 Abstract

In this project, a quality investigation is done on the influence of different parameters on the growth of homegrown Japanese larch. These parameters are expressed in a Site index, which is determined for some specimen that are analysed for density and strength characteristics (Chapter 2). An attempt is made to find a relation between this Site index and the strength of the specimen. The result of this analysis is projected on a viewing platform that was designed for the CONIFERS project. This platform is analysed in a model for different situations that might occur, based on low stiffness values of one or more elements (Chapter 3). Finally, the block shear joint that was used and designed for this viewing platform is tested for moment capacity (Chapter 4). The desrcibed connection system for round wood is patented. A copy is given in Appendix 9. All appendices are shown in the part “Appendices” of this report. In this part “Analysis”, only the “List Of Terms” and “Literature“ are given.
