Review article

For the prospective development of life in the Arctic zone and the territories of the Far North of Russia, research is needed on the design and development of technologies for the construction of buildings and structures for various purposes. This article considers and analyzes the presently used cross-beam systems made of laminated timber and the principles of calculating these systems. Analytical calculations were carried out, which made it possible to identify the optimal design for the location of the rod system, including the one which significantly reduces the total structural weight. Furthermore, on the basis of the calculations, there was determined the most progressive way of solving the geometric parameters of the spatial rod structure. The technology of installation of laminated wood structures is proposed, and the possibility of its application in the construction of buildings and structures in the severe conditions of the Arctic and the Far North is discussed.
