Comparison of Embodied Carbon Footprint of a Mass Timber Building Structure with a Steel Equivalent

Buildings
The main purpose of this study is to quantify and compare the embodied carbon (EC) from the materials used or designed to build the Adohi Hall, a residence building located on the University of Arkansas campus in Fayetteville, AR. It has been constructed

Experimental dynamic collapse response of post-and-beam mass timber frames under a sudden column removal scenario

, 2021
In this study, an experimental program was carried out to investigate the dynamic behaviour of post-and-beam mass timber frames, manufactured from LVL structural products, under a sudden column removal scenario.

Cortical concepts: Advanced membranes for the timber age : Innovative façades for multi-storey timber buildings

, 2014
To an extent, the architecture of each era is dictated by the material context prevalent at the time. Architecture's Steel Age gave way to its Concrete Age, which is now giving way to the newfangled Timber Age. As has historically been the case, however,

Seismic performance evaluation of mass timber buildings equipped with resilient and conventional friction devices

Resilient Cities and Structures
The application of mass timber elements in different structures has gained publicity over the last few years, primarily due to climate change adaptation policies and net zero carbon targets. Timber is a renewable construction material that can outperform

Experimental collapse response of post-and-beam mass timber frames under a quasi-static column removal scenario

, 2020
Mid-rise to tall mass timber buildings, which are constructed from engineered solid wood products, such as Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL), Glued laminated timber (Glulam) and Cross Laminated Timber (CLT), have recently gained international popularity.

Carbon intensity of mass timber materials: impacts of sourcing and transportation

Frontiers in Built Environment
Mass timber construction is widely considered a promising alternative construction method to reduce buildings’ total life-cycle carbon emissions because wood is a carbon sink. Cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels, manufactured by gluing lumber layers with

Conjugated Heat and Mass Transfer in Convective Drying in Compact Wood Kilns: A System Approach

Advances in Mechanical Engineering, 2013
Drying is a required operation in timber manufacturing industries. Most drying processes utilise convective kilns, which involve coupling between transient heat and mass (moisture content) transfer in solids and convection in a flowing medium.
