Sommario/riassunto

Holzbauten werden heute dank leistungsfähiger Verbundkonstruktionen aus Holz und Stahl oder Beton weit jenseits der Hochhausgrenze errichtet. Ein Ende des Höhenwachstums ist kaum absehbar. Auch im Wohnungs- und Bürobau, bei Sporthallen, Industriebauten und Brücken sind Holzkonstruktionen auf dem Vormarsch. Sie gelten als Inbegriff nachhaltigen Bauens und sind durch neue, rationelle Vorfertigungsverfahren auch in puncto Baukosten wettbewerbsfähig. Das Buch „Natur + Struktur – Holztragwerke“ zeigt die aktuelle Entwicklung der Tragwerksplanung mit Holz anhand von rund 20 herausragenden Ingenieurbauten. An der Planung beteiligte Ingenieure beschreiben die Konzeption der Tragwerke sowie individuelle Lösungen für ihre Realisierung. Fachbeiträge aus Forschung und Technik runden das Werk ab.

Thanks to high-performance composite structures made of wood and steel or concrete, wooden buildings are now being erected far beyond the high-rise boundaries. An end to the increase in altitude is hardly in sight. Wooden constructions are also on the uptrend in residential and office construction, sports halls, industrial buildings and bridges. They are the epitome of sustainable building and, thanks to new



prefabrication processes, are also competitive in terms of construction costs. The book shows the current development of structural planning with wood on the basis of around 20 outstanding engineering structures. The engineers involved in the planning describe the conception of the supporting structures as well as individual solutions for their implementation.
