HOCHHINAUS: High-rise timber buildings - Engineering methods for structural design
The content on this page was translated automatically.
In recent years, building heights for timber structures have also been gradually pushed beyond the high-rise limit. Due to the comparatively low construction weight, dynamic issues are of crucial importance here. In the case of high-rise buildings, this relates in particular to the question of susceptibility to vibrations caused by wind.
The aim of this research project is to investigate the dynamic behavior of timber buildings under wind-induced vibrations and, in this context, in particular the amplitude-dependent behavior of the connections. To this end, tests are carried out on connections and true-to-scale timber structures as well as finite element analyses of construction details and timber buildings with different heights and geometries, and measurements are taken on buildings under construction or existing buildings.
