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.

Mechanical tests on Corymbia citriodora battenboard panels coated and reinforced with giant bamboo veneers

Pesquisa Agropecuária Tropical, 2019
Dense wood batten panels usually break in the glue line when loaded. This study demonstrates that thin veneers obtained from mature culms of Dendrocalamus asper by mechanical grinding are suitable for coating and reinforcing solid processed eucalyptus ...

Reducing formaldehyde emissions and enhancing performance of particleboards through the incorporation of activated carbon produced from Scots pine wood residues

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, Volume 19, Issue 6, Page 1875-1886, November/December 2025.
Abstract Wood‐based composite boards present a problem due to formaldehyde emissions from engineered particleboard, which pose health and environmental risks. This study explored the production of activated carbon (AC) from Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) wood residues using phosphoric acid (H3PO4) as a chemical activator.

Lateral Load Carrying Capacities of Particleboard Shear Walls Made by Gluing with Timber Studs

BioResources, 2022
Particleboard shear walls were developed and their lateral load carrying capacities were evaluated. The shear walls were made by connecting particleboards and timber studs with polyurethane (PUR) or nails.

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.

Numerical Modelling of Timber Connections Considering the Influence of Gap Size and Intumescent Sealants

Fire and Materials, Volume 49, Issue 6, Page 878-903, October 2025.
ABSTRACT This paper presents the development of finite element models for timber connections with gaps under fire conditions which are subsequently validated using experimental data. Fourteen models are developed for concealed steel‐to‐timber connection configurations with gap sizes of 0, 3, 6 and 10 mm exposed to ISO 834 standard fire for 120 min ...

Predicting the environmental consequences of different energy and material applications for Bavarian hardwood harvest

Journal of Industrial Ecology, Volume 29, Issue 4, Page 1250-1264, August 2025.
Abstract Nowadays, hardwood in Germany is mainly used for heat production despite several available or developed material applications. However, questions arise about how hardwood can be used in the future to best meet its environmental reduction potential, including consequences through replacing non‐renewable energy carriers or products.
