Experimental Study of Glued Laminated Timber (Glulam) from Jackfruit Wood and Coconut Wood for Timber Beams of Level Houses in East Nusa Tenggara

Indonesian Journal of Interdisciplinary Research in Science and Technology, 2023
Wood is a construction material that is familiar to the wider community. Wood can be used in construction. The purpose of this study was to determine the specifications of the physical properties, mechanical properties, tensile strength and flexural strength of laminated wood (glulam), in jackfruit and coconut wood beams originating from the East Nusa ...

Charring Behaviour of Mass Timber: A Comparison of Thin Intumescent Coatings and Plasterboard

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study compares the charring behaviour of mass timber under varied heating conditions when protected by either different thin intumescent coating types or fire‐rated plasterboard layers. Bench‐scale fire experiments were conducted using the Heat‐Transfer Rate Inducing System (H‐TRIS).

Performance of glued laminated timber (glulam) made from Rubberwood with different lamina assembly patterns and adhesive spreads rates

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2023
Abstract Glued laminated timber (glulam) is a great building material with strong mechanical properties that comprises laminated layers of wood (lamina) glued together with long-lasting structural adhesives. As the supply of large dimensional lumber for construction projects has been in shortage, glulam is the ideal material to replace ...

Behavior of Long‐Slotted Perforated Steel Plate Fuses in Timber Brace End Connections

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 1247-1269, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Steel perforated plate fuses have emerged as a promising solution for mass timber seismic force‐resisting systems, offering tunable energy dissipation mechanisms, such as flexural and shear yielding, through geometric adjustments. This study examines the cyclic performance of perforated steel plate fuses employed in timber braced frames, with ...
