Tall Mass-Timber BuildingMorales Sabogal, Agni Amram 30 June 2017 (has links)
How can we as design professionals contribute to increase the use of less carbon-intensive materials to build our growing cities?
Cities are experiencing a resurgence in population growth and therefore the building industry ought to attend this demand with sustainable solutions. One way of responding to the growing urban population and increase demand for housing as well as to make efficient use of our limited resources is to increase the density in our cities. Since steel and concrete have high material strengths, we currently use either steel, concrete or composites of them to build skyscrapers. Unfortunately, both of these materials have a large carbon footprint. The design community has the challenge to achieve net-zero emissions buildings by the year 2030, and the efforts now should be focused on using less carbon intensive materials, such as timber.
While cultures around the world have built with wood for centuries, recent technological innovations, such as Cross Laminated Timber (CLT), is allowing for new applications of wood as the main structural material and the potential to use it for large-scale projects. However, as expected with a new building material some constrains have still to be overcome.
For my thesis, I desired to explore this issue through the design of a tall building using mass timber as its main structural material. Engineered timber is here, the future is bright! / Master of Architecture

Utilização de madeira de Eucalyptus em estruturas de pontes.Abdalla, Anna Cristina Pacheco Ballassini 15 April 2002 (has links)
O presente trabalho teve por objetivo o estudo teórico e experimental de uma ponte de madeira constituída exclusivamente de madeira roliça de eucalipto citriodora. Para tanto foram analisados e comparados diversos procedimentos teóricos desenvolvidos para dimensionamento dos elementos estruturais. Um programa desenvolvido com base no método dos esforços, numa planilha eletrônica permitiu o cálculo mais preciso da ponte, admitida como grelha simplificada. Foram ensaiadas ligações de peças roliças por anéis metálicos e estudados o efeito de sua deformabilidade no deslocamento global de vigas compostas bi-circulares. / The present work had as a main objective a theoretical and experimental study of a bridge constituted exclusively of round wood pieces of Eucalyptus citriodora. Several theoretical procedures which were developed for calculating the main bridge structural elements have been analyzed and compared. A program developed according to the efforts method in an electronic spread sheet has allowed a precise calculation of the bridge, admitted as simplified hiperestatic frames. Steel rings were utilized as a fastening system for connecting two round pieces together and the effects of their measured deformations under load was considered on the calculation of the global displacement of twin circular composed beams.

Rizika a opatření při rekonstrukcích dřevěných lidových staveb a konstrukčně srovnatelných novostaveb / Risks and Measures at the Renovation of Vernacular Wooden Structures and Comparable New BuildingsBeníček, Tomáš January 2016 (has links)
This diploma thesis is focused on structural progression of massive wooden structures, requirements to contemporary massive wooden structures, development of carpentry joints and connecting instruments used in constructions and reconstructions of these buildings, and analysis of risks connected with reconstructions of selected historical wooden structures. Another item of this thesis concerns on evaluation of possible risks in particular connecting instruments that are used in massive wooden structures per the FMEA method. The main content of thesis includes a description of selected historical wooden structures, options of their damages, forms of remediation and a description of possible risks and measures in reconstructions. In conclusion the thesis focuses on comparison of historical massive wooden structures and comparable new buildings.

Novostavba polyfunkčního objektu na ulici Jana Babáka, Brno / Multi-purpose Building, Jana Babaka, BrnoKolářová, Eva January 2014 (has links)
Project's goal is to test the large buildings' design options in regards to permanently sustainable construction. The author's aim is to design energy efficient multipurpose building, with minimal negative effects on environment. The positive impact on environment is visible on the preference of natural materials used in construction. External constructions of thermal conductivity coefficient at the level of passive standard are designed using objects of renewable energy. The location in Brno has been chosen for the proposed building, specifically the location known as brownfields. Lot is accessible from the street of Jan Babak, where public transport is available. The shape of the lot is in the form of incomplete oval with internal open atrium. The administrative part of the building takes half of the area with the rest of the area being used for other businesses, such as fitness centre and restaurant. Garages are proposed to be located underneath the main building, which is built on rigid structure. This rigid structure is a steel skeleton one with linked ceilings. The foundation of building is on stilt. The roof is of a flat type with variable slope, its structure and slope are of metal construction. Claddings are designed in the form of wooden structure filled with straw bales, the exterior is thermally insulated using fibreboard thermal insulation. Inner tract facade is proposed to be panelled with wooden planks. Photovoltaic panels will be placed both from the south and southeast of the outer oval. The rest of the facade will be panelled with grate for creepers. Only environment-friendly sources of energy are considered for the proposed building. Heating and cooling is based on the heat pump air-water system; using the rainwater as an example of renewing natural energy. The surroundings of the building are designed as meadows for of infiltration of rainwater. The proposed building has been assessed in terms of environmental sustainabilit

Sportovní zařízení v Holešově / Sport Center in HolešovLánský, Petr January 2014 (has links)
This bachelor thesis “Family Residence with Two Flats“ is composed in a form of implementing project documentation and it contains all requisites according to the valid regulations. It is a complex of two connected buildings. The first part is the base for athletes and spectators. The second part consists of a sports hall with the playing surface and bleachers for spectators. The first part of the building has 3 floors. The sports hall is roofed using trusses made of laminated wood. Part of this work is the study of dispositions specialization focused on technical equipment of buildings and wooden structures and seminar papers presented in the form of drawings details.
