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

Arisaema siahaense sp. nov. (Araceae) from India
A new species of Arisaema Mart. (Araceae) belonging to sect. Fimbriata is described and illustrated here from the Siaha District, Mizoram, India. This new species is characterized by an evergreen, dioecious herbaceous habit, up to 1.08 m high, having a subglobose tuber, with a solitary trifoliate leaf.

Elevation reverses the effects of forest structure on folivory and leaf asymmetry
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Centuries of timber production have homogenized many forests by reducing variation in canopy density and deadwood availability, with far‐reaching consequences for biodiversity and trophic interactions.

Numerical Approaches for the Analysis of Glass Facades Under Seismic Loads
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.

Measuring-up in timber: A critical perspective on mid-and high-rise timber building design [PDF]
Architects, engineers and researchers alike often cite practical reasons for building with wood. Since the development of curved glulam beams and columns over a century ago, the widespread use of massive structural timber elements has allowed architects ...
