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).

This study aimed to assess the potential of the modular offsite construction method as an approach that could promote the design and construction process of post-disaster reconstruction in New Zealand in emergencies.

The goal of this study is to propose a method for the architectural design of wood houses in Portugal. Construction and manufacturing companies were interviewed to understand the wood house market. A case study was developed by simulating four variations of a project, including different wood construction systems (wood frame, post and beam, logs, and cross-laminated timber).

Fusta sense llei

Study that aims to ensure the mechanical resistance and stability of wooden structures and elements, in the field of their application, from the project, the execution to their maintenance.

A comparison of already existing temporary shelters for displaced persons.

In this paper, shear tests on small specimens of CLT panels placed on polyurethane elastomer insulation bedding and
fastened to CLT floor with innovative insulated steel angle bracket are presented.

This research compares the residential building stock and
identifies potential types of buildings for energy refurbishment in Bosnia and Herzegovina and
Slovenia. It presents refurbishment possibilities of existing residential building stock in both
countries with prefabricated timber panels. It also presents potential obstacles to the wider
application of this refurbishment solution.

Pre-fabricated Material for Modular House

Introduction of some of the existing prefabricated panels.

The purpose of this research is to produce a technical design for the Special House as a
reference in the optimal and efficient physical construction.

This study investigates timber connections with flexible polyurethane adhesives, which prove to have the potential for timber-adhesive composite structures without mechanical connections for seismic regions.

This review includes literature studies and personal experiences related to relevant technological variables
defining glue bond performance in glue-laminated timber elements during their service life.
