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.

Seismic Design of Hybrid Coupled CLT Shear Walls with Steel Link Beams

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 54, Issue 6, Page 1520-1539, May 2025.
ABSTRACT This study proposes a seismic design method for hybrid coupled cross‐laminated timber (CLT) shear walls with steel link beams as the lateral load‐resisting system for mass timber buildings. A force‐based seismic design method was proposed as a preliminary design process to determine the primary structural components. To inform the selection of

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 ...
