Hybrid Wood Structures Engineering
EF 2019-20
Résumé
Wood structures are on the rise! Heightened public awareness regarding carbon footprints has dramatically increased the demand for sustainable construction and has initiated resurgence in the use of wood in tall residential and non-residential buildings. Together with the development of new engineered wood products and advanced connectors, wood-based hybrid structures that combine wood with different materials represent tremendous potential. Reliable design guidance is needed for a successful market implementation of wood-based hybrid systems. The main objective of the proposed research program is the development of such design guidance through conceptual, experimental, numerical, and analytical investigations.
