| Schedule and Contents |
Weeks 1 to 4: Wood as a building material Introduction of the material properties and applications of various materials constituting a wooden structure. The sessions will introduce various types and examples of wooden structures, such as homes and large-scale structures using wood materials, and outline the characteristics and problems of wood as a structural material, in reference to previously published studies. Weeks 5 to 9: Joint connections in wooden structures The sessions will examine various connection methods used in wooden structures, including fitting, adhesive bonding, metal joint connection, and hybrid joint connection. The mechanisms of strength expression and the methods of calculating strength and rigidity will be explained. In addition, the relationship between the degradation and strength of wood will be discussed. Weeks 10 to 12: Structural components of a wooden structure The sessions will focus on the mechanical properties of structural components that make up a wooden structure, such as bearing walls, roof planes, floor planes, and joints for large cross sections, as well as the methods of calculating their strength and rigidity. Weeks 13 to 15: Structural analysis of wooden buildings The sessions will discuss how structural analyses are conducted using the members, joints, bearing walls, and other components introduced in previous classes. Findings from the analyses will be explained. The content and order of course materials may be modified in some cases. |
