Advances in reinforcing of cross laminated timber panels

, 2021
The present paper shows the first results of an ongoing research aimed at studying the mechanical performance of Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) reinforced with natural fibers and steel bars. A bending test program has been carried out on several CLT panels

Feasibility of cross-laminated secondary timber [PDF]

, 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

Carbon Reduction Benefits and Economic Performance Analysis of Lattice Structural Systems Utilizing Small-Diameter Round Timber as the Primary Material

Buildings
To address the imbalance between the “ecological advantage” and “economic benefit” of wooden structure buildings, this study examines two structural construction methods utilizing inexpensive and readily available small-diameter round timber as the ...

Contact Force Distribution Between CLT‐Slab And Steel Beam In Slim‐Floor Construction

ce/papers, Volume 9, Issue 2-3, Page 1171-1176, September 2026.
Abstract In slim‐floor beam–column systems, the distribution of contact forces between cross‐laminated timber (CLT) slabs and steel beams is critical for structural design. Existing guidelines are largely based on concrete floors, although CLT slabs exhibit different structural behavior due to their bidirectional bending stiffness.

Bond Strength of composite CFRP reinforcing bars in timber [PDF]

, 2015
The use of near-surface mounted (NSM) fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars is an interesting method for increasing the shear and flexural strength of existing timber members.

Numerical investigation on steel‐timber‐concrete composite (STCC) connections

ce/papers, Volume 9, Issue 2-3, Page 1265-1270, September 2026.
Abstract This paper investigates numerically the mechanical behavior of steel‐CLT‐concrete composite connections. The cross‐laminated timber (CLT) significantly reduces the carbon footprint of buildings, while steel provides the necessary load‐bearing capacity and the concrete layer enhances vibrational comfort as well as fire and acoustic performances.

Seismic performance evaluation of timber‐steel hybrid framed structures

ce/papers, Volume 9, Issue 2-3, Page 1282-1286, September 2026.
Abstract Sustainability has become a key driver in structural engineering, encouraging the adoption of materials and systems with reduced environmental impact. Timber, a renewable material with low carbon footprint, is increasingly used both in all‐timber constructions and in hybrid systems with concrete or steel.

Interaction between acoustics and structural engineering in cross laminated timber buildings

, 2021
The structural and the acoustical design of timber buildings are closely intertwined, as often design criteria conceptually lead to potential conflicts. Connections represent a key contact points between the two fields of engineering.

Interlocking connection for a hybrid steel‐timber floor system

ce/papers, Volume 9, Issue 2-3, Page 1230-1235, September 2026.
Abstract Combining renewable timber with high‐efficiency steel enables the development of sustainable and high‐performance composite structures. To date, steel‐timber floor systems have primarily relied on a stacked construction method, where timber panels are placed on top of steel beams and connected via mechanical fasteners or adhesives.
