Study on Structural Timber Alternative for Building Performed Using Traditional Systems

This thesis discusses the structural design process and its possible impacts on the utilization of timber-based structural systems shown on a real project of a residential building performed using traditional systems (reinforced concrete structure with grid slabs and ceramic walls).

The structural design was performed using the Dlubal program RFEM. The design process had the following phases:
A) Modeling of the entire structure, including loads.
B) Horizontal and vertical CLT element (panels) design by using the RF‑LAMINATE add-on module.
C) Horizontal steel element (beams) design by using the RF‑STEEL add-on module.
D) Horizontal laminated timber element (beams) design by using the RF‑TIMBER Pro add-on module.
E) Vertical CLT element (panels) design by using the RF‑LAMINATE add-on module.
F) Vertical steel element (columns) design by using the RF‑STEEL add-on module.
G) Vertical laminated timber element (columns) design by using the RF‑TIMBER Pro add-on module.
H) Fire resistance design of the laminated timber elements by using the RF‑TIMBER Pro add-on module.
I) Reduced section design of CLT elements and verification using the RF‑LAMINATE add-on module.
J) Seismic design of the entire structure.
