FEM Analysis of a Platform Framing Timber Structure
Abstract
Due to climate changes of the last years, in Europe, there is a tendency of using ecological materials in building constructions. Therefore, timber structures represent a very good solution in reducing the negative environment impacts.
The Platform Framing structural system offers the possibility of constructing new multi-storey buildings. In order to increase the quality of execution and to reduce the time of constructing the building, it can be used prefabricated wood panels as structural walls.
This paper presents a numerical analysis of a multi-storey Platform Framing timber structure by using finite element method. The structure consisting of prefabricated panels is located in IaÅŸi City and it has 3 levels: Ground floor Level + 2 Levels. The numerical analysis of the structure was done by using the commercial structural program Axis VM 12.
