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.

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.
