Ductile Failure Modes of Double Shear Steel‐to‐Wood Dowel Type Connections

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
To analyze the behavior of typical hybrid steel–wood connections in wooden buildings, 3D continuum‐based finite element analysis (FEA) models of the most critical connections were developed using the Abaqus/CAE program. Accurate modeling requires appropriate element and material formulations, as well as proper contact definitions between connection ...

Whole‐Life Embodied Carbon Reduction Strategies in UK Buildings: A Comprehensive Analysis

Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 12, Issue 12, Page 5370-5384, December 2024.
This paper analyzes EC in various case studies using LCA. It highlights that Module A contributes the most to EC and recommends focusing reduction efforts there, particularly by using GGB) to replace cement, achieving 60‐70% reductions in concrete EC. The study shows significant WLEC reductions: 30.59% for a residential building, 46.86% for a college ...

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.

Resolving complexity: Material flow analysis of a national wood flow system integrating the versatility of wood

Journal of Industrial Ecology, Volume 28, Issue 6, Page 1716-1729, December 2024.
Abstract A systemic understanding of the use of wood resources is required to defossilize society and promote bio‐based developments. This study provides a novel approach to represent a comprehensive material flow analysis (MFA) spanning the entire wood value chain; encompassing wood harvest to products, use in society, collection, reuse, recycle ...

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

Civil 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

Buildings, 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

New constructions of glulam beams in Canada

, 2007
An optimized 24f glulam beam lay-up has been investigated with a series of laboratory testing and computer modeling. The basic ideas of these assessments are to increase the efficient use of timber resource in the glulam construction with integration of ...

Reinforcement of Dowelled Joints in Glulam [PDF]

, 1998
I et tidligere projekt støttet af Byggforskningsrådet undersøgtes virkningen af atarmere bolte- og sømforbindelser med glasfiber. Forsøg viste, at armeringenvar meget effektiv.I det projekt, som beskrives i denne rapport, er undersøgt armering af bolteforbindelser belastet vinkelret på fibrene i relativt store trætykkelser (90 mm limtræ).

Viscoelastic creep in reinforced glulam

, 2016
The mechanical and physical properties of softwood timber can vary considerably as a result of the age and rate of growth of the tree and other environmental factors which affect the wood cell density and strength [1]. Sitka spruce is characterised as a fast growing, low density timber which when subjected to flexural loading generally fails in tension
