Review of fire experiments in mass timber compartments: Current understanding, limitations, and research gaps

Fire and Materials, Volume 47, Issue 4, Page 415-432, June 2023., 2023
Abstract The use of mass timber in buildings instead of non‐combustible materials has benefits in sustainability, aesthetics, construction times, and costs. However, the uptake of mass timber in modern construction for medium and high‐rise buildings is currently hindered by uncertainty regarding safety and structural performance in fire.

Thermal response of timber connections in the cooling phase

Fire and Materials, Volume 47, Issue 4, Page 479-497, June 2023., 2023
Abstract Structures are conventionally designed to maintain load‐bearing capacity during the heating phase of a fire. However, in structures with moderate or high thermal inertia, the thermal field which results in the lowest structural resistance is likely to occur after the heating phase.

Seismic loss and resilience assessment of tall‐coupled cross‐laminated timber wall building

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 39, Issue 2, Page 727-747, May 2023., 2023
Balloon‐type cross‐laminated timber coupled‐wall (CLT‐CW) structure is an emerging and sustainable option for constructing tall timber buildings. The structure features buckling restrained brace (BRB) hold‐downs, balloon‐type CLT walls, and coupling beams with replaceable shear links.

Investigation of industrial robots vs joinery machines for milling pockets in glulam: Comparison based on surface quality and 3D scans

Civil Engineering Design, Volume 4, Issue 1-3, Page 25-34, June 2022., 2022
Abstract Joinery machines (JM) are state‐of‐the art for subtractive machining of timber. When considering costs, availability and multi‐axis flexibility, industrial robots (IR) can be seen as a viable alternative as they show high potential for the increase of efficiency, workspace, and possibilities of machining.
