I like this structure design....also laminating the steel between....leaves the rustic timber aesthetic feel.....clever Naill.👏👏.....jimmy🪽
But the steel compression fibers are already laterally restrained by the purlins 🤔
Steel flat bar, not steel plate. This is two timber members sandwiching a steel flat bar. We love a nicely detailed flitch beam. Nice post.
Also Timber is better in a fire as the steel warps.
Why wouldn’t you just use i beams
Better than a laminated beam?
Sure .buf expensive
That’s not a timber frame
Good way to trap moisture and ruin both?
You could use shear ring or saw tooth connectors and use much less timber
You know what would be better then wood? Concrete.... Fuck I hate would as a structural material its Soo bloody stupid.
just use steel
The grass roof is intriguing!
