Tiivistelmä
The purpose of this Bachelor’s thesis is to demonstrate how to design and perform a structural analysis of a two apartment house. This thesis also aimed at providing a manual for designing a timber structure and calculating the stability of structural elements based on the principal loads that affect the structural integrity of these elements and the structure as a whole.
The case study timber building consists of two main systems. In one direction, the building is presented as a one-story apartment, with a basement that will be used as a living space, while the other direction is a two-story apartment, where the basement has in principle its main function, but not as a living space. This thesis will address the second design of the building, where the practical part involves the design of joists, beams, columns, and problem solving encountered in the project. Further, the practical part corresponds to the use of software such as AutoCAD, Mathcad, and RFEM.
As a result, this thesis will serve as an evaluation process of the overall covered processes, where at the end, a document with all the calculations will be attached in the form of an appendix.
