Load bearing timber glass composites : A WoodWisdom-Netproject for innovative building system

Eriksson, Jerry ; Ludvigsson, Mikael ; Dorn, Michael ; Serrano, Erik LU orcid and Enquist, Bertil (2013) COST Action TU0905 Mid-term Conference on Structural Glass, 2013
Abstract
<p>The aim of this three year project, which is part of the WoodWisdom-Net researchprogram, is to develop an innovative load bearing building system composed of timberglasscomposites. The structural loads applied onto these composites will be transferred to, andsupported by, the glass component, in contrary to today’s traditional solutions where glass elementsonly function as an environmental shield. Using such structural elements will make itpossible to largely increase the glass surface in buildings, allowing the presence of more naturallight in personal homes and office buildings.</p><p>Timber-glass shear walls and beams will be developed taking into consideration long-term behaviorand seismic performance.
