A madeira laminada colada (MLC) é um produto estrutural que permite racionalizar o uso da madeira sólida, pois a partir de pequenas peças selecionadas e preparadas é possível produzir grandes vigas das mais variadas formas. A utilização da madeira de reflorestamento na produção de MLC lhe confere vantagens ambientais sobre outros materiais e o Eucalyptus grandis é uma espécie que oferece grande potencial para o uso estrutural. As emendas longitudinais entre lâminas representam descontinuidades na peça de MLC e, assim como os defeitos em peças maciças, são regiões potencialmente fracas causando grande influência na resistência de vigas laminadas. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi o de estudar a influência de uma emenda de topo e de sua posição na lâmina inferior de vigas laminadas coladas (VLCs) no momento de inércia, na elástica da viga e consequentemente no módulo de elasticidade na flexão estática (EM0). Foi conduzido um estudo teórico-experimental com corpos-de-prova maciços que receberam um corte na borda tracionada simulando uma emenda de topo na lâmina inferior de VLCs. Em uma 1ª etapa da experimentação, foram realizados ensaios de flexão estática destrutivos com corposde- prova de seção transversal 2,5 x 2,5 cm não classificados com o intuito de explorar a grandeza da variabilidade das propriedades estudadas para diferentes posições da emenda ao longo da borda inferior da viga biapoiada. A 2ª etapa de ensaios consistiu na classificação de um lote de corpos-de-prova de seção transversal de 3,0 x 4,0 cm através de ensaios de flexão estática não destrutivos para minimizar o erro experimental imposto pela variabilidade natural do material. Em uma 3ª etapa, foram realizados ensaios de flexão estática destrutivos de corpos-de-prova de seção transversal 3,0 x 4,0 cm classificados para estudar o efeito de diferentes posições da emenda na borda inferior da viga num lote de menor variabilidade. Em uma 4ª etapa da experimentação foram realizadas simulações através de planilhas de cálculo com base na teoria de Garcia (2008) para a comprovação dos resultados experimentais e elaboração de novas formulações de dimensionamento de VLCs. Verificou-se que o corte não influenciou no EM0 nos ensaios da 1ª etapa quando se tratou de um lote de madeira desuniforme, mas exerceu um efeito significativo nos ensaios da 3ª etapa dentro do lote de peças classificadas. Concluiu-se que o corte influencia na rigidez da viga à flexão (EI), pois provoca uma modificação do fluxo de tensões com consequente alteração da distribuição de tensões ao longo da altura da viga e do momento de inércia. A concentração de tensões na área circundante ao corte provoca uma redução no momento de inércia que deve ser levada em consideração no dimensionamento de VLCs em que se utilizam emendas de topo nas lâminas tracionadas. O corte influencia significantemente na resistência à flexão da viga porque dá origem ao aparecimento de uma fissura paralela à grã que transporta a altura reduzida pelo corte à seção critica. Essa fissura é provocada por cisalhamento oriundo do momento fletor e não do esforço cortante. / Glued laminated timber (GLULAM) is a structural product that allows rationalizing the use of solid wood, as from small selected and prepared pieces it is possible to produce large beams in a variety of shapes. The use wood from planted forests in GLULAM production brings environmental advantages compared to other materials and Eucalyptus grandis is a species that offers great potential for structural use. The end joints that connect pieces to perform the entire laminas represent discontinuities in the GLULAM and as many defects in solid wood are potentially weak areas. The aim of the present paper is to study the influence of a butt joint and its position in the bottom lamination of glued laminated beams, on the moment of inertia, on the elastic of the beam and therefore on the modulus of elasticity in static bending (EM0). A theoretical and experimental study was conducted with solid specimens that were cut on the tensioned edge simulating a butt joint at the bottom lamination of glued laminated beams. At a first phase of testing, destructive static bending tests were performed with specimens sized 2.5 x 2.5 cm as cross-section non classified in order to explore the magnitude of the natural variability of the studied properties for different positions of the joint along the bottom edge of the biconstrainted beam. The second phase of testing consisted in classifying a batch of specimens 3.0 x 4.0 cm cross section by non-destructive static bending tests to minimize experimental error imposed by the natural variability of the material. At a third phase, destructive static bending tests were performed with 3.0 x 4.0 cm cross section classified specimens to study the effect of different positions of the joint on the bottom edge of the beam in a group of low variability. At the fourth phase simulations were performed using spreadsheets on the Garcia´s theory (2008) to verify the experimental results and the development of new formulations of glued laminated beams design. It was verified that the cut did not affect the EM0 on the first step of testing when regarding a non uniform batch of wood, but there was a significant effect on the tests of the third step over the batch of classified wood. It was concluded that the cut influences the stiffness of the bending beam (EI) by changing the flux tensions pattern and consequent change in stress distribution along the beam height and the moment of inertia. The concentration of stresses in the area surrounding the cut causes a reduction in the moment of inertia that must be taken into account for designing glued laminated beams that use butt joints in the tensioned edge. The cut significantly influence the beam bending strength because give way to appear a check in parallel to the grain and transport the reduced height to the critical cross section. Such a check is due shear stresses consequent of the bending moment and not from the shear force.

Cracks in wood are considered to be one of the major problems for products, which have been made from this material. Crack detection and its propagation methods should be revised and improved with application of modern techniques. Nowadays new measuring techniques like digital camera image processing, and 3-D laser scanning are available. This work describes computer aided in-field methods for registration cracks in wood, its propagation, and tracing dimensional stability of glued laminated beams. The benefits of different methods for supervision of wooden element as well as its limitations are discussed. / <p>Validerat; 20120608 (anonymous)</p>

This diploma thesis deals with the design of the structure of the multi-storey building of the Technical Museum in Olomouc. This timber structure is made of glued laminated wood with the strenghts Gl24h and Gl32h. It is a complex of six adjoining buildings, which are shifted from one another in both transverse direction and the heigth. The ground plan dimensions of the parcel on which tha hal lis decomposed is 40 x 80 m. A complete static design solution, including its foundation, anchoring and selected type connections, has been solved.

The subjekt of this thesis is a design of a viewing tower located in the area of Brdy.

In this time are for design of wooden elements available simplified procedures for fire modeling which defines ČSN EN 1991-1-2. But it is not experimentally tested the impact of adhesive on the final value of fire resistance of laminated panels. This diploma thesis solves basic normative practices that could explain the durability of glue bond against increased temperatures. in the practical part will be undertaken to experimentally assess the impact of various kinds of adhesive-based (epoxy, formaldehyde, PUR and EPI) on the glued bond durability against increased temperature. Glued joints that will be subjected to gradual temperature exposure in order to assemble the dependence of the temperature influence on the final strength of the joint according to the type of adhesive.
