Design and Environmental impact of an office building made by steel and timber
Session
Civil Engineering, Infrastructure and Environment
Description
The modern challenges in constructions represent an important value based on the choice of construction material. Different aspects should be taken into account, engineering structural aspect, exposure conditions which are related with durability, and not the less, the environmental impact based on the chosen typology of construction material.
A comparison between two typical structural materials such as steel and timber have been compared such in the structural and environmental impact, based also in the cost and other parameters, all this for the same building office. These materials are highly used in this field but not always have been clarified their impact.
Based on a structural and numerical analysis of timber and steel construction, for the same building, up to the details of connections, cross-sections of the elements, up to the calculation of quantities and their comparison, offer us a clear information about its impact which directly affect the decision of the investment and then the construction typology.
Also, when applied the dynamic loads but being different materials we also gain different results.
Keywords:
Wood structures, metal structures, use, construction, dimensioning, comparison, loads, connections, joints.
