Contenus de l'unité d'enseignement
This course is dedicated to the utilisation of wood as a material for structures in buildings, bridges and footbridges. Because of its light weight, its good environmental perception and, under some conditions, the good fire resistance that it allows to achieve, wood is more and more utilised for the construction of footbridges, housses and for the roof of commercial and industrial buildings.
The course is divided in 7 chapters and 2 annexes:
1. Introduction
Comparison between the situation of the timber construction in Belgium and in other parts of the world.
Reasons of the main differences; cultural reasons, fear linked to fire and doubts about durability.
Advantages of the timber construction.
2. Properties
The tree.
Constitution of timber.
Main properties of timber: relative humidity, shrinkage, thermal expansion, specific mass, compressive strength, tensile strength, bending strength, shear strength, chocs, coefficients of elasticity, stress-strain diagram.
3. Utilisation of timber in construction
Circular sections.
Square sections.
Glue laminated timber.
Different families of panels.
4. Design
General principles and formulae dor the verification of elements under different effects of actions.
5. Connections
Introduction.
Traditional connections.
Dowel type connections.
Other mecanical connections.
General considerations.
Some examples of common connections.
6. Durability
Protection against fire.
Protection against roting: choice of the species, constructive protection, chemical protection.
7. Structures
Introduction. Beam in bending. Arches. Frames. Trusses. Houses.

Modalités d'évaluation et critères
1/2 of the points are awarded for a project that the students have to do, partly during the time of the course, partly outside the hours of the course. 1/2 of the points are awarded for the oral examination. For this examination, a list of subjects is distributed to the students when the course is finished. On the day of the examination, each student draws at random two subjects among the list. He will then discuss the subject with the teacher after having prepared his answer on a blackboard. The lecture notes can not be used during the examination.
