Innovate designs of wooden beams for buildings and structures in the arctic zone of Russia

Abstract

The possibility of using wooden beams for ceilings and coatings in buildings and structures in the Arctic zone of Russia is studied. The innovative developments of wooden beams reinforced by steel elements and composite materials, protected by patents, their advantages, and the peculiarities of the proposed structures are analyzed. The load-carrying capacity calculations of several beam variants according to the existing methods, including the use of calculation complexes, are performed. The main advantages and directions of the rational application of innovative beams in the load-bearing elements of buildings and structures are revealed and confirmed. A comparison of material intensity, the labor intensity of manufacturing, and the reliability of operation of innovative and traditional load-bearing structures have been carried out.
