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 ...

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.

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

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).

Reliability analysis of a glulam beam

Structural Safety, 2007
The present case study is an example of the use of reliability analysis to asses the failure probability of a tapered glulam beam. This beam is part of a true structure built for a super market in the town of Kokemäki in Finland. The reliability analysis is carried out using the snow load statistics available from the site and on material strength ...
