Circular Timber Construction - Sandra Schuster;Stephan Birk

Circular Timber Construction introduces fundamental principles and concepts such as the shear-layer model, system separation, and Design for Disassembly. It bridges current research with built examples from practice. Topics include circular planning and manufacturing processes, business models, and digital documentation, as well as constructive solutions for reversible connections and joinery. Through the presentation of contemporary buildings and their construction details, the book illustrates how circular timber construction can be successfully implemented in practice. Complemented by advanced approaches to assessment and implementation, it provides architects, engineers, and planners with a comprehensive guide to resource-efficient building using renewable materials.
