Fire behaviour of cross-laminated solid timber panels
Cross-laminated solid timber panels represent an interesting technical and economical product for modern timber structures. The fire behaviour of cross-laminated solid timber panels can be strongly influenced by the behaviour of the bonding adhesive. Objective of the research project is the development of a calculation model for the fire resistance of cross-laminated solid timber panels taking into account the behaviour of the bonding adhesive at high temperature.
Fire behaviour of glued-laminated timber beams
The structural behaviour of glued-laminated timber beams is strongly influenced by the behaviour of finger joints. The behaviour of the adhesive used for bonding can influence the fire resistance of glued-laminated timber beams. The aim of the research project is the development of a calculation model for the fire resistance of glued-laminated timber beams taking into account the behaviour of the bonding adhesive at high temperature.
Influence of local strain - differences on the bearing capacity of Glulam
The aim of this project is to develop a probabilistic, parametric model to describe the mechanical performance of glulam. In this model the parameters, such as material properties of board sections, distances between knots and distances between finger joints are represented probabilistically.
Structural behavior of glued-laminated timber members subjected to axial compression or combined compression and bending
The project aims at the development of fundamental knowledge and advanced calculation models for the design of glued laminated timber members subjected to axial compression or combined compression and bending based on 2nd order analysis.
Structural behavior of glued-laminated timber beams with nothes at the support or with holes
The project aims at the development of fundamental knowledge and advanced calculation models for the design of glued laminated timber members with notches at support or with holes. Particular attention will be given to the identification and analysis of key parameters.
Post-tensioned timber structures
The aim of the research project is the development of post-tensioned timber structures. As first step an innovative post-tensioned beam-column timber joint was developed using glulam timber and local strengthening with hardwood in cooperation with the industrial partners Häring AG and Roth AG.
Reliable timber and innovative wood products for structures - Structural elements of wood and wood products made of beech
The project aims at developing sustainable innovative and reliable timber structures using laminated veneer lumber (LVL) made of beech wood.
Fire behaviour of timber connections
The objective of the project is the development of advanced and simplified calculation models for the fire design of timber connections.
Flächentragwerk aus Laubholz
Der Neubau der Versuchsanstalt für Wasserbau, Hydrologie und Glaziologie (VAW) auf dem ETH Hönggerberg stellt eine gute Gelegenheit zur Entwicklung und Umsetzung von Innovationen im Laubholzbau dar. Zielsetzung des Projektes ist die Entwicklung und Umsetzung eines Flächentragwerkes aus Laubholz.
Structural behaviour of glued-laminated timber reinforced with fibres
The project’s aim is to develop basic input data and advanced calculation models for the design of glued-laminated timber members reinforced with fibres. Because of the positive effect of the reinforcement, the influence of the large variation of the mechanical properties of wood can be reduced.
Application of combustible insulation materials in buildings
The use of combustible insulation materials in buildings is limited due to fire regulations. The aim of the project is to enlarge the experimental background on the fire behaviour of combustible insulation materials and to provide design rules for an extended use in buildings.
Fire performance of concrete made of blended cement in comparison to ordinary Portland cement
The aim of the research project is to enlarge the theoretical and experimental background on the fire performance of concrete made of blended cement in comparison to ordinary Portland. Particular attention is given the reduction of concrete strength at high temperatures and during the cooling phase. The temperature dependent stress-strain relationships measured will be used as material input parameters for further analysis.
Application of fire protective coatings on concrete elements
Spalling of concrete may significantly decrease the fire resistance of concrete structures exposed to fire, in particular in the case of high- and ultrahigh-strength concrete. Coatings applied like paint to the concrete surface creates a highly effective thermal barrier for fire, reducing the risk of spalling. The aim of the research project is to enlarge the theoretical and experimental background of the fire behaviour of fire protective coatings applied to concrete and to develop a design model for the calculation of the fire resistance of concrete elements protected by coatings.

A selection of completed research projects

I was involved in the following completed research projects:

Fire in Timber
FireInTimber is a current project within the European WoodWisdom-Net framework with 14 participants from 9 countries. The project is supported by industry through the European initiative BWW Building With Wood and public funding organisations. The key objective is to provide new possibilities for wood products in construction by proper fire design.
Fire Behaviour of Timber Slabs and Timber Surfaces with Perforations
The research project looks at the design methods for timber floors for a fire resistance of 60 and more minutes. Further the influence of perforations on the fire performance of timber structures was also studied. The results form a basis for a reconsideration of the use of timber in multi-storey buildings.
Fire Behaviour of Light Timber Frame Wall Assemblies
The aim of the research project is to enlarge the theoretical and experimental background of the fire behaviour of light timber frame wall assemblies. The assemblies considered consist of solid timber members (studs) and linings of gypsum plasterboards or wood based panels (or combinations), with or without cavity insulation made of rock or glass fibres.
Fire Resistance of Timber Connections:
The aim of the research project is to develop design models for fire resistance of 30 and 60 minutes for timber connections.
Fire Resistance of Timber-Concrete Composite Slabs:
It is the aim of the research project to develop resistance models for the fire resistance of timber concrete-composite slabs and to verify them by fire tests. Further construction details are developed to improve the fire behaviour of such slabs. The results form a basis for a reconsideration of the use of timber in multi-storey buildings.
Structural behaviour of steel columns subjected to fire:
Local buckling mainly influences the structural behaviour and the resistance of steel columns in fire. The research aims at providing fundamental knowledge of this structural behaviour and developing calculation methods for local-global buckling interaction of steel members in fire. The research includes theoretical, numerical and experimental analysis. An extensive testing program will be performed on compact and thin-walled steel stub columns and columns at elevated temperatures.
Local buckling behaviour of steel sections subjected to fire:
Local buckling under fire conditions needs to be considered in the context of a wider range of cross-sectional slenderness than in ambient temperature design. A new strain-based approach has been developed which uses effective widths for stiffened and unstiffened elements at elevated temperatures. The resulting strain-based formulations avoid the use of section classes for fire design, and take into consideration the plasticifation effects, plastic stress distribution, and strain-dependent non-linear material behaviour of steel at high temperatures.
Composite slab system with integrated installation floor
The aim of the research project is the development of a new composite slab system with integrated installation floor. The composite floor system is based on half cellular steel beams made of hot-rolled sections that are cast into the concrete. The main advantage of the new composite floor system is the integration of the raised installation floor into the slab without additional costs.
