This thesis is the result of a process. A process of irresolution and doubt and a process of increased knowledge and insights. During this process I have met persons of whom I would like to mention some that have influenced my journey: Lars Stehn, head of the Division of Structural Engineering – Timber Structures, for your encouragement and guidance and for your engagement. Without you and your ability to inspire, this process would never have started, and this thesis would never have seen daylight. Persons at my case companies that have been the major sources of information in this research project. I would like to thank you for letting me take part in your knowledge and for the inspiration you have given me. I will especially acknowledge Clas Sjöberg, Erling Lind, Georg Svensson and Stefan Lindbäck. Thanks to all my colleagues at Timber Structures in Luleå, for the joy you have given me and your helpfulness. To my family and Mikael, for always having supported me when the process of life come between. My two four-legged best friends, for all our fruitful discussions about life and research, and Christofer, who makes me laugh even when work is trying. Finally, I would like to acknowledge the financial support from Kempe research foundation that has enabled this research project.
