Abstract

The reduction of CO2 emissions and the enhancement of resource efficiency have emerged as significant motivators for research and development activities. One particular area of interest in sustainable building materials is moulded wood tubes, which offer the benefits of wood as a renewable resource and the material efficiency of composite construction. These tubes are well-suited for lightweight structures that are subject to dynamic and static loading. This paper proposes a method for joining thin-walled wooden elements with node elements composed of fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP) that incorporates integrally manufactured multilayer 3D fabrics that are adaptable to the component geometry. The investigation includes both experimental and numerical approaches to establish the load-bearing capacity of such connections. Experimental tests were conducted on specimens of different sizes under tension, while numerical models were developed to assess the load-bearing behaviour of small and large scale tests, as well as perform static verifications. The proposed solution has potential applications in the fabrication of a solar roof demonstrator. The results suggest that the use of FRP for connecting moulded wood tubes is a viable approach.
