      • 4. Structural design of timber elements EC5

        Cristina Tirteu, Häme University of Applied Sciences

        Design

        In the Eurocode series of European standards (EN) related to construction, Eurocode 5: Design of timber structures (abbreviated EN 1995 or, informally, EC 5) describes how to design buildings and civil engineering works in timber, using the limit state design philosophy. The lecture will give a general overview about the Ultimate limit state design (ULS) and Serviceability limit state (SLS).

      • 5. Fire Safety Design of Sustainable Timber Structure

        Cristina Tirteu, Häme University of Applied Sciences

        Fire safety

        Circular building design can help to reduce the consumption of nonrenewable raw materials, which can lead to depletion of material stocks, toxic emissions, and waste. There is a contradiction between circular- and fire safety design. Circular design focuses on reducing the impact of material use, and fire safety design focuses on reducing the fire risk. The key aspect for including the fire safety design in a circular build environment is the understanding of the influence of the fire safety design on the balance between material use and fire risk in mass timber buildings.
