Behavior of Long‐Slotted Perforated Steel Plate Fuses in Timber Brace End Connections

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 1247-1269, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Steel perforated plate fuses have emerged as a promising solution for mass timber seismic force‐resisting systems, offering tunable energy dissipation mechanisms, such as flexural and shear yielding, through geometric adjustments. This study examines the cyclic performance of perforated steel plate fuses employed in timber braced frames, with ...

Structural Behaviour of Strengthened Timber Beams With Fibre‐Reinforced Polymer (FRP) and Steel: A Review

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This paper provides a focused review of the studies on short‐term flexural performance, creep behaviour and blast responses of timber beams reinforced with three strengthening methods: external reinforcement (ER), near‐surface mounted (NSM) and glued‐in (GI) methods.

Flexural Fatigue Behavior of Glulam Beams Connected with Steel Splints and Bolts

Buildings, 2023
Glulam beams connected with steel splints and bolts (GBSBs) are subjected to cyclic reciprocating dynamic loads in practice, which eventually leads to damage accumulation and structure failure.

Repair of glulam beams using GFRP rods [PDF]

WIT Transactions on The Built Environment, 2009
Timber is one of the oldest building materials and is very attractive because it is a renewable resource, recyclable and relatively inexpensive. However, as the service requirements that are imposed on structural members change, mechanical upgrade or repair becomes of increasing importance.

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

Proceedings 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.
