Foram coletados quatro colmos em idade adulta e cortados a cada 2,0 m, divididos em quatro secções no sentido longitudinal sendo imersas em água durante 10 dias e secas ao ar. As secções foram transformadas em taliscas com dimensões de 0,5 x 3,5 x 45 cm (espessura x largura x comprimento) e tratadas termicamente a 100, 140, 160, 180 e 200°C, durante uma hora para cada temperatura. Os adesivos utilizados foram o Cascophen RS-216-M , à base de resorcinol - formaldeído, Cascamite PL-2030 , à base de uréia - formaldeído, ambos termofixos e um termoplástico à base de acetato de polivinila, Cascorez 2500 . As taliscas termorretificadas foram dimensionadas conforme cada ensaio realizado. Observou-se que os colmos de bambu possuem uma frequência de vasos de 0 a 4 vasos.mm-2 com média de 2 vasos.mm-², fibras longas e estreitas com comprimento médio de 2,72 mm. A massa específica básica de 0,66 g.cm-3 e a retratibilidade volumétrica de 15,41%. Os teores de extrativos e lignina total aumentaram, conforme o incremento da temperatura, e o teor de holocelulose foi reduzido. A partir da temperatura de 160 °C ocorreu um ganho na durabilidade natural do bambu e na estabilidade dimensional do BLCTR aderido com RF, porém houve uma queda nos valores da massa específica básica e na resistência mecânica do material / This work aimed to evaluate the physical and anatomical characteristics of bamboo "in natura", analysing the effects of thermal treatment on the technological properties of glued laminated bamboo thermo-modified (GLBT) and in your natural durability. A total of four culms were collected in age adulthood and cut every to 2.0 m and divided into four lengthwise sections that were immersed in water for 10 days and air-dried. The sections were transformed into flights with dimensions of 0.5 x 3,5 x 45 cm (thickness x width x length) and thermal treated to 100, 140, 160, 180 and 200 °C for one hour for each temperature. T he adhesives used were Cascophen RS-216-M , based resorcinol formaldehyde, Cascamite PL-2030 , based on urea - formaldehyde, both thermoset and thermoplastic based on one polyvinylacetate, Cascorez 2500 . The flights thermal treated were scaled according to each proposed test. It was observed that the bamboo culms have a frequency of 0 to 4 vessels.mm-2, whith mean of vessels.mm-2, with long and narrow fibres with length average of 2.72 mm. The basic specific gravity was of 0.66 g.cm-3 and volumetric shrinkage of 15.41%. The total extractives and lignin contents increased as the temperature increase, and holocellulose content has been reduced. Since the temperature of 160 °C was a gain in durability natural bamboo and the dimensional stability of GLBT adhered to RF, but there was a decrease in the values of specific gravity and mechanicalproperties of the material

Topic of this Master's Thesis is a design and a statical evalution of a load bearing structure of an observation tower in Beskydy mountains. Ground plan of this structure is in a shape of a nonagon with a non-roofed interior space. Height of the observation tower is 38,5 m, the shape of a ground plan doesn't change with a radius of a circumscribed circle of 12 m. The structure is designed from glued laminated timber, solid wood and steel. Columns bear horizontal beams and their stiffness is ensured by horizontal and inclined reinforcing beams. Main load bearing columns, upper and lower beams are designed from glued laminated timber GL24h. Upper beams and beams of a gallery are designed from glued laminated timber GL36h. Horizontal stiffener is designed from solid wood C24. Central column, inclined beams, stairway, water slide cantilevers, rod and central rod are designed from steel of a strength class S235. Cantilever for gallery is designed from steel of a strength class S355. Connections are designed from steel elements. Statical evaluation, technical report and construction drawing are included
