Architectural flexibility and easier assembly of wooden constructions
Technology
A novel moment‑resisting timber connection consisting of a semi-rigid connection of inclined screwed-in threaded rods and steel coupling parts, connected with friction bolts.
Market
Estimated marked size in Norwegian student homes, apartment buildings and public schools 150 MNOK
Uniqueness
Driven by the demand for greener constructions this connection allows lower building times, reduced carbon footprint and better earthquake resistance.
The connection allows greater architectural flexibility, easier assembly and disasembly and reuseability of materials.
Status
- Prototype verified.
- Patent pending.
