Abstract
The global construction industry is witnessing a surge in production volumes, particularly in residential construction. To address the growing demand for prefabricated and cost-effective housing, the proposition is to employ glued plywood panels as construction components for building floors and roofs. These panels, comprising a timber frame, plywood skins, and insulation, offer numerous advantages, including low weight and a high strength-to-weight ratio. The objective of this study was to diminish the material consumption of panels by comparing calculations using both the traditional engineering method and the finite element method within a software package. The methodology for calculating and designing glued plywood panels, when employing the engineering method, involves determining the geometric characteristics of the panel sections, accounting for variations in the elastic moduli of wood and plywood. In the numerical calculation, the design method of plate elements of the "ReGridQuad" type was chosen, with the assignment of the required plate thickness. The outcomes of all calculations revealed comparable stress and deflection patterns in structures. The values obtained from both calculations were found to be below the standard ones. Research in this domain underscores the significance of numerical calculation methods in enhancing the quality of glued plywood panels, rendering them more competitive in the building materials market.
