Maximum Structural Dimensions of Sawn Timber Wall Frame in Warehouse Construction: prefabricated wall element
Wood is an essential and renewable construction material with a relatively low environmental impact However due to concerns regarding fire risk and the limitations of existing timber frame buildings many questions have arisen in timber construction sector Engineers attempt to address these questions by researching and studying the behavior of timber structures under applied loads and by making structural design analyses. The scope of the thesis is to study and design the maximum structural dimension of sawn timber wall frame element for a warehouse building. This thesis is a case study of a timber warehouse hall. The thesis is divided into two parts: theoretical knowledge and practical calculation. The theoretical knowledge section covers the data used in the case study, including timber products, properties and design codes. The practical calculation section covers the design procedure for a wall frame following Eurocode and Finnish National Annex standards SFS-EN 1990, SFS-EN 1991 and SFS-EN 1995 by using Mathcad sheets Tekla Tedds and Finnwood software. The results of this thesis demonstrate that the maximum structural dimension of sawn timber wall frame can be achieved based on theoretical and design calculations. However practical limitations such as the limited dimensions of sawn timber and transportation constraints on wall frame elements have a significant impact on the actual implementation of the design. ; 1
