Application of Joints in Modern and Traditional Construction
In the age of accelerated advancement of technology and use of innovative and contemporary materials, the application of ecological and green materials was forgotten. These materials were completely ignored and rejected by the past century. However, for the past 20 years, when environmental awareness comes to light, the application of nature-friendly materials is reviving again. In the Bio-based Student Pavilion project made in Bosnia and Herzegovina, wood as natural materials is used for load-bearing construction. In the traditional way of constructing, the wooden element connections were often accomplished by the so-called carpenter’s connections that excluded the use of metal fittings. Use of carpentry’s connections is especially important for achieving the highest possible energy efficiency of the building as they don’t create thermal bridges. Although the goal was to achieve the highest energy efficiency in order to reach the nearly zero energy building, the use of connections without metal compounds was limited. The reason for this is due to the frame construction that lacks load-bearing walls, which would provide additional stability. After shortly presentation of the connections in the wooden structures, the advantages and disadvantages of connections with or without metal fittings are analysed.
