Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) / O presente estudo tem como objetivo realizar uma avaliação dos sistemas construtivos de casas de madeira baseadas no sistema Light Wood Frame, aplicados na região de Curitiba, Paraná. Foram realizadas entrevistas com empresas que utilizam o sistema construtivo Light Wood Frame. Foi utilizado um questionário com perguntas diretas e questões abertas relativas à produção, recursos materiais e tempo de produção. A conclusão foi de que o uso de madeira em tecnologia de construção de habitação é uma solução adequada e que o sistema Light Wood Frame é uma alternativa construtiva eco-eficiente, porque otimiza processos construtivos, utiliza-se de materiais recicláveis e/ou renováveis, e diminui desperdícios na obra, fornecendo soluções para problemas relacionados com a eficiência energética, sustentabilidade e habitação limpa no Brasil. Para um bom desempenho na aplicação de madeira para construção de moradias tornar-se uma realidade, a produção brasileira no sistema precisa ser submetida à normalização e regulamentos, para aumentar a produtividade dos sistemas existentes e incentivar a construção em madeira no Brasil. / The present study aims to conduct an assessment of building systems of wooden houses based in Light Wood Frame system, applied in Curitiba, Paraná. Interviews were conducted with companies that use system constructive Light Wood Frame in Brazil, more specifically in the region of Curitiba, Paraná. It was used a questionnaire with direct questions and open questions concerning production, material resources and production time. The conclusion was that the use of wood in housing construction technology is an appropriate solution and the system Light Wood Frame is a constructive alternative eco-efficient, because provides solutions to problems related to energy efficiency, sustainability and clean housing in Brazil. To a good performance in use of wood for houses to become a reality, the Brazilian production system needs to be submitted for standardization and regulations to increase the productivity of existing systems.

Theme of diploma thesis is a Heavy wooden frame in apartment development. The thesis is concerned with a proposal of residential building project, which has the possibility of accommodation for people in rural areas near larger city. This is a residential building with 3 storeys. The first floor is completely wheelchair friendly and there is a flat for the disabled (1+kc). In the first and second floor is placed 7 flats (3x 1+kc, 2x 2+kc, 2x 3+kc). On the third floor there are two flats (4+kc) with entry to the terrace. Building is placed on the base zone and footing. The structural system is consists of a heavy wooden frame. The ceiling structure consists of wood joists anchored into girder frame. In the building there is a flat walkable roof in place of terrace of the apartment on the third floor, otherwise is roof construction consisting of slanting roof with wooden roof truss.

The theme of the master’s thesis is to design wooden roof structure three-aisled building in Brno. The proposal is developed up according to standards ČSN EN. The thesis solves the static effect of the wooden structure, design of parts, and materials design. Plan dimensions are 51x14m, maximal height is 11,9m. The structure is designed for ultimate limit states and serviceability. The supporting structure is designed as solid wooden arched trusses frames's connection to the wooden pole. The thesis solve also details and solution design.

My dissertation is based on the appraisal of wooden roof construction in baroque church Nanebevzetí Panny Marie in Vranově nad Dyjí. The main reason of this appraisal was preserving the church´s interior which was newly reconstructed with high historical value. The dissertation includes also the rehabilitation solution. The appraisal was based on the research witch used sense and instrumental methods. In the first part were found out all size of each construction´s parts and was established the type of rafters´ systém. Then the research solved some impaired wooden parts and their reasons. For suitable rehabilitation solution was defined the transition between well and impaired part. The best rehabilitation solution is the construction solution by the conditions using further procedures, e.g. preventive chemical protection.
