The project presented in the Training school aims at the development of a new solution for an universal connector in CLT timber structures, which offers the possibility of quick and easy installation and assembly, as well as easy disassembly and reuse. This solution

shall contribute to the necessary reconstruction of the damages in Ukraine and facilitate the quick restoration of housing as well as providing a long-lasting sustainable and circular connection solutions. The developed connector is a unit in the form of a steel

plate on glued-in rods, that are embedded in the CLT panels. This allows to connect CLT panels in various arrangements together or to other building parts such as foundations or concrete cores. Connections with glued-in rods are widely used in Eastern European

countries, especially in long-span timber structures for buildings of various types.

The project ReConnect - Efficient connections for modular prefabricated timber buildings to help reconstruction in Ukraine, that is funded by Swedish Institute (SI),

The project has the objective to develop a novel connection system for timber members that makes it possible to adopt the concepts of reusability, adaptability and circularity of members in timber structures. By optimizing the connection layout, we intend to enhance the performance towards low damage and to avoid brittle failure modes in the

timber. The project will reduce the complexity of high-performance connections for timber buildings and lower the entrance barrier towards the use of timber in structures.
