Abstract

Cross-laminated timber (CLT) construction is increasingly being used for residential, commercial and public sector buildings. Offering a significant strength to weight ratio, improved installation speeds, reduced on-site waste and a high standard of airtightness, CLT also has the advantage of being a renewable resource.Highly illustrated with photographs and technical drawings, this book demonstrates the versatility of CLT construction as an engineered timber solution, sometimes also used in conjunction with glued laminated timber beams. It provides clear and helpful recommendations to assist architects, engineers and their clients who are increasingly looking for sustainable, efficient structural solutions. There are four key sections: 1. An introduction to CLT, showcasing its uses for architects, building designers and their clients / 2. Design principles, including studies of several exemplar buildings / 3. CLT product performance, inlcluding; structural design, connections, fire, thermal, and acoustic performance, sustainability and appearance / 4. 13 case studies representing a variety of building types.Many TRADA member companies at the forefront of CLT building design in the UK have helped with the development of this landmark book including: Waugh Thistleton, Arup, Ramboll, Eurban, B&K Structures, KLH UK Ltd, Stora Enso, Hugh Strange Architects, Paddy Hislop and Exova BM TRADA.

Abstract

Cross-laminated timber (CLT) has long been heralded as a wonder material, with a light environmental footprint, high strength, quick installation times and reduced waste - so why isn't everyone using it? Delving into the key considerations including fire safety, cost and value, visual aspects, planning, feasibility and engineering, this book is an essential companion to designing and delivering exemplar CLT buildings. Abundantly illustrated with over 130 colour images and in-depth case studies from around the world, it will help the entire project team - whether design team, constructor or clients - to better understand and build using a truly modern method of construction.

Abstract

Discovering the unused potential of wood Holz wird meist als "traditioneller" Werkstoff wahrgenommen. Seine Materialeigenschaften ermöglichen längst jedoch die Gestaltung von Freiformen und hochkomplexen Strukturen. Das ursprünglich von Julius Natterer gegründete Holzlabor der ETH Lausanne erprobt heute unter der Leitung von Professor Wienand mit digitalen Berechnungs- und computergestützten Bearbeitungsmethoden die Herstellung von Origami-Strukturen, Rippenschalen, Gewebestrukturen und gekrümmten Paneelen.Diese Forschungsergebnisse werden in Prototypen erprobt, die so die Anwendungsmöglichkeiten für großmaßstäbliche Holzbauten anschaulich machen. Durch dieses Ausloten bislang ungenutzter Potenziale des Baustoffs Holz bietet dieses Buch einen spannenden und inspirierenden Ausblick auf eine neue Generation von Holzbauten.

Abstract

Das neue Bauen mit Holz hat vielfältige Gründe und Vorteile gegenüber konventionellen Bauweisen: Holz ist ein nachwachsender Baustoff und hilft als CO2-Senke beim Klimaschutz, zugleich ist er dank moderner Berechnungs- und Fertigungsverfahren für zahlreiche Bauaufgaben einsetzbar. Holz weist hervorragende konstruktive wie raumklimatische Eigenschaften auf und lässt sich problemlos mit sämtlichen anderen, gängigen Baumaterialien kombinieren. Dieses Fachbuch gibt anhand von 24 internationalen Projekten einen Überblick über die derzeit realisierte Vielfalt an Möglichkeiten im modernen Holzbau. Die Beiträge dokumentieren in Texten, Bildern und Plänen sowohl die architektonischen als auch die konstruktiven Qualitäten zeitgemäßer Holzbauten, von der Entwurfsplanung über das Tragwerk bis ins Detail. Die vielfältigen Einsatzbereiche beruhen dabei auf einer in Jahrhunderten aufgebauten, holzbaulichen Expertise sowie auf aktuellen Forschungen im modernen Ingenieurholzbau. Diese Spezialdisziplin hat sich in den letzten Jahrzehnten besonders in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz signifikant weiterentwickelt und ist heute weltweit führend. Timber: the old raw material and building material returns.There are many reasons today for building with wood and there are great advantages over conventional designs. Wood is not only a renewable building material that helps reduce the levels of CO2 and is hence good for climate change, but, due to modern computing and manufacturing processes, it can also be used for a variety of construction tasks. Wood possesses excellent qualities for both construction and indoor climate control, and can easily be combined with other common building materials. Based on 24 international projects, the book provides an overview of the range of possibilities in wood construction today. Texts, images, and plans document the architectural and constructive qualities of contemporary timber structures from the conceptual design to the structure in detail. The various uses are based on current research in modern timber engineering but also on timber construction expertise that has been developing over many centuries. This special discipline has evolved significantly in recent decades, particularly in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, and is a world leader today.

Abstract

Holz und Holzwerkstoffe faszinieren durch schöne Oberflächen, flexible Einsatzbereiche und vor allem durch ihre Nachhaltigkeit über den gesamten Lebenszyklus. Planer und Bauherrschaft brauchen deshalb gesichertes Wissen – Planungs- und Ausführungsfehler können teure Konsequenzen nach sich ziehen. Als kompaktes Handbuch für Planer, Ingenieure, Holzbaufirmen und Studenten behandelt „Holz im Hochbau" alle wesentlichen Konstruktionsaspekte: neuartige und erprobte Holzbauweisen, Werkstoffe und Produkte, Bauphysik, Gebäudephysik, Bemessung, Ausführung, Verarbeitung, Ausschreibung und Ökonomie. „Holz im Hochbau" liefert ein breites Grundlagenwissen und stellt mit Faustformeln, Tabellen und vielen Abbildungen anschaulich die praktische Anwendung dar. Wood and new wood materials are remarkable for their sustainability through the life-cycle, but planners and builders need certainty. Wood in Building Construction covers innovative and time-honored forms of wood construction in a compact handbook, combining theory with practice. It clearly describes traditional building methods and new trends in architecture with wood. An essential handbook for planners, engineers, contractors, and students.
