formulation of structural models.
