Berechnung von Holz‐Beton‐Verbunddecken

Evaluation of Timber Concrete Composite Slabs If timber and concrete acts together in a cross section, the carrying and deformation behaviour of this new composite section is affected by many influences e.g. geometry, material properties, connecting device, long‐term behaviour, etc. The advantages of this building method and an optimization of the cross sections only can be achieved, if these influences are known and can be taken into account in the structural design. For the proof of the short term behaviour different procedures, e. g. [1], are available. Regarding the long‐term behaviour of the timber concrete composite floors it becomes obvious that the rheological behaviour of timber concrete composite structures is not considered sufficiently by the design method in [1].     

Zur Berechnung von Holz‐Beton‐Verbundträgern mit Methoden der mathematischen Optimierung

Holz‐Beton‐Verbundkonstruktionen weisen als hybride Tragwerke gegenüber reinen Holz‐ bzw. Stahlbetonkonstruktionen zahlreiche Vorteile auf. Wesentlich für die Effizienz der Hybridbauweise ist die Ausbildung der Verbundfuge. Der vorliegende Beitrag stellt ein neues Verbundelement für Straßenbrücken in Holz‐Beton‐Verbundbauweise vor, welches im Rahmen eines Forschungsprojekts an der Bauhaus‐Universität Weimar entwickelt wurde. Die rechnerische Analyse der Verbundkonstruktion erfolgt — abweichend von den im Hybridbau bisher üblichen Berechnungsmethoden — unter Anwendung von Energiemethoden und Nutzung von Algorithmen der mathematischen Optimierung. Calculation of timber‐concrete composite structures using mathematical optimization methods. Timber‐concrete composite structures have many advantages over conventional timber and re inforced concrete structures. The efficiency of such hybrid structures significantly depends on the properties of the com posite joint. This article presents a novel structural element for the joint of timber‐concrete composite bridges, which was developed as part of a research project at the Bauhaus‐Universität Weimar. In contrast to standard calculation methods, an energy method and the mathematical optimization is applied for the numerical analysis of the hybrid structure.     

Visko‐elastisches Verhalten von Holz‐Klebstoff‐Verbindungen unter zyklischer Zug‐Druck‐Belastung

Visco‐elastic behavior of bonded wood under cyclic tensile and compression loading In the present contribution, a test method is used to simulate the static, cyclic loading of adhesive joints due to swelling and shrinking of the wood and to demonstrate the plastic deformation in the low load range. For tensile shear specimens prepared from beech wood and bonded with three different adhesives (MUF, PRF, PUR), the elastic behavior under cyclic tensile and compression loading was investigated and the loss and storage of energy was determined. All tested adhesives showed viscose parts even at a very low load level of 3 MPa. At a load level of 7 MPa, the PRF joints revealed a more elastic behavior than the other. The increased loss energy determined for the PUR bonding indicates a softening of the adhesive joint.     

Langzeitverhalten geklebter Bauteile aus Holz und hochfestem Beton bei natürlichem Klima

Longterm‐behavior of glued full‐scale specimens made from wood and high performance concrete at natural climate conditions The advantages of the construction materials wood and concrete could be used effectively in wood‐concrete‐composite constructions. The composite structure shows optimized load carrying capacity, a better vibrational behavior, higher noise protection and a higher thermally activatable mass in comparison to constructions that are entirely made from wood. Mechanical fasteners or form fitting connections are state‐of‐the‐art for connecting timber to concrete. This leads to more or less flexible bond. By using the adhesive technology a ”rigid bond“ can be achieved and it is possible to combine the advantages of a ”dry construction method“ with the advantages of the prefabrication. The questions of the production technology and the short‐term behavior of glued wood‐concrete composite constructions were answered yet at the department of timber structures at the University of Kassel. Knowledge of long‐term behavior was missing for an application in construction practice. This was studied in the last three years in detail. The experimental und numerical investigations on full‐scale specimens and the conclusions for a practical application are reported in the following article.
