Sustainable Utilization and Fire Protection of Wood‐Based Composites in Buildings: Innovations, Challenges, and Future Directions

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The increasing use of wood and wood‐based composites in construction reflects a global shift toward renewable materials that support sustainable development objectives, including carbon reduction and responsible resource use. While wood offers substantial environmental benefits compared to conventional materials such as concrete and steel, its

Cross-laminated timber (CLT) – a state of the art report

Građevinar, 2018
Cross laminated timber is an innovative plate-shaped product presenting a laminated structure and excellent physicomechanical properties. Due to its high stiffness and in-plane and out-of-plane bearing capacity, it is most often used in form of wall or ...

Improving durability of cross laminated timber (CLT) with borate treatment

Journal of Wood Science, 2022
Borate solution was used to treat two sets of Douglas-fir wood samples, one by spraying cross-laminated timbers (CLT) and another set by dip-treating wood in solutions at different retentions.

NON-DESTRUCTIVE ASSESSMENT OF GLUING IN CROSS-LAMINATED TIMBER PANELS [PDF]

WIT Transactions on Ecology and the Environment, 2017
Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) panels are wooden structural products consisting of finger jointed boards glued together and arranged in orthogonal layers. The lamination process reduces the scatter of the board properties so that minor strength reducing features such as knots and other defects are dispersed in the product. CLT panels have very high axial

The Role of Awareness in Sustainable Construction Materials Uptake in Developing Economies: Evidence From Nigeria

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainable Construction Materials (SCM) are crucial for reducing lifecycle emissions in the built environment, yet their adoption remains limited in many developing economies, such as Nigeria. This study investigates how awareness influences the adoption of SCM among professionals in Nigeria's Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC)

Dynamic Capabilities as Drivers of Circular Business Models: Exploring Direct and Indirect Relationships

Journal of Product Innovation Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Academic Summary Despite the urgent need for a circular economy, firms' transition from linear to circular business models (CBMs) remains slow. While previous research suggests that dynamic capabilities are the key drivers of this transition, it assumes a direct link, overlooking that these capabilities can facilitate change but do not ...

Effects of Wall‐to‐Floor Interactions on Seismic Response of Platform‐Type CLT Buildings

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2880-2896, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Platform‐type cross‐laminated timber (CLT) buildings feature discontinuous wall segments supported by CLT floors. In practice, CLT floors are often treated as rigid diaphragm, yet the wall‐to‐floor interactions (WFIs) associated with flexibility of floors remain insufficiently investigated during seismic performance assessment.
