One­line course for the struc­tur­al desing of mul­ti­storey tim­ber build­ings

The design and dimen­sion­ing guide­lines for wood­en apart­ment build­ings in use in Fin­land are incom­plete, which can lead to uneco­nom­i­cal and even risky struc­tures and build­ings. The height of wood­en apart­ment build­ings has been con­stant­ly increas­ing. The frame mate­ri­als of a wood­en apart­ment build­ing can vary and include, for exam­ple, CLT, LVL, sawn tim­ber, steel and con­crete. Increas­ing­ly taller and geo­met­ri­cal­ly more com­plex wood­en apart­ment build­ings require a high­er lev­el of struc­tur­al design exper­tise.

This project cre­ates edu­ca­tion­al con­tent and an online course for the struc­tur­al design of wood­en apart­ment build­ings based on the lat­est research data, which pre­vi­ous­ly did not exist in Fin­land. The project and the online course will cre­ate the nec­es­sary new exper­tise in North Ostro­both­nia for the increas­ing design and imple­men­ta­tion of wood­en apart­ment build­ings

The project is co-fund­ed by the Euro­pean Union.
