Experimental testing on timber connections considering the influence of gap size and intumescent sealants

open access: yesFire and Materials, Volume 48, Issue 1, Page 39-61, January/February 2024.
Abstract This paper investigates the influence of gap size (openings/spaces between two structural members) and the presence of intumescent sealants on the development of temperature when timber connections are exposed to fire conditions. The experimental results of 21 samples representing a concealed steel‐to‐timber connection configuration that was ...

Effect of Low Temperatures on the Block Shear Strength of Norway Spruce Glulam Joints

open access: yesBioResources, 2016
The block shear strength of Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) glulam joints was tested under low temperatures. Glulam samples were glued with the three of the most common outdoor structural adhesives. The cold temperatures tested were 20, −20, −30,

Bond between glulam and NSM CFRP laminates [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
With the aim of evaluating the bond behaviour between glulam and carbon fibre reinforced polymer laminates strips, an experimental program using pull-out tests was carried, when the near-surface strengthening technique is applied. Two main variables were

Analytical Approach to Predict Pre–Camber Deflection of the Pre-stressed Glulam Beams

open access: yesCivil Engineering Dimension, 2015
A new approach to reinforce glulam timber beams using compressed wood (CW) has been developed by the Author. The compressed wood blocks are inserted into pre-cut holes on the top of glulam beams to produce pre-camber and to generate initial tensile and ...

A Comparative Cradle-to-Gate Life Cycle Assessment of Mid-Rise Office Building Construction Alternatives: Laminated Timber or Reinforced Concrete

open access: yesBuildings, 2012
The objective of this project was to quantify and compare the environmental impacts associated with alternative designs for a typical North American mid-rise office building. Two scenarios were considered; a traditional cast-in-place, reinforced concrete
