Sorry, this entry is only available in Deutsch<\/a>.<\/p>

It is well known that timber structures succeed or fail in their
\nconnections and significant technical advances and developments in the
\nfield of timber connections have fostered the recent renaissance of
\ntimber as a structural material. Self-tapping screws are prominent
\namongst these innovations. They increase timber’s potential by enabling
\nstrong, stiff and economic connections, widening the range for
\nstructural applications. An increased range of connection types and
\ncorresponding applications gives designers both opportunity and
\nchallenge. The result is a noticeable trend towards systemized solutions
\n enabling quick and reliable assembly on site.
The behaviour of
\nstructures must be both reliable and safe and, for this reason,
\nconstruction is highly controlled. This poses the challenge that
\ninnovation has to take place inside a framework of regulation. A lack of
\n standardized design and construction principles for new developments
\ncould result in a variety of applied approaches that might lead to a
\nlower reliability of structures at higher cost. A core objective for
\nCOST Action FP1402 is to provide the knowledge and methods necessary to
\nbring these new developments into regulated building practice.
The
\nobjective of this Conference is to record the current state-of-the-art
\nfor connections in timber engineering, and to illustrate how new
\ndevelopments will be adopted in the next generation of Timber Design
\nStandards (e.g. Eurocode 5:2022). It is an opportunity to hear
\npresentations from some of the world’s leading experts and to join
\ndiscussions on the design, application and performance of Connections in
\n Timber Engineering. There will be presentations on current performance
\nindicators, (e.g. strength, stiffness and ductile vs. brittle failure
\nmodes), as well as applications of connections in cross-laminated timber
\n and timber-concrete composite structures. The Conference will also
\ninclude presentations on current developments of design rules (e.g. for
\nbrittle failure modes, reinforcement and seismic design) and give an
\noutlook on the potential of numerical modelling and probabilistic
\nmethods for future design of efficient and reliable connections.
It
\nis intended that this COST Action FP1402 Conference will contribute to a
\n high-quality and open scientific and technical dialogue within the
\ntimber engineering community. It thereby adheres to the main principle
\nof the COST Programme, which is to strengthen Europe in scientific and
\ntechnological research, for peaceful purposes, through the support of
\ncooperation and interaction between researchers and practitioners.
For
\n many years, the team of the Institute of Timber Engineering and Wood
\nTechnology at Graz University of Technology has been working at the
\nforefront of timber engineering research and innovation. In 2013, in
\ncollaboration with COST Action FP1004, they hosted a very successful
\n\u201cConference on Cross Laminated Timber\u201d. For this current Conference on
\n\u201cConnections in Timber Engineering\u201d, Graz University of Technology, with
\n COST Action FP1402, is once again bringing together researchers and
\npractitioners from around the world to increase understanding of current
\n and future timber connection research and to discuss applications.
