10 Advantages o KVH, Duobalken and Triobalken 36
1 A high-precision material
Building with wood has a long tradition. Over the
thousands o years o mans development, build-
ings constructed o wood have repeatedly proved
their value throughout the centuries, not only
or providing comortable shelter but or their
durability as well.
Better than required by the standards
Technical directives, regulations relating to build-
ing physics, changes in attitudes to the use o
energy and more exacting quality standards or
housing all mean that the requirements to be
met by building materials are high. With the diver-
sication o the timber construction industry over
recent decades into timber rame building and
preabricated timber panel construction, demand
or high-quality construction timber has grown
enormously. Modern timber construction requires
dimensionally stable, kiln-dried structural timber
with precise dimensions. As the production tech-
nology in carpenters shops has changed, with
CNC-controlled trimming lines now commonplace,
so materials with clearly dened specications
have become a precondition or smooth produc-
tion processes. This is also refected in the current
stipulations in the relevant standards.
The requirements set out in the agreement on
KVH structural timber are actually ar more
stringent than those contained in the related
standards, as explained below.
Technological advantages
The development o KVH structural timber
and Duobalken and Triobalken beams means
that customers are now able to count on high-
precision materials which are available ex stock
in numerous dimensions and lengths in the orm
o kiln-dried, dimensionally stable and planed or
exactly sized products.
KVH, Duobalken and Triobalken are protected
brand names. Quality controls during the produc-
tion o KVH structural timber are perormed
according to the strict rules o the berwachungs-
gemeinschat KVH, which also monitors that the
rules are properly ollowed. The quality control
stipulations o the monitoring group are set out
in an agreement made with the Federation o
German Master Carpenters (Bund Deutscher Zim-
mermeister [BDZ]). Duobalken and Triobalken
laminated beams must meet the requirements
or the general technical approval o the German
building authorities as assessed by the Deutsche
Institut r Bautechnik (DIBt).

KVH structural timber
Solid timber or exposed and non-
exposed applications which is visually
graded or machine graded and is kiln-
dried, planed or exactly sized1) and co-
mes with defned dimensional stability.
As a general rule KVH is fnger-jointed.
It is normally supplied in lengths o 13
m, but longer lengths are available on
request.
1) Exactly sized: Planed to size ater
drying, without any guarantee o
smoothly planed out suraces.
Duobalken und Triobalken
Laminated beams in accordance
with DIN 1052 which have the same
properties as KVH and are made o
either two or three individual lengths
o wood with identical cross-sections
which are glued together. The indivi-
dual lengths o wood are also fnger-
jointed like KVH. They are normally
supplied in lengths o 13 m, but longer
lengths are available on request.

2 Production and technical characteristics
In the production o KVH, Duobalken and Trio-
balken, only sotwood o the hig hest quality is
used or primary conversion to rough beams on
state-o-the-art chipper and circular saw lines. The
waste wood rom the process, such as bark, chop-
ped wood and chips, is completely used up in the
generation o energy and in the production o pa-
per or derived timber products. Ater drying in ully
automated, computer-controlled kilns, the timber
is strength graded. Growth non-conormities which
could reduce the strength o the product are cut
out o the beams and the ends are then re-joined
with nger-joints. This is an eective method or
the resource-saving utilization o the wood which
also results in optimized wood characteristics.
Ater the nger-jointing (subject to length this
can be dispensed with on request) the pieces
o timber are cross cut to length and planed or
leveled to an exact size. F or Duobalken and Trio-
balken beams this is ollowed by the gluing to-
gether o the individual laminations and urther
planing. The products are cured and stored in air
conditioned storage buildings to ensure that the
beams are dry and dimensionally stable beore
they are delivered. Every stage o production is
subject to permanent quality controls (internal
and external controls and inspections). The re-
sults o the controls and inspections are recorded
and evaluated in order to ensure that a consis-
tently high quality is guaranteed at all times.
Sustainability
Wood has the advantage over other construction
materials in ecological terms. In addition to its
unique selling point o being the only renewable
structural construction material to be available
in large quantities, the act that it is also associa-
ted with short transportation distances, is easy
to work and is produced with no waste are just
some o the reasons why the production o timber
building components requires less energy input
than building components made o other materials.
Precision preabrication and energy-efcient
construction
The high level o dimensional stability oered by
KVH, Duobalken and Triobalken is an important
prerequisite or ecient mechanical woodworking
in rms specializing in timber construction. With-
out these types o timber products it would not be
possible to use cost-saving CNC machines and
achieve a high degree o preabrication.
Given the high standards that modern buildings
have to meet in terms o energy requirements,
the shells o buildings have to be permanently air-
tight. The building components must be nished
to an exact t and the usual moisture-related
changes in the shape o the wood must not com-
promise the airtightness. High-tech timber prod-
ucts such as KVH, Duobalken and Triobalken
make it possible to achieve airtight timberbuildings which are thereore energy-ecient and
have a high standard o heat insulation.
Healthy homes
The home stands or a eeling o well-being. KVH,
Duobalken and Triobalken not only create a
sense o comort and well-being in the home,
they also give architects considerable reedom o
design. German builders o preabricated houses
and numerous rms specializing in timber con-
struction make extensive use o KVH, Duobalken
and Triobalken in order to construct buildings
which are both spacious and cost-eective.

Dimensioning in accordance with DIN 1052:2008-12
- Design o timber structures - General rules and
rules or buildings
DIN 1052, which was rst issued in 1988 and was
comprised o parts 1 to 3 along with Amend-
ment A1 rom 1996, was replaced in 2004 by a
completely revised version o the standard with
a new saety concept. The new one-part standard
was added to the German Model List o Acknowl-
edged Technical Rules or Works (Musterliste der
Technischen Baubestimmungen) and was also
later added to the technical rules or works in-
corporated in the building regulations o the Ger-
man ederal states. Once the application o DIN
1052:2004-08 became mandatory, the European
dimensioning standard ENV 1995-1-1 (Euro Code
5) was withdrawn at national level.
Since then an updated version o the standard
has been introduced - DIN 1052:2008-12. This ver-
sion includes amendments and additions which
were ound to be necessary ater the introductory
phase o DIN 1052:2004-08. It has been incorpo-
rated in the building regulations and refects the
state-o-the-art in technology.

mediate delivery rom stock in a wide range o
preerred cross-sections. The wood species pine
and r and the more moisture-resistant species
larch and Douglas r are available on request.
Cost savings with preerred cross-sections
Preerred cross-sections in the construction di-
mensions typically used in timber construction
enable major cost savings to be made. For rms
specializing in timber construction the stocks o
timber held by timber wholesalers save them the
need to maintain extensive stocks themselves,
giving them planning reedom without tying
down operating capital. Industrial production sys-
tems enable manuacturers to produce at low cost.
Timber also supplied cut to special dimensions
as listed
The organization o production is so fexible that
it is also possible to supply lengths cut to special
building-specic dimensions "as listed". This
means that dried and dimensionally stable timber
can also be supplied where job order planning is
the preerred option.
Dimensions
The maximum available cross-sectional dimen-
sions o KVH structural timber are limited by
the kiln-drying and minimum split-heart cut-
ting requirements. With maximum dimensions
o approx. 14/26 cm, KVH structural timber is
capable o meeting most normal requirements,
e.g. or ceiling beam cross-sections. For larger
cross-sections or high requirements in terms o
appearance, Duobalken and Triobalken beams
are available, the cross-sectional dimensions o
which are subject to the limits set by the approval
by the German building authorities:
Duobalken w/h 16/28 cm (2 x 8/28 cm)
Triobalken w/h 24/28 cm (3 x 8/28 cm)
w/h 10/36 cm (3 x 10/12 cm)
5 Dimensioning
5.1 Dimensioning principles in accordance with DIN 1052
The new saety concept
Following the principles o European standards,
the latest version o DIN 1052 is no longer based
on a dimensioning method revolving around a
global saety actor within "permissible stresses".
For timber construction, as is the case with most
other construction materials, a semi-probabilistic
saety concept with partial saety actors is used
instead. The new standard also continues the
policy o dierentiating between the verica-
tions or load-bearing saety and serviceability
(defection, vibration). What has to be checked in
relation to the verication o load-bearing capac-
ity is that the dimensioning values1 or the strain
(Ed) do not in any dimensioning situation exceed
the dimensioning values or stress resistance
(building component resistance Rd). The dimen-
sioning values are determined by multiplying
the characteristic2 action rom permanent and
variable loads (Gk
or Qk) by the partial saety ac-
tors G
orQ. Similarly, the characteristic building
component resistance Rk
is reduced by a material
partial saety actorM.

Technical Inormation - Issued 12/2009 Technical Inormation - Issued 12/2009 11
In relation to the verications o l oad-bearing
capacity, actor kmod
takes account o the particu-
lar material properties o the wood in depend-
ency on predominant climatic conditions and the
load duration. The climatic conditions are dened
within the ramework o the service classes; see
the table on page 7. The modication actors kmod
are set out in DIN 1052, Table F.1. Checks on service-
ability must take into account the deormation
actors kde
contained in Table F.2 in DIN 1052,
which take account o the variations in creep
behavior in wood and derived timber products.
Characteristic strength and rigidity properties
Given that the dimensioning concept in the cur-
rent DIN 1052 is not based on global saety actors,
uture calculations will no longer be based on
permissible stresses. The grading classes or sawn
structural timber in accordance with DIN 4074-1
are allocated to strength classes in DIN 1052, the
numerical value o which, i.e. 5% quantiles deter-
mined by tests, gives the characteristic bending
strength; see the table. The characteristic strength
and stiness properties or wood and derived tim-
ber products are contained in Annex F to DIN 1052.
Other changes contained in DIN 1052:2008-12
compared to DIN 1052:1988 - 04/1996-10
In addition to a undamentally changed dimen-
sioning concept, a whole range o new ndings
rom research and development has also been
incorporated in the updated version o DIN 1052.
For example, the available options or providing
verications or timber connections have been
considerably extended. The positive eect o a
higher density can be taken into account in rela-
tion to the load-bearing capacity o asteners and
the spacing o asteners. Moreover, the standard
also contains a practical dimensioning method or
wall panels, ceiling sections and wall diaphragm.
1) Specication o permissible bending
stress in accordance with the now obsolete
DIN 1052:1988/1996, where the permissible
B
= 10 N/mm.
2) Specication o characteristic fexu-
ral strength in accordance with DIN
1052:2008-12, where m,k
= 24 N/mm2, which,
in contrast to the permissible B, does not
contain a global saety actor.

w = 8.6 mm > 6 mm (verication requirement not met)
Option 1:Increase the moment of inertia / the beam width by 8.6/6 100 = 43%.
Comparison with the results rom dimensioning reerence table 6.2.2
For dimensioning criterion B: Required w/h = 12/24 cm
Option 2:
It is recommended that exact vibration verications be calculated, which should provide more cost-eec-
tive results. Suitable verication methods can be ound, or example, in "Erluterungen zu DIN 1052:2004-
08" [1] ("Commentary on DIN 1052:2004-08").

The dimensioning reerence tables are intended
to provide an aid or day-to-day work. With the
help o the tables it is possible to make quick
preliminary estimates or the common situations
associated with residential and administrative
buildings however, they cannot provide a substi-
tute or building-specic statical verication. The
tables apply to applications covered by Service
Classes 1 and 2 (NKL 1 and 2) in accordance with
DIN 1052, with a medium load duration.

drawn up or KVH, Duobalken and Triobalken in
strength class C24 (grading class S10 in accord-
ance with DIN 4074-1) using DIN 1052 as the basis.
As a general rule it is preerred cross-sections that
are reerred to (bold print). The design loads apply
to typical cases in practice in accordance with DIN
1055, Parts 3 to 5. The decisive load combinations
used or dimensioning purposes are based on DIN

Preliminary remarks: The ollowing dimensioning reerence tables were developed or raters in purlin
roo structures. The values or the load action (wind and snow loads) applied here are based on roo areas
larger than 10 m2. Additional structures on the roo such as, e.g. photovoltaic units or snow guards, and
trimmings, e.g. or skylights, must be taken into consideration separately in the building-specic verication.

7 Context provided by current standards
KVH structural timber and Duobalken and
Triobalken laminated beams have provided
proven service or many years in meeting the
increasing requirements associated with mod-
ern timber construction. The requirement or
dry and dimensionally stable construction tim-
ber to be used or carpentry and constructional
timber works is now specifed in all o the main
building regulations.
DIN 4074-1: Strength grading o wood - Part 1:
Sawn conierous timber
The grading criteria set out in DIN 4074-1 or clas-
siying the load-bearing capacity o construction
timber are based on timber dimensions related to
an ocial value o moisture content o um
= 20 %,
in other words dry timber. I the timber is not
graded in a dry state (TS labeling), suitable allow-
ance has to be made, e.g. by sawing to oversizes.
Even then, the grading criteria o cracks caused by
shrinking and o curvature still remain unaccoun-
ted or. Given that the only means o checking
with certainty that all the grading criteria are met
is i the wood is dry, the timber has to be careully
re-graded by the person handling the wood im-
mediately prior to installation and rejected where
necessary, because that person is duty-bound only
to install timber which has the "required equilib-rium moisture content", which means dry timber.
I the timber were to be installed in a semi-dry or
moist state, it would have to be examined in what
as a rule would be a dry equilibrium state to see
i any strength-reducing cracks had developed,
which would represent an unacceptable situa-
tion. The time and eort that this requires can be
avoided i KVH and Duobalken and Triobalken
are used, because the timber used in these
products is only ever graded when dry and meets
more stringent quality criteria than those speci-
ed in DIN 4074-1.
Bauregelliste A (Construction Products List A):
Labeling with the "" mark
Ever since 2004, German Bauregelliste A (Con-
struction Products List A) species that grad-
ing standard DIN 4074-1 has to be used as the
reerence standard or the inspection mark. This
means that only solid timber which has been
graded when completely dry and bears an ""
inspection mark containing specic reerence to
DIN 4074-1 is unequivocally a regulated construc-
tion product. KVH structural timber also has an
additional symbol in the "" mark to indicate the
certiying body, because the product is nger-
jointed. Solid timber without nger-joints will in
uture be permitted under European regulations
to bear a CE mark o conormity as an alternative.
Duobalken and Triobalken beams also have to
be labeled with the "" mark, but instead o reer-
ence to DIN 4074-1 these labels have to contain
the approval number and the symbol o the
certiying body.
At present there is no European technical stand-
ard, which means that there is no associated CE
mark o conormity available either.
ATV DIN 18334: VOB/C
Carpentry and constructional timber worksIt is a requirement o the German general techni-
cal specications or building works or carpentry
and timber construction works (DIN 18334) (All-
gemeine Technische Vertragsbedingungen r Bau-
leistungen [ATV] r Zimmer- und Holzbauarbei-
ten) that construction timber made o sawn sot-
wood must always be dry beore it is installed. The
2000 version o this regulation introduced more
stringent requirements or timber house construc-
tion with regard to moisture content (um
18 %),
dimensional stability and type o cutting.
According to the commentary on the standard [2],
internal timber in multi-storey timber buildings
has to have a lower moisture content because o
the settlement characteristics o such buildings.
This requirement is particularly topical now that
the German Model Building Regulations (Muster-
bauordnung [MBO] 2002) have been incorporated
in the building regulations o the individual ede-
ral states and allow the principle o permitting
the erection o timber construction buildings o
up to ve storeys in height.
DIN 1052 Design o timber structures
The dimensioning standard or timber construc-
tion is another standard which requires the instal-
lation o dry timber or Service Classes 1 and 2
(see the table on page 7), on the basis that this is
required to reduce cracks caused by shrinking and
changes in dimensions. Furthermore, it is only
possible to match sotwood products between
the grading classes specied in DIN 4074-1 and
the strength classes specied in DIN 1052 i the
timber has been graded when dry (TS) (see the
table on page 11). It also has to be taken into
consideration that the characteristic strengths
used or the strength classes only partially ac-
count or cracking.
Caution is required when installing timber with-out suitably adjusted moisture content
Where timber with a much higher moisture content
than the required equilibrium moisture content is
installed, DIN 1052 requires that the timber must
be able to dry out aterwards and that the struc-
tural timber components themselves, along with
all adjacent building components, must be resist-
ant to deormation through the shrinkage which
can be associated with drying. The construction
work required here, and the greater risk o build-
ing damage, can be avoided i KVH structural
timber and Duobalken and Triobalken are used.
Example: A wooden ceiling beam with a moisture
content or internal timber o um
= 20% can dry
out to 6% in the climate o a heated residential
building. For a beam o 24 cm in height a 14%
change in moisture content would result in a
mean shrinkage ratio o 8 mm. The concomitant
settlement has to be accommodated without
any damage occurring. It would be better to use
dry timber rom the outset, e.g. Duobalken or
Triobalken beams with a maximum um
= 15%.
In relation to the load-bearing capacity and exact
t o connections, DIN 1052 requires the ollowing
in respect o the installation o timber with exces-
sive moisture content:
The reduction of the characteristic values to 2/3
or the load-bearing capacity or nail connec-
tions exposed to pull out stress Deformation
through shrinkage in relation to butt j oints and
contact connections to be taken into considera-
tion in the verication o serviceability
The retightening of bolted joints
Here again, KVH, Duobalken and Triobalken
oer decisive advantages over normal sawn
structural timber.
Wood preservation
Finally it should also be noted that the use o dry
timber is an important precondition or the clas-
sication o component attachments in Use Class
0 in accordance with DIN 68800-2, in order to be
able to dispense with preservative treatment.
In addition, a eld study [3] demonstrated that
building components made o kiln-dried timber
used or interiors and or protected outside areas
are "resistant to insects".

8 Tenders and principles o standards
Wood
species
KVH structural timber and Duobalken and Triobalken beams are made o spruce/r as
standard. However, they can also be supplied in pine, larch and Douglas r as well on request.
Where it is intended that the products be used within the terms o Use Class 2 as dened by
DIN 68800-3 (temporary humidication, e.g. in protected outside areas) and no preservative
treatment is to be used, the tender document must speciy sapwood-ree dark-colored heart-
wood o larch or Douglas r.
S13TS/C30 KVH structural timber and Duobalken and Triobalken beams are also available, on request, in
grading class S13 in accordance with DIN 4074-1 or in strength class C24. It is possible or such
higher strengths to be required because o specications derived rom statical calculations.
Wooden constructions involving KVH, Duobalken and Triobalken
The German contract procedures or building works (VOB/A, Section 9) stipulate the ollowing: "The work
required must be described clearly and in sucient detail to ensure that all bidders understand the
description to have the same meaning and to enable them to calculate their prices with certainty and
without extensive preparatory work." You can only be certain o obtaining the correct product i the word-
ing in your tender documents is clear, complete and correct in technical terms. Given the high standard
o quality to be met by KVH, Duobalken and Triobalken, careul quality controls are required during
production. It is thereore in your own interests or you to ensure that the timber you are supplied with
comes rom quality supervised production sources. For an up-to-date list o supervised rms, please see
www.kvh.eu. in the internet.

9 Quality assurance and marking
Section 20 o the ederal state building regula-
tions in Germany and Section 17 o the German
Model Building Regulations (version 11/2002)
contain the stipulations under which construction
products may be used or the erection, alteration
and maintenance o built structures. They require
that construction products must bear either the
national mark o conormity ("" mark) or the mark
o conormity required under the provisions o the
Construction Products Law or the Construction
Products Directive o the European Community
(CE mark o conormity). Building law is violated i
sawn structural timber products which do not bear
such marks are used or load-bearing structures.
Marking o KVH structural timber
KVH structural timber is currently still markedwith a "" mark, although it should be noted that
a distinction is made in the mark between KVH
with nger-jointing (the general case) and KVH
without nger-jointing. The "" mark provides
verication that the product conorms with the
regulations o the building authorities.
The "" mark has to be included on the product
or the waybill/packaging. Alternatively it can be
applied to the product itsel in the orm o a text
mark. This must speciy the manuacturer, the
object o the approval, the grading class and the
date o production; the "" mark itsel has to be
included on the waybill. Where considered desir-
able or reasons o appearance it is permissible
to dispense with the application o the mark on
the product itsel in the case o KVH-Si structural
timber or exposed areas. In this case the mark
only has to appear on the delivery note.
As rom autumn 2009 the use o KVH structural
timber without nger joints should be permissi-
ble as an alternative in Germany, also in accord-
ance with DIN EN 14081-1 and the associatedstandard DIN V 20000-5. However, it is hardly likely
that non-nger-jointed KVH structural timber
with a CE mark o conormity will be available in
any great quantities, certainly or the next ew
years at least.
The members o the berwachungsgemeinschat
Konstruktionsvollholz e.V. monitor the quality
o their products through quality controls within
their companies (internal monitoring) and ad-
ditional monitoring by i ndependent agencies.
This applies not just to the mandatory character-
istics required under regulations but also to the
additional requirements stipulated within the
agreement on structural timber. Only structural
timber which is monitored in this way and is
manuactured by the companies which are mem-
bers o the berwa-
chungsgemeinschat
Konstruktionsvollholz
e.V. is permitted to bear
the internationally pro-
tected KVH trademark.
Marking o Duobalken and Triobalken beams
Duobalken and Triobalken beams are non-stand-
ardized products. In terms o building regulations
requirements they are regulated by product
approval number Z-9.1-440 issued by the Deutsche
Institut r Bautechnik (DIBt).
Z-9.1-440 - Duobalken and Triobalken beams
(laminated beams made o either two or three
boards, planks or pieces o square-sawn timber
which are glued together)
Continuous production controls by the manuac-
turer (internal monitoring) as well as monitoring
by an external agency are mandatory or these
products. Compliance with requirements is
documented by the German "" mark; there is no
provision or marking with a CE mark o conorm-
ity. In addition to the "" mark, the description o
the object o approval (Duobalken or Triobalken
beams) and the grading class also have to be
specied. Where considered desirable or reasons
o appearance the timber can be marked with a
permanent text code instead o the "" mark, as
long as the "" mark is printed on the waybill.
Special characteristics o Duobalken and
Triobalken beams
The approval or Duobalken and Triobalken
beams allows the application o 5% higher values
or the modulus o elasticity compared to solid
timber. With a value o 11,600 N/mm2 it is pos-
sible to reduce the amount o defection, which is
a major advantage in relation to a criterion which
is oten decisive in timber construction. The mean
values o MOE and shear-modulus are thereore
the same as those or glued l aminated timber
o strength class GL24 (previously BS11). All the
other strength properties are the same as those
or solid timber or KVH structural timber.
