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

open access: yesJournal 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.

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

open access: yesSustainable 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

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

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

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 12, Page 3052-3073, 10 October 2026.
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 ...
