Theory meets practice in timber education

The Chair of Timber Engineering and Building Construction at Mainz University of Applied Sciences, and Rothoblaas srl offered a workshop on connection technology. In the first part of the workshop, the students of the Timber Construction class in the Master’s degree program were informed about the state of the art in connection technology in timber engineering, especially for mass timber buildings, by Jonathan Fries. They were then able to see for themselves how easy the SPIDER connector is to install.

The practical experience days for the team of the timber research group were a complete success and we had an eventful week in the Black Forest near the Swiss border. Many thanks to all organizers and participants from the Mainz University of Applied Sciences and the team from Holzbauforschung Mainz, especially to Stefan Kudermann from Zentrum Holzbau Schwarzwald gGmbH and Bernhard Tritschler from Holzbau Amann GmbH.
