BENDING STRENGTH REINFORCEMENT OF COMPOUND BUILDING COMPONENTS MADE OF LOGS

摘要

We have developed a structural building system applicable to any kind of building whether long-span or high-rise. This building system uses compound building components made of long, thin logs bound together with spacers and ties in order to reinforce their bending strength. A series of graphs for estimation of bending strength for this type of building components has been prepared in order to simplify the structural design of buildings using such components.
