Aim of the lecture is the knowledge transfer of material-specific and standardization-specific fundamentals for the structural design and dimensioning of timber structures.

The lecture comprises the following topics:

• fundamentals of mechancis of market-relevenat wood products (1D, 2D)
• discussion of the mechanical behavior of connection-systems
• presentation of relevant building elements as the basis for the design of timber structures
• structural design and dimensioning according to the current standards with the focus of completeness (servicability limit, ultimate limit, fire)
• special topics (durability, errection and assembling)

In a design project, the students are going to critically analyse and evaluate existing timber structures with the focus of the completeness of the structural design and dimensioning of specific structural elements and connections. This term (SS 2015) you have for the first time the opportunity to participate in the project work of Timber Engineering in combination with Steel constructions UE (213.010). Further information are given in the first lecture of Timber engineering on Tue, 03.03.2015 - 08:30 c.t. (HS7).

Exercises: written (design project) and oral (presentation of design project)

Lecture: oral examination
