1 Timber Engineering (7.5 ECTS credits) Given in December 2012 by LTH and sponsored by COST FT1004 and Swedish Wood. Content and Objectives Timber Engineering is the discipline, art, skill and profession of acquiring and applying scientific principles and practical knowledge to analyse, develop and design timber structures that support or resist loads. It deals with structural components, joints and systems based on both solid timber and engineered wood products. The content of the course can be described with the following main areas: ure Engineered Timber Products Connection techniques and calculation models Stability and bracing Large-span timber structures Composite structures Timber Bridges Buckling and second order effects Dynamic of timber structures Earthquake engineering applied to timber structures Fracture mechanics and failure models Forensic Timber Engineering Strengthening techniques Laboratory tests Speaker Robert Kliger, Chalmers, Göteborg Jan-Willem van de Kuilen, Technical University, Munich/ Delft University of Technology Roberto Crocetti, Lund University Richard Harris, Bath University Kay-Uwe Schober, University of Applied Science, Mainz, Germany Roberto Crocetti, Lund University Kolbein Bell, NTNU Patricia Hamm, University of Applied Science, Biberach, Germany Roberto Tomasi, Trento University Per Johan Gustafsson, Lund University Eva Frühwald Hansson, Lund University Several COST members Attendance Recommended basis for the course is an academic degree in civil engineering or building technology. General knowledge about solid mechanics, structural engineering including basic knowledge about design of timber structures is required. The course should be of interest for Graduate students, teachers and researchers in structural engineering and architecture Practising structural engineers and architects with interests to specialise in timber structures. Organisation The course will be given in concentrated block during December 2012, with lectures, exercises and laboratory demonstrations. All lectures and other presentations are given in English. Apart from the scheduled teaching, the participants are expected to do independent home work in the form of analytical problem solving and written seminar papers. The course venue is Lund University, School of Civil Engineering, John Ericssons väg 1, Lund, Sweden

2 Teaching Responsible teaching staff from Lund: Roberto Crocetti, Eva Frühwald Hansson. Other invited teachers representing European experts and researchers are sponsored by COST FT1004. Examination The course corresponds to 7.5 ECTS-units, where 1,5 unit is a 40 h working week. In order to receive a certificate for the course, the student must pass a written examination. In addition, compulsory assignments must be hand-in to pass the course. Literature - Thelandersson, S., Larsen H.J., Ed.
