AbstractConsolidation and supplementation of the basic knowledge acquired in Timber Structures I + II. Treatment of current topics and innovations in timber engineering. Structural design and refurbishment of complex timber structures with high requirements for earthquake resistance, sound insulation and fire protection. Description, analysis and discussion of an existing timber structure in groups.
ObjectiveIn-depth understanding of the theoretical and design aspects of timber construction. Dimensioning, structural design, optimisation and refurbishment of complex timber structures with high requirements for earthquake resistance, sound insulation and fire protection.
ContentMulti-storey timber buildings (general, cross laminated timber, high-rise buildings, fire protection, sound insulation), Post-tensioned timber constructions, building with hardwood, robustness of timber structures, earthquake-resistant timber structures, maintenance and renovation of structures.

AbstractConceptual design, detailing and structural analysis of multi-storey timber buildings as well as timber roof structures and halls.
ObjectiveComprehension and application of basic knowledge of structural timber design including material behaviour especially anisotropy, moisture and long duration effects and their consideration in structural analysis and detailing.
Conceptual design, detailing and structural analysis of multi-storey timber buildings as well as timber roof structures and halls.
ContentField of application of timber structures; Timber as building material (wood structure, physical and mechanical properties of wood and wood-based products); Durability; Principles of design and dimensioning; Connections (dowels, nails, screws, glued connections); Timber components and assemblies (mechanically jointed beams, trusses); Design and detaling of multi-storey timber buildings as well as timber roof structures and halls.
