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 ...

REINFORCEMENT OF GLULAM: A REVIEW OF METHODS, MATERIALS, AND NUMERICAL MODELLING

Mix Sustentável
Glued Laminated Timber (GLULAM) has been widely used in construction due to its high strength and versatility. However, it is susceptible to brittle failure under bending, which requires structural reinforcements to improve its performance.

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.

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.

Seismic Design of Hybrid Coupled CLT Shear Walls with Steel Link Beams

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 54, Issue 6, Page 1520-1539, May 2025.
ABSTRACT This study proposes a seismic design method for hybrid coupled cross‐laminated timber (CLT) shear walls with steel link beams as the lateral load‐resisting system for mass timber buildings. A force‐based seismic design method was proposed as a preliminary design process to determine the primary structural components. To inform the selection of

Business model innovation for reducing uncertainty in sustainability transitions: A case study of the wood construction industry

Creativity and Innovation Management, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 818-838, December 2024.
Sustainability transitions are a significant challenge that requires established industries to adopt innovative ways of doing business. Research suggests that while this is possible through business model innovation (BMI), risk avoidance by regime actors and high levels of future uncertainty act as barriers to successful transitions.

Risk‐based optimization of concentrically braced tall timber buildings: Derivative free optimization algorithm

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 53, Issue 1, Page 179-199, January 2024.
Abstract Mass timber materials are attractive alternatives for tall‐timber buildings (TBs), where the need for sustainability is apparent. Innovative structural systems and design methodologies are needed to fulfil performance requirements according to modern performance based approaches.
