Lightweight hybrid wooden composite materials for sustainable construction technology

During the project a new construction technology was created and implemented. For this purpose, 2 experimental stands were developed and manufactured, 8 basic construction elements were tested, 2 constructions test samples for full-scale testing were manufactured and 16 test reports were carried out.

In order to assess the technology, the project team made a comparative analysis of mechanical, physical, durability, flammability and aesthetic characteristics with reference material, e.g. wood, metal or plastic used for construction and an economic evaluation report.

In the course of the project 20 constructions on 5 new tourist routes were installed in Vepssky Forest, in Russia and 4 constructions were installed in Lappeenranta, Finland. In addition, various sculptures were also manufactured during the project and those located in Vepssky Forest.

Project results, especially knowledge about the new material, were disseminated in different ways throughout the project. Emphasis was put on two international seminars organized by the project and several publications in scientific journals.
