Current directions in development of modern wood-framed houses

Abstract

Realization of the wood-framed buildings in Europe and in the Nord America are discussed in the introduction to presented paper. Current directions in realizations of single family, multifamily and the other purpose the wood-framed buildings are outlined in paper. Paper describes formation of structural building elements industrially constructed and then dispatched to site. Next part of the paper presents analytical models applied in analysis of internal forces in structure. Numerical model is based on the assumptions of the finite element method. Paper contains exampled application of numerical model in 3D analysis of modular element built-in as the lower segment of multistorey and multifamily building. Summary and conclusions are ending the paper.
