Optimization of Shell Structures with Fuzzy Probability‐Based Random Fields Using Artificial Neural Networks

open access: yesProceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, Volume 25, Issue 4, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The structural design optimization aims for robust structures with minimal use of material resources, leading to slender and thin‐walled structures, which entail a higher risk of stability problems. This issue is further influenced by geometrical imperfections, which are subjected to uncertainties.

Glued Laminated Timber in Architecture [PDF]

open access: yesDrvna Industrija, 2010
Structural glued laminated timber (glulam) is an engineered, stress-rated product that consists of two or more layers of lumber (i.e., laminations) glued together with the grain running lengthwise.

Monte Carlo tree search for mass timber building design optimization

open access: yesComputer-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.

Experimental Study of Interfacial Stress Distribution of Bonded-in BFRP Rod Glulam Joints Using Fibre Optic Sensors (FOS) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In this study, fibre optic sensors (FOS) were used to investigate the interfacial stress-strain behaviour of bonded-in basalt fibre reinforced polymer (BFRP) rods loaded into glulam members.

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

open access: yesFire 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 ...

Air-coupled ultrasound inspection of glued laminated timber [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
A novel air-coupled ultrasound (ACU) 120kHz normal transmission system enabled successful imaging of bonding and saw cut defects in multilayered glulam beams up to 280mm in height with a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 40dB.

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

open access: yesJournal 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.

Evaluation and prediction of bending properties of glulam beams made from young plantation-grown Eucalyptus nitens

open access: yesAustralian Forestry
Interest in making glulam from plantation-grown Eucalyptus nitens has increased, but current structural timber standards were not designed for species grown in plantations.
