Comparison of Fasteners and Joining Techniques in Modular Timber Construction

Abstract

This paper presents the thesis work conducted by Dominik Auclair from Jade UAS, Oldenburg, Germany. The work includes research findings from his internship work at Karelia UAS for the ''Sustainable Building Technologies- Community of Practice'' (SBTCP) project and further research in comparing different fasteners, joining techniques for modular timber construction. The SBTCP project by Karelia UAS in collaboration with Salzburg UAS and Jade UAS aims to enhance the sustainable development of timber construction through using advanced expertise and technologies.
