This is the main output of the Sustainable Modular Houses for People in Need, Project Number: 2021-1-EL01-KA220-VET-000025502. The “research–knowledge hub” (RKH) is an electronic library developed and created for containing detailed items of applied research in the field of timber construction design principles, circular economy, sustainable development and material availability in different regions of Europe.

RKH is an innovative tool for bibliographic search, an electronic library in all languages of the partners in which the project partners have uploaded complete methods of construction (assembly and disassembly), studies, reports, practical guides and case studies which are expected to assist on finding all the necessary resources under one umbrella. The purpose of the RKH is to be a valuable tool in the hands of both researchers but mostly for the professionals who are actually involved in the whole phase of delivering a modular unit for people in need (from design to construction).

Timber structures and wood products

This chapter presents an overview of the occupancy groups in buildings and the types of timber structures that can be used to design and construct these buildings. Obviously, the types of construction presented in this chapter may have different names in different countries, but the fundamentals and design principles remain essentially the same.

CLT Technical broshure Stora Enzo

A guide on CLT, structural applications, building physics, structural analysis and project management for this engineered material

A repair and strengthening programme is presented to make the repairs to the failed member and upgrade the remainder of a glued laminated beam in a school.

This paper introduces briefly the product cross laminated timber (CLT) and outlines the development and basics of this European engineered timber product, innovated to be used as large-sized stand-alone structural element for load-bearing purposes.

Glulam technical guide Rosboro

This technical guide about Glued Laminated Timber (GLULAM), addresses important design considerations, and includes a guide of recommended specifications. It also highlights just a few of the many applications where glulam is used in today’s construction.

Potential approaches for fire retarding timber are reviewed, identifying two main approaches: char formation and isolating layers.
