HoP_HoVer: Towards an advantage for timber construction through the development of high-performance timber structures using new structural connection solutions (Research)

The goal of the HoP_HoVer project is to transfer new insights to the broader timber construction sector and in particular to design offices, regarding the mechanical behavior of timber structures and, specifically, their structural connections. In this way, more, more efficient, safer, and more circular timber structures can be designed and built. The knowledge transfer is achieved through supporting design tools such as software, online tutorials, and model solutions. The knowledge will be validated and demonstrated using experimental test setups, including a demonstrator in which the investigated connection solutions are implemented.
