The project in five facts.
Challenge, approach and results.
Designing houses and other structures requires thorough knowledge and understanding of laws, regulations and extensive knowledge in the field of civil engineering and the Autocad computer programme. In the diploma thesis, I examine regulations and laws in the field of civil engineering. The design of these standards is based on the latest findings and achievements in the field of timber structures. The analysis procedures take into account the valid recommendations and requirements that apply to such structures.
Problem
Designing houses and other structures requires thorough knowledge and understanding of laws, regulations and extensive knowledge in the field of civil engineering and the Autocad computer programme. In the diploma thesis, I examine regulations and laws in the field of civil engineering. Modern standards for designing load-bearing structures – ** Eurocodes** – are currently in use in Slovenia.
The design of buildings and engineering structures is based on Eurocode 5.
Solution and Method
The design of these standards is based on the latest findings and achievements in the field of timber structures. When designing, it is important to refer to other Eurocodes, especially Eurocode 1, which defines actions on structures. The use of timber for building structures has been increasing in Slovenia in recent years.
More and more people are becoming aware of the advantages offered by timber construction. Timber can be used for high-rise structures as well as for residential buildings. The use of timber depends on its properties.
The purpose of the diploma thesis is to design a timber log cabin, calculate the effects of wind and snow on the structure and carry out a computational analysis of the constituent structural elements for the roof. The analysis is presented from the initial determination of loads to the final dimensioning of the structural elements of the roof.
Results
The analysis procedures take into account the valid recommendations and requirements that apply to such structures.
