Structural design
Structural design makes a building safe and economical. We specialise in the design of CLT structures – and if needed, we calculate the entire building.
What we calculate
- preliminary design already at concept stage
- structural calculations for the permit and for construction, in a form suitable for independent checking
- design to Eurocode 5 with finite element analysis
- span and deflection
- floor vibration, so that the floor is comfortable in everyday use
- design of connections and fasteners
- seismic design
- fire resistance: how long a CLT element carries its load in a fire
- building physics modelling
- if needed, the structural design of the entire building, not only of the timber structure
Acoustic design and fire safety planning: with partner offices experienced in CLT.
Why it pays off
An economical structure
With precise calculations, the building gets as much material as it needs.
Comfortable, safe spaces
We take vibration, fire and earthquakes into account, not only the loads.
All calculations in one place
The CLT structure and, if needed, the whole building are designed by one team.
