Overview of the most common Brief History of Strengths and of Structures in Holz an European timber industry Examples of modern Structures
System No. 1 Log Structures Long tradition in many countries Common in mountainous regions Restricted to individual markets
System No. 2 Frame Structures Widely spread all of over Europe Option to use shorter length logs Option to use hardwood components Load-bearing frame visible
System No. 2 Frame Structures Popularity decreased with urbanisation Restricted design possibilities materials more economic Still seen in agricultural buildings
System No. 3 Balloon or Platform Frame Structures Fast growing United States, 19 th century Nails, lumber & railroad Quick assembly possible Functional as well as individual Affordable buildings
System No. 4 Stud and Panel Structures An adaption of balloon & platform frame Stability by attaching wooden sheets Most popular building system in USA Market share in central Europe growing Pre-assemble possible, quick assembly
System No. 5 Solid Structures Production of large-formated elements Double function: load-bearing + enclosing Walls, roofs and floors Simple and efficient assembly Flexible design no grid pattern
The most Common Log structures frame construction Balloon and platform frame construction stud and panel construction Solid timber construction
The History of Engineered Structures 1st century B.C., Roman Basilika with 18 m span timber truss 55 B.C. J. Caesar builds a bridge across the Rhine river: 4 x 400 m 12th century stave churces, the onset of timber frame construction Middle Ages: homes were constructed as timber frame Composite timber structures Non-glued layered bridge beams
Historical Development of Structures until 1900 16th century was the century of timber bridges Composite timber structures: individual components were jointed and fixed with wooden nails permitting spans of up to 50 m 1860 King Edward College in Southhampton, first known glulam structure
Engineered Wood Products 20 th century developments 1908: Otto Hetzer receives patent on glulam beams 1940: Use of waterproofed adhesives (resorcinol) 1950: Industrial production of I-joists 1988: Introduction of Parallam, LVL, 1990: Growth of glulam beam market in Europe 1998: Cross laminated timber, first technical approval
Design & Engineering (Architect & Engineer) 19th century: separation of tasks between architect and engineer Engineer is responsible for loading and structural design Architect becomes responsible for space and aesthetics considerations In consequence: independent design are not necessarily tied to the structural considerations
Design & Manufacturing Digital design tools permit the generation of complex geometric shapes independent of the material and statical restrictions Mechanization and CNC process allow materials to be processed with higher degree of accuracy
Trends of the 21 st century 1. Solid timber structures Simple compliance of structure and aesthetics Load-bearing and enclosing function High degree in flexibility no grid pattern Fast and economic assembly 2. Complex structural designs Away from simple lines, plane elements Arched, 3-dimensional beams Individual, creativity, extravagant designs
Strengths S W O T: Structures Long spans, load-bearing / weight ratio MOE, allows bending, free shapes Resistance to aggressive chemicals Controlled burning Easy to work with Speed of assembly Shape, design flexibility Available regional resource Climate positive Advantage of off-site production
S W O T: Structures Large spans are economical CO 2 sink, carbon foot print reduced Sustainability of timber Off-site production speeds up assembly is easily worked with Fire resistance properties are advantagous Shape, design flexibility Comfort, well being of the owners and
opportunity 1 Cross-laminated - residential Easy of design and assembly Meets today s architectural style Load-bearing and enclosing function High load bearing performance High dimensional stability Improved living comfort
Opportunity 2 Cross-laminated Community s environmental conscious, CO 2 storage politically favored & pushed easy, efficient design + quick assembly dry building material: quick completion - cost savings healthy environment, high degree of comfort

The proliferation of engineered timber products is positive It is positive for the people and for the environment is the only resource which is re-grown and reused The use of timber creates sustainable jobs, health and wealth Working with timber and living in timber structures provides satisfaction and well-being There are a multiple of opportunities in developing timber structures The chances to participate in this growth have never been better
