On September 26 and 27, a second edition of the course “From theory to practice” on training in the assembly of structural timber structures was held at the Escuela Técnica de Ingeniería de Edificación (Technical School of Building Engineering). Taught by the Italian company based in Spain, Rothoblass, the course included relevant aspects such as the potential of CLT; Material, production and organization on site; Connections in CLT structures; Acoustics in wooden structures. Solutions; Flat roof in wood structure. Waterproofing; Waterproofing and waterproofing; Assembly of windows, as well as an assembly workshop in the gardens of the School, which on this occasion has been developed under the prototype of mixed wood-concrete system MCLamBS.
The availability of trained assembly operators is essential for the creation of an ecosystem of industrialized construction with wood.
The course has been developed within the framework of the Iberolam Timber Academy platform of the Iberolam spinoff launched through the LIFE Wood for Future project for the transfer of knowledge generated in the project.
Thanks to the collaboration between the ETS of Building Engineering and the research group UIMA (Structural Wood Research Unit of Andalusia), the course has been successfully developed in all its facets, with 30 students in this edition, twice as many as in the first one, which demonstrates the growing interest of the sector and the need for a permanent training center.
The breakfast was attended by Yaiza Fuentes, a researcher from the UIMA-University of Granada laboratory, a recent doctor who has carried out the mandatory mechanical tests to incorporate poplar into the Spanish and European structural wood standards. During the debate, Yaiza Fuentes spoke about the progress of the project and the importance of the University as an agent to give added value to poplar trees and their wood.
La investigadora Yaiza Fuentes García, Ingeniera de Edificación por la Universidad de Granada, defendió ayer la tesis doctoral titulada “Caracterización mecánica de clones de chopo MC y Luisa Avanzo y su viabilidad para laminados estructurales” en el Salón de Grados de la ETS de Ingeniería de Edificación de la Universidad de Granada (UGR).
El 14 y 15 de mayo de 2025 se celebrará el 5º Fórum de Construcción con Madera en el Palacio de Congresos Baluarte de Pamplona. Dos días para conocer el presente y futuro de la construcción industrializada y sostenible; así como para conectar con los principales agentes del sector de la madera.
The poplar crop has been the protagonist of one of the four days of the course on “New crops and alternative crops” promoted by the Escuela Familiar Agraria (EFA) El Soto located in Chauchina. The Escuela Familiar Agraria (EFA) “El Soto” is a vocational training center whose mission is to achieve the development of the rural environment.
