Monte Carlo tree search for mass timber building design optimization

Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, Volume 40, Issue 31, Page 6242-6260, 29 December 2025.
Abstract Mass timber construction has gained significant traction in recent years due to its sustainability and lower energy demands. However, its broader adoption remains limited by higher material costs, compared to conventional construction materials.

Experimental Characterization of a Full‐Scale Stair System Detailed to Achieve Seismic Resiliency

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 54, Issue 14, Page 3519-3540, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Stair systems are the primary means of egress in and out of a building during and after an earthquake. Therefore, it is essential to detail these critical nonstructural systems such that they remain operable during and after an earthquake of moderate to high levels of intensity.

Fire Testing as a Tool in Fire Safety Engineering: A Norwegian Perspective

Fire and Materials, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 1109-1123, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Fire testing has long been used to assess the performance of building products and construction materials under fire exposure. In addition to the widespread use of standard tests for fire safety certification, the application of non‐standard and customized fire tests has received attention.

A lightweight binocular vision‐supported framework for 3D structural dynamic response monitoring

Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, Volume 40, Issue 25, Page 4364-4377, 20 October 2025.
Abstract Current three‐dimensional (3D) displacement measurement algorithms exhibit practical limitations, such as computational inefficiency, redundant point cloud data storage, reliance on preset targets, and restrictions to unidirectional measurements. This research aims to address computation efficiency and accuracy issues in binocular camera‐based

Finite Element Analysis of Composite Laminated Timber (CLT)

Proceedings, 2018
In the research for sustainable construction, cross-laminated timber (CLT) has gained popularity and become a widely used engineered timber product. However, there are few numerical studies of the structural behaviour of CLT.

Seismic design and performance evaluation of post‐tensioned CLT shear walls with coupling U‐shaped flexural plates in Canada

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 41, Issue 3, Page 2203-2224, August 2025.
Post‐tensioned cross‐laminated timber (PT‐CLT) walls coupled with U‐shaped flexural plates (UFPs) have proved to be a low‐damage seismic force‐resisting system (SFRS) due to their self‐centering capability and stable energy dissipation. Global efforts have been made to explore the applicability of PT‐CLT walls as primary SFRSs in mass timber buildings.

BRE‐X Emissions Database for End‐of‐Life Scenarios of Selective Building Construction Materials to Enable Circular Economy in Construction

Journal of Advanced Manufacturing and Processing, Volume 7, Issue 3, July 2025.
ABSTRACT In the United States, construction and demolition debris predominately end up in landfills with minimal end‐of‐life Re‐X (recover, recycle, reuse, etc.) scenarios, resulting in large environmental impacts and lost opportunities for material recovery.
