Structural Systems of Timber Buildings
The current chapter presents a set of main aspects of timber building with a focus on timber-frame constructions. A brief description of timber’s material characteristics in Sect. 3.1 aims at getting acquainted with potential advantages and disadvantages of planning and designing timber buildings, in comparison with using other structural materials, such as concrete or masonry. Section 3.2 discusses predominantly used structural systems of timber construction along with the most important structural and technological characteristics and possibilities. Section 3.3 describes computational models and methods, with their limitations and application in practice. The influence of the sheathing material and the openings studied in our previous numerical and experimental research is additionally shortly presented in order to provide a better insight into a rather problematic area of applying the glazing to timber buildings, which is the main contents part of Chap. 4. Multi-storey prefabricated timber building is one of the increasing opportunities for the public, commercial and residential sectors in the future. Stability problems appearing due to heavy horizontal actions along with possible strengthening solutions already applied in practice are the topic of Sect. 3.4.
