One of many designs we undertook for
Cowley Timberwork. The Structural Engineer for the
project as a whole was Buro Happold. Our role has been to
design the glulam timber rooflight dome.The roof consits of glulam
ribs brought together at steel ring nodes as illustrated
left. Moment continuity was provided by a couple between
the single shearlock bolt and the structural Laminated
Veneer Lumber (LVL) boarding. The stiffness of this
composite joint was modelled for a computer buckling
analysis using the design models developed in house for
this project.
