Project group
In 2010 BOB proclaim that they want to build the world’s tallest timber building.
The following project group was established
Sweco – engineering
Artec – architecture
Moelven Limtre – glulam and CLT structures
Kodumaja – building modules

Inspiration from timber bridges
• Technology developed for timber bridges over the last decades opens many doors.
• The experience gained from bridges can be used for tall buildings

Innovative structural system
- Total height 49,4* (52,8) m
- 550 m3 glulam
- 385 m3 CLT produced by the German manufacturer Merk
- The building stands on top of a concrete garage piled to the bedrock
- Light weight building > tension anchorages. 940 kN Drawn in Revit. 3D. BIM
- * Height defined by council on tall buildings and urban habitat

Structural system
4th Forum Wood Building Nordic. Växjö
- Calculated using the software Robot
- Glulam carries allvertical and horizontal loads
- 71 mm max horizontal deflection (Level 14)
- CLT is used in the staircases, elevator shaft (15 st.), some inner walls and balconies, but is not structurally connected to the glulam
- Prefabricated timber frame building modules are inserted in the “cabinet rack”

Concrete slabs
Prefab. concrete slabs in 5., 10. og 13./14. level has several functions:
- Foundation for modules
- Adds mass to the structure which improves the dynamic behavior
- Temporary roof during construction

Structural system
4th Forum Wood Building Nordic. Växjö
- Modules are stacked up to 4storeys, and are only connected to the main structure in the lowest module
- Large glulam sections are block glued
- Typical column: 405x650 and 495x495 mm
- Typical diagonal 405x405 mm.
- Glulam quality GL 30c and GL 30h according to EN 14080
►
- Sweco used glulam trusses for this 5 storey complex in Trondheim in 2005. This was used as a basis for high-rise
Engineering choices
4th Forum Wood Building Nordic. Växjö
►
- To limit the need for maintenance a permanent weather protection system was chosen.
- The north and south facades have glass to protect the timber structure
- The east and south facades have metal cladding
- In this way the timber can be regarded as protected
Engineering choices
4th Forum Wood Building Nordic. Växjö
►
- To reduce the work on site and reduce building time, we wanted to prefabricate as much as possible.

Timber frame modules
Each module / apartment complies with the passive house standard
►
• Modules are stacked up to four levels high
• Single level in the power storey
• The stacked modules are only connected in the bottom to the slabs.

Typical plan
4th Forum Wood Building Nordic. Växjö
►
- Timber is not a pre-accepted material for highrises in Norway. However, Norwegian regulations open up for alternate materials as long as required documentation is produced
- Fire design is done according to the Eurocode.
- Timber can burn. In this project the glulam is so thick that we allow it to burn for 90 minutes without failing. No extra gypsum is used on the glulam.
- All steel connections are hidden inside the timber. In this way it will not fail within the required fire resistance time
- In addition there are sprinklers, pressurized escape stairs and painted surfaces to improve fire safety

Lack of information on dynamic values. Testing was needed!
Norwegian University of Science and Technology, NTNU, performed the tests.
The Estonian company Kodumaja provided modules.
Non destructive testing of similar modules.
Impact hammer and accelerometers.

Results, serviceability

• Residents in the top floors might in rare cases feel vibrations, but it is very unlikely that they will become uncomfortable.
• The chosen structural solution for "The tree" using glulam truss works and stacked prefabricated building modules gives a robust design and most probably insignificant effects from vibrations caused by wind exposure.
Summary of findings, accelerations
4th Forum Wood Building Nordic. Växjö
►
• Install accelerometers and anemometers (to measure wind velocity) (NTNU)
• Measure the actual accelerations and damping
• Accelerometers placed both on the truss work and on the building modules.
This will give unique test results for a timber high-rise.

How was it possible ?
Job owner who was willing to take some risk, but believed in the project.
Early involvement by experienced glulam and module manufacturers.
Cooperation between job owner, architect, engineers and suppliers throughout the process
Political support

Conclusive remarksTimber high-rise is a good
answer to sustainable building in urban areas
The chosen concept is robust and feasible
It’s possible to build lower and higher with this building system
Given a new chance, we would build it again!
Feel free to challenge the world record!
