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.

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.

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.

Das neue Bauen mit Holz hat vielfältige Gründe und Vorteile gegenüber konventionellen Bauweisen: Holz ist ein nachwachsender Baustoff und hilft als CO2-Senke beim Klimaschutz, zugleich ist er dank moderner Berechnungs- und Fertigungsverfahren für zahlreiche Bauaufgaben einsetzbar. Holz weist hervorragende konstruktive wie raumklimatische Eigenschaften auf und lässt sich problemlos mit sämtlichen anderen, gängigen Baumaterialien kombinieren. Dieses Fachbuch gibt anhand von 24 internationalen Projekten einen Überblick über die derzeit realisierte Vielfalt an Möglichkeiten im modernen Holzbau. Die Beiträge dokumentieren in Texten, Bildern und Plänen sowohl die architektonischen als auch die konstruktiven Qualitäten zeitgemäßer Holzbauten, von der Entwurfsplanung über das Tragwerk bis ins Detail. Die vielfältigen Einsatzbereiche beruhen dabei auf einer in Jahrhunderten aufgebauten, holzbaulichen Expertise sowie auf aktuellen Forschungen im modernen Ingenieurholzbau. Diese Spezialdisziplin hat sich in den letzten Jahrzehnten besonders in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz signifikant weiterentwickelt und ist heute weltweit führend. Timber: the old raw material and building material returns.There are many reasons today for building with wood and there are great advantages over conventional designs. Wood is not only a renewable building material that helps reduce the levels of CO2 and is hence good for climate change, but, due to modern computing and manufacturing processes, it can also be used for a variety of construction tasks. Wood possesses excellent qualities for both construction and indoor climate control, and can easily be combined with other common building materials. Based on 24 international projects, the book provides an overview of the range of possibilities in wood construction today. Texts, images, and plans document the architectural and constructive qualities of contemporary timber structures from the conceptual design to the structure in detail. The various uses are based on current research in modern timber engineering but also on timber construction expertise that has been developing over many centuries. This special discipline has evolved significantly in recent decades, particularly in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, and is a world leader today.

The "old" material of wood has been used to construct dwellings of different types since the dawn of mankind. And not without reason. Its low density combined with high rigidity, good processability, and its resistance makes it an excellent building material. There is currently a pioneering renaissance of the timber construction, for two distinct reasons: first, wood is increasingly being rediscovered as one of the most important renewable raw materials for sustainable construction. Moreover, a revolution in the construction of timber structures began several years ago with the ever-progressive use of three-dimensional CAD models for digitally controlled robot manufacturing The book documents these developments, in particular the engineering bonding techniques, the introduction of digital production techniques, and the innovative material developments of this material. The chapter on composite structures and experimental structures specifically address trends toward the future-oriented dimensions of timber construction. In the final section, outstanding designs are documented in detail, such as the Club House of Haesley Nine Bridges Golf Course designed by Shigeru Ban in Yeoju, South Korea, and the double gymnasium in Borex-Crassier, Switzerland, by Graeme Mann and Patricia Capua Mann.
