Tension perpendicular to grain strength of wood, Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL), and Cross-Banded LVL (LVL-C) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Recent experimental tests carried out on structural timber members have highlighted the importance of tension perpendicular to grain strength, particularly in beams with holes and notches, in connection regions, in curved beams, and in post-tensioned ...

Numerical Approaches for the Analysis of Glass Facades Under Seismic Loads

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering and Resilience, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 21-44, March 2026.
Glass facades have gained more popularity due to their highly impacting esthetic and sustainable applications. However, their constitutive glass components are rather vulnerable and need proper analysis strategies to design them in efficient structural terms, especially against extreme loads, such as earthquakes.
