Concepts for textile reinforcements for timber structures
Abstract This paper presents general remarks on the development of timber structures as a result of technological changes. It discusses drawbacks of wood with respect to structural application. Shear and transversal strengths are very low due to the anisotropy of wood. Various techniques are applicable to cope with this drawback. This paper presents the reinforcement by means of tailor made textiles as comprehensive technology to deal with this kind of difficulties in many design situations. Particular importance is attached to the material productivity during the transformation of raw wood into structural cross sections. It is shown that cut offs in the sawmill and the predominating full section lead to a poor use of the material compared to technical profiles. A new understanding of the wood as a cellular solid is presented that allows a thermo-hygro-mechanical forming of cross sections from solid wood panels.
