A manufacturing principle for universal finger-joints is brought into industrial production. The novel structural element enables the use of low-grade wood components in high load-bearing wood beams in hall construction.
Goals
In order to effectively reduce CO2 emissions, the consumption of resources and the volume of waste in the construction industry, material consumption must not only be reduced, but materials must be used in a recyclable or upgraded way (cycle-effective construction).
In the ResBu project, beech wood girders of large spans for hall supporting structures are being standardized and developed on a 1:1 scale. The mechanically effective use of beech wood components as I-profiled beech wood hybrid girders made of low quality beech wood in the web (glulam (BSH)) and BauBuche chords (laminated veneer lumber (FSH)) creates a highly loadable, novel structural element. By using wood components that could not normally be recycled due to their quality, valuable resources are conserved.
