Abstract
An engineered wood structural system including multiple vertical structural elements (10) and multiple horizontal structural elements (20, 120), wherein multiple horizontal structural elements (20, 120) of the same floor level are supported on the same structural node and are rigidly connected to each other through an upper connector (40) at least partially overlapped, and attached, to all the horizontal structural elements (20, 120) supported in the structural node to transfer horizontal traction loads between the upper horizontal boards (21) of the connected horizontal structural elements (20, 120).
Claims14
An engineered wood structural system made of engineered wood components, the engineered wood components comprising:
- at least one vertical structural element with several structural nodes on different vertical positions, corresponding to different floor levels;
- multiple horizontal structural elements, each made up of an upper horizontal board and a lower horizontal board facing each other, separated to each other in a vertical direction and rigidly connected to each other through second spacers comprised between the upper and lower horizontal boards;
- the multiple horizontal structural elements of the same floor level are supported on the same structural node and are rigidly connected to each other through an upper connector at least partially overlapped, and attached, to all the horizontal structural elements supported in the structural node to transfer horizontal traction loads between the upper horizontal boards of the connected horizontal structural elements;
- and
- the multiple horizontal structural elements supported on the same structural node are rigidly connected to each other also through a lower connector placed between the horizontal structural elements converging in the structural node and in close contact with them to transfer horizontal compression loads between the converging horizontal structural elements.
