Abstract
The invention relates to a method for the cambering of a wooden element, comprising the steps of: cutting to form at least one incision in a surface of the wooden element; inserting an expansive material into the at least one incision of the wooden element; letting the expansive material expand in the at least one incision so that a cambering of the wooden element is achieved.
Claims24
A method for cambering a timber element, comprising the following steps:
- cutting at least one incision into a surface of the timber element;
- inserting an expansive material into the at least one incision of the timber element;
- allowing the expansive material to expand in the at least one incision, with the result that a cambering of the timber element is achieved.
A method for producing a ceiling or a roof, comprising the following steps:
- cutting at least one incision into a surface of at least one timber element;
- inserting an expansive material into the at least one incision of the at least one timber element;
- allowing the expansive material to expand in the at least one incision, with the result that a cambering of the timber element is achieved,
- producing the ceiling or the roof with the at least one cambered timber element.
A cambered timber element comprising:
- at least one incision in a surface of the timber element, wherein the at least one incision is filled with an expanded expansive material;
- wherein the surface of the cambered timber element has a plurality of micro-notches, which, in a cross section which extends at a right angle to the longitudinal axis of the micro-notches, are formed in a wedge-shaped manner with a short cut side and a lone cut side, wherein the micro-notches have a depth which is less than 10 mm and a width which is less than 100 mm.
A timber composite ceiling comprising:
- a cambered timber element;
- and
- a layer of a composite material on the surface of the cambered timber element, wherein the cambered timber element has at least one incision in a surface of the timber element, wherein the at least one incision is filled with an expanded expansive material, wherein the surface of the cambered timber element has a plurality of micro-notches, which, in a cross section which extends at a right angle to the longitudinal axis of the micro-notches, are formed in a wed e-shaped manner with a short cut side and a long cut side, wherein the micro-notches have a depth which is less than 10 mm and a width which is less than 100 mm.
