Comparison of various types of residential building structures

U radu su s namjerom vrednovanja svrsishodnosti uporabe drva u stambenoj gradnji uspoređene sljedeće konstrukcije: drvena monolitna, drvena okvirna, betonska, opečna i čelična. Za usporedbu je upotrijebljena metoda analitičkoga hijerarhijskog procesa. Analiza je pokazala da je za stambenu gradnju najprihvatljivija drvena okvirna konstrukcija, pri čemu su najvažniji kriteriji odlučivanja bili: nosivost, požarna sigurnost, energijska učinkovitost, kvaliteta stanovanja i estetika.The use of wood in the construction of residential structures is analyzed, and the following structures are compared: wooden monolithic structure, wooden frame structure, concrete structure, brick structure and steel structure. The analytic hierarchy process method is used in the comparison. The analysis has shown that the wooden frame structure is the most convenient for residential construction purposes. The most significant decision making criteria used in this analysis are: safety, fire safety, energy efficiency, housing quality and aesthetics
