Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present a methodology for increasing the material recyclability of wooden beam structures. The methodology was developed as part of a research project in which the deconstructability of wooden beam structures of agricultural halls was investigated. The load bearing structure of six agricultural halls was documented and the connection points of their main structure were evaluated with regard to their recyclability. In the following, it will be investigated to what extent the choice of fasteners is relevant with regard to the recyclability of the timber. For further development the methodology could be applied to other beam structures such as roof trusses or a combination of plates and beam structures such as wood panel construction.
