Cross-laminated strand-veneer lumber mass timber panels from commercially produced thermally modified wood strands

Developments in the Built Environment
This study explores the influence of thermal modification on wood strands produced from small-diameter trees and the resulting composite panels, including veneers, laminated strand veneer lumber (LSVL), and cross-laminated strand veneer lumber (CLSVL ...

Complete Circularity in Cross-Laminated Timber Production

Environmental and Climate Technologies, 2021
Many authors have discussed the paradigm shift in economy from linear to circular. Population growth and climate change caused resource scarcity are the main driving forces of shifting to circularity approach.

Integrating Products, Processes, and Sourcing for Eco‐Innovation

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Eco‐innovation research has often examined regulatory or technological drivers but has paid limited attention to how long‐term organizational change shapes eco‐innovation in mature, resource‐intensive industries. This study addresses that gap by investigating how two leading Finnish pulp and paper firms integrated product, process, and ...

Ambient vibration tests of a cross-laminated timber building [PDF]

Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Construction Materials, 2015
Cross-laminated timber has, in the last 6 years, been used for the first time to form shear walls and cores in multi-storey buildings of seven storeys or more. Such buildings can have low mass in comparison to conventional structural forms. This low mass means that, as cross-laminated timber is used for taller buildings still, their dynamic movement ...

Biomass‐derived hydrochars as eco‐friendly adsorbents for wastewater treatment applications

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract Emerging organic pollutants (EOPs), such as diethyl phthalate (DEP), bisphenol A (BPA), and methylene blue (MB), are only partially removed in conventional wastewater treatment plants. This study assesses hydrochars produced by hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) of spruce bark (SB), vine shoots (VSs), and wheat straw (WSs) for removing three ...

Feasibility of cross-laminated secondary timber

Sustainable Construction Materials and Technologies (SCMT), 2019
The construction industry creates significant volumes of waste timber, much of which has residual quality and value that dissipates in conventional waste management. This research explored the novel concept of reusing secondary timber as feedstock for ‘cross-laminated secondary timber’ (CLST) through a review of the literature.

Seismic Performance and Vibration‐Based Damage Identification of Two‐Storey Balloon‐Framed CLT Shear Walls

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While cross‐laminated timber (CLT) is increasingly utilized in lateral force‐resisting systems in mass timber construction, research has predominantly focused on platform‐type construction. Balloon‐type CLT shear wall systems offer distinct structural advantages, notably the elimination of cumulative perpendicular‐to‐grain compression and a ...

Self-extinguishment of cross-laminated timber

Fire Safety Journal, 2019
Abstract Cross-laminated timber, or CLT, is receiving attention for its potential application in tall building structures. As a combustible material, one of the main challenges for the construction of these buildings is the fire risk that results from its use in the structure.

Mechanical Behaviour of Vacuum‐Infused GFRP Composites at Elevated Temperatures—Influence of Fibre Architecture

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study addresses the influence of fibre architecture on the mechanical properties of vacuum‐infused glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites at elevated temperatures (ET). Laminates with three different fibre configurations—unidirectional (UD), bidirectional 0°/90° cross‐ply (BD), and ±45° off‐axis angle‐ply (OA) – were tested in ...

Char Layer Thickness Evolution During Structural Timber Fire Experiment and Final Density Profile

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper evaluates several non‐destructive experimental methods for determining the char layer thickness and its density profile in structural timber samples exposed to standard ISO 834 fire curve experiments. Microwave echo pulse, ultrasonic echo pulse, X‐ray computed tomography, and resistance drilling were evaluated.
