Atrium house is a mass timber structure that has been developed for the purposes of the course to calculate the structural analysis alternatives.
3D AXONOMETRIC & DRAWINGS
CONSTRUCTIVE PLAN
PRE-DIMENSIONING TOOLS
In order to calculate the general dimensions of the structure we use the predimension tools of Fast + Epp and more specifically Timber Bay and member Calculator.
CALCULATIONS
For this, it is developed a 3d model in order to analyze the different timber components of the structure and propose the most appropriate dimensions.
The 3 options developed are the following:
- Option 1: Glulam columns + Glulam beams
- Option 2: CLT
- Option 3: LVL
OPTION A – INTERMEDIATE FLOOR – OPTION B WALKABLE DECK ROOF – OPTION C PITCHED ROOF
The selection of components has been selected from the DATAHOLZ database.
