Mol, Pim (author)
This thesis report provides an analysis of the structural behavior of façades made of CLT panels with openings. These openings will have a significant influence on the transfer of forces in the panels, as well as the stiffness of the façade. The connections required to transfer the forces between the panels are designed. Deformations of the...

Given the desire to construct more structures using sustainable building materials, demand for wood and other bio-based building materials has risen dramatically over the decade. While timber itself is a carbon-neutral material and can sometimes even be carbon-negative, reusing wooden structural members made that have been in service for several...

This thesis comprises of vertical deformation differences in high-rise structures where a concrete stability core is combined with a timber frame. The timber frame consists out of prefab timber modules which derive all lateral stability from the concrete core. Due to contrasting elastic, hygroexpansion and viscoelastic properties there is a...

Low-frequency sound transmission in a cross-laminated timber apartment building can result in annoyance, even if the acoustic requirements of the building code are fulfilled. Cross-laminated timber is an upcoming material in the building industry. But there are also problems arising when building with this relatively new material. CLT is a...

Conventional building methods are still based on the reinforced concrete industry. In the last decades, timber has become more popular because it could be a more sustainable alternative. However, pure timber is not always an option, especially when slender design is required by the client. Because of its low elastic modulus, deflections often...

The isostatic slab was developed by Pier Nervi and his colleague Aldo Arcangeli to create an elegant and easy to produce floor system, with efficient use of material. These slabs are designed with ribs aligned to the principal bending stress lines that support a flat deck. Concrete isostatic slabs are no longer constructed due to their expensive...

The application of vertical forests in the building industry is a popular development with promising advantages regarding sustainability. However, placing trees along a façade gives additional loads which often results in extra material use. This is undesired concerning building design, costs, and the environment. To mitigate these adverse...

Highway traffic bridges have been subjected to increasing loads over the past decades. Some of the movable bridge leafs in these highway bridges were constructed in the 1960s and they are now close to the end of their intended life span. These bridge leafs were typically designed and executed with hardwood deck boards. In the initial design...

Sustainability is an important aspect in the construction industry nowadays and therefore timber is interesting to use as it is considered a sustainable building material. With the development of mass timber engineered products such as glued and cross laminated timber, there are more and more possibilities to use timber as a structural element,...

Differential vertical shortening (DVS) is the relative vertical shortening between two adjacent vertical load bearing elements. DVS originates because axial loading conditions on- and the design of adjacent vertical load bearing elements are different. Due to these differences, the reaction of the adjacent vertical structural elements expressed...

Multi-storey timber buildings are becoming internationally more and more common. The thriving forces behind this trend involve the sustainable aspects of the material and the rapid development of innovative engineered timber elements. An example of an engineered timber element are crosslaminated timber (CLT) panels. CLT panels consist of cross...

The main focus of this research was testing of dowel-type connections using slotted-in steel plates in laminated bamboo loaded parallel-to-grain. Since laminated bamboo is a relatively new material, a proper design standard and design formulas have not yet been established. Strength testing of this material is currently being done by a number of...

Green roofs, also known as vegetation roofs, are becoming very popular for residents of houses or apartments and for good reasons. Vegetation on rooftops have many benefits on global and local level. Expectations show that the climate change will lead to heavier storms and causes the sewers in Rotterdam to overflow. Hence, the municipality of...

Inspired by the world's first timber tower for a multi-megawatt turbine, an investigation has been carried whether or not this design would be suited for Dutch wind conditions as well. Demands from design codes have been summarized and the frequency behaviour of these timber towers has been studied. Apart from the original softwood Cross...

Cross-laminated timber, or CLT, is currently receiving attention for its potential use in tall building structures. Timber being a combustible material, one of the main challenges for the construction of these buildings is the potential fire risk that results from its use in the structure. For tall buildings, there is an increased severity of...

Indoor climate and human comfort is attaining increasing interest in large urbanized areas. While for the user this is mainly as a result of increasing operational costs associated with the devices for heating and cooling, the bigger concern for environmentally conscious engineers and designers lies in reducing the emission of green house gases....

For the thesis the mortise and tenon joint between the rear post and cross beam in a wooden mitre gate is researched. The joint is an important part of timber lock gates. The force distribution inside the joint and the strength of a tenonned beam are two main focus points.
