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...

The use of high strength steel has increased in the last few years. Although the prices of steel increase with increasing yield strength, the use of high strength steel may give economical gains in terms of less material use or new applications. The main goal of this project is to determine whether current design rules for the load-carrying...

In the last few years the timber gridshell has gained popularity. Recently two gridshells were constructed: the Weald and Downland gridshell in 2002 and the Savill Garden gridshell in 2006. These structures are examples from which the benefits of timber gridshells become apparent. A gridshell can display elegance and style, with its slender ribs...

The current way of building in The Netherlands has several consequences that have an impact on nature and determine the indoor climate of a house. To improve the way of building and the indoor climate, a cooperative association ‘Q’ was set up to realise this goal. The association ‘Q’ has invented a unique, innovative, and intelligent building...

In recent years, various types of plate-like timber materials have been introduced to the building industry, offering a wide range of new possibilities. Due to a lack of knowledge on these possibilities, in the Netherlands, the material is not used as often as could be expected. To explore the boundaries of timber engineering, in this thesis, it...

In the Netherlands, timber is rarely used as primary material in medium rise buildings. The production of these timber buildings is very small compared to the total medium rise production. Because of this, timber as a construction method is an uncommon choice for designers and contractors to make. This results in a slow growing experience with...

During this MSc thesis it has been carried out an extensive literature review on fire safety engineering, on timber behaviour on fire and on fire safety regulations in different countries. A preliminary design for a high rise cross laminated timber building (CLT) has been carried out in order to obtain a minimum thickness of the structural...

Today, timber structures are receiving attention more and more. Because of the increasing interest in sustainable construction as well as for other reasons, building industry in Europe is (re)-discovering multi-storey timber structures for construction of mid-rise buildings. In this master’s thesis, an analytical calculation method and modelling...

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.

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....

Crielaard, R. (author)
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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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,...
