Abstract

This book contains papers presented at the 1st International Conference on Timber Structures, which was held in collaboration with the Technical Centre of Wood Industry in Belgium. It explores the latest developments in wood products and their application as structural components. The focus of the included works is to draw attention to new research and real applications from both researchers and practitioners, and to present new and innovative ideas in this significant field. Rapid advances have recently been made in the development and processing of innovative ecologically friendly wood products. A variation of new structural shapes can now be fabricated and used to construct buildings and bridges which have minimal impact on the environment. Wood is particularly appealing since it is renewable and has no carbon footprint when it is harvested in a sustainable way. Timber structures are ecologically sound and comparatively low cost. The material lends itself to ground-breaking designs and new types of composites offer reliable, robust and safe materials.

Abstract

This is a reprint of the Special Issue entitled "Wood-Based Materials in Building" and deals with the latest developments in reinforcing construction materials, their joining, glulam-concrete composite beams, the effect of fire-retarding wood on its strength, and the applicability of newly developed wood-based boards and composite insulation materials produced with the use of wood by-products.

Abstract

Rund um den einzigen nachwachsenden Baustoff ist im Vorarlberg eine aktive und innovative Szene entstanden: Handwerker, Planer und Industriebetriebe erweitern gemeinsam dessen Möglichkeiten und Einsatzgebiete. Hermann Kaufmann als einer der wichtigsten Protagonisten, lotet mit seinem Büro seit Jahrzehnten die Grenzen des Materials aus. Das Illwerke Zentrum Montafon setzt Maßstäbe in Vorfabrikation und ist dabei ebenso präzise gebaut und wohnlich wie die kleinen Preziosen, für die das Vorarlberg berühmt ist. Die Publikation widmet sich der Entstehung des knapp 10.000 qm großen Verwaltungszentrums, mit welchem hinsichtlich Größe und industrieller Fertigung im Holzbau ein Quantensprung gelungen ist: Vom Einfluss des Wassers und der Topografie, von der Entwicklung der Kubatur bestimmt durch die statische Struktur des Bausystems und die einheitlichen Bedingungen für alle Arbeitsplätze, bis hin zum Wandel der Bürokultur durch die Architektur und schließlich der Einbeziehung von Kunst am Bau. The federal state of Vorarlberg holds a distinguished position in wooden construction with an active and innovative scene, where tradespeople, planers and industrial enterprises build upon their possibilities and develop their field together. Hermann Kaufmann, as one of the key protagonists has been working with his team to push the material to its limits for decades. In regards to its size and industrial manufacturing, the Illwerke Zentrum Montafon has successfully made a quantum leap in wooden construction. The publication describes the emergence of the approximately 10,000m2 administration centre: from the influence of the water and the topography, from the development of the cubature defined by the static structure of the building system and the uniform conditions for all working spaces, to the change of the office culture due to the architecture, and finally, the integration of art in the construction.

Abstract

This volume presents the research work carried out in the field of survey and representation methodologies for the documentation and analysis of wooden buildings. Thanks to the investigations carried out within a European project financed by the 7th Framework Program, several traditional Karelian villages, reported in this publication as case studies, have been documented with the aim of drawing guidelines for the development of suitable methodological protocols for documentation, analysis , survey, census and representation of complex systems. The research lays the foundations for the definition of an updated modus operandi to support the operators who are engaged in restoration, protection and preservation projects of the wooden architectural heritage.

Abstract

Discovering the unused potential of wood Holz wird meist als "traditioneller" Werkstoff wahrgenommen. Seine Materialeigenschaften ermöglichen längst jedoch die Gestaltung von Freiformen und hochkomplexen Strukturen. Das ursprünglich von Julius Natterer gegründete Holzlabor der ETH Lausanne erprobt heute unter der Leitung von Professor Wienand mit digitalen Berechnungs- und computergestützten Bearbeitungsmethoden die Herstellung von Origami-Strukturen, Rippenschalen, Gewebestrukturen und gekrümmten Paneelen.Diese Forschungsergebnisse werden in Prototypen erprobt, die so die Anwendungsmöglichkeiten für großmaßstäbliche Holzbauten anschaulich machen. Durch dieses Ausloten bislang ungenutzter Potenziale des Baustoffs Holz bietet dieses Buch einen spannenden und inspirierenden Ausblick auf eine neue Generation von Holzbauten.

Abstract

Holz inspiriert und fasziniert. Seit jeher haben Gestalter aller Disziplinen diesen vielseitigen und nachwachsenden Rohstoff eingesetzt. Neue Verarbeitungstechnologien erweitern heute das Spektrum seiner Einsatzmöglichkeiten und ermöglichen dabei überraschende Lösungen. Wonder Wood präsentiert diesen zeitlosen Werkstoff in seiner zeitgenössischen sowie zukunftsorientierten Anwendung und dokumentiert eine Auswahl aktueller Projekte und Prozesse, Making-of's und Experimente von 120 international renommierten Designer, Architekten und Künstlern, die durch ihren kreativen und innovativen Umgang mit dem Material überzeugen. Bei ausgewählten Projekten geben Interviews mit den Gestaltern einen fundierten Einblick in die kreativen Arbeitsprozesse und Ergebnisse. In einem Material- und Technologieteil werden innovative Entwicklungen und elementare Grundlagen über Holz, Holzwerkstoffe, Fertigungsverfahren und Holzbau-Konstruktionsprinzipien erläutert. Mit Biografien der im Buch vertretenen Gestaltern, einem alphabetischen Sach-Index, Fach- und Recherchequellen bietet Wonder Wood den Service eines zeitlosen Nachschlagewerks. Wonder Wood presents this timeless material as it is being used today and how it can be used in the future. It also documents a selection of current international projects and processes, making-ofs, and experiments by 120 internationally renowned designers, architects, and artists, whose creative and innovative approach to the material makes their work compelling. For selected projects, interviews with the designers provide an in-depth look at the creative process and its results. A second section, dedicated to materials and technologies examines innovative developments as well as wood, wood-based materials, finishing technologies, and wooden structure principles. With biographies of the designers represented in the book, an alphabetical index, a bibliography and sources, Wonder Wood will serve the reader as a classic book of reference.

Abstract

Holz und Holzwerkstoffe faszinieren durch schöne Oberflächen, flexible Einsatzbereiche und vor allem durch ihre Nachhaltigkeit über den gesamten Lebenszyklus. Planer und Bauherrschaft brauchen deshalb gesichertes Wissen – Planungs- und Ausführungsfehler können teure Konsequenzen nach sich ziehen. Als kompaktes Handbuch für Planer, Ingenieure, Holzbaufirmen und Studenten behandelt „Holz im Hochbau" alle wesentlichen Konstruktionsaspekte: neuartige und erprobte Holzbauweisen, Werkstoffe und Produkte, Bauphysik, Gebäudephysik, Bemessung, Ausführung, Verarbeitung, Ausschreibung und Ökonomie. „Holz im Hochbau" liefert ein breites Grundlagenwissen und stellt mit Faustformeln, Tabellen und vielen Abbildungen anschaulich die praktische Anwendung dar. Wood and new wood materials are remarkable for their sustainability through the life-cycle, but planners and builders need certainty. Wood in Building Construction covers innovative and time-honored forms of wood construction in a compact handbook, combining theory with practice. It clearly describes traditional building methods and new trends in architecture with wood. An essential handbook for planners, engineers, contractors, and students.
