Influence of Point-Supported Steel-to-Timber Interface Parameters on the Structural Fire-Resistance of Mass Timber Plates

Buildings
Point-supported connections are an innovative modern connection design that can benefit from the 2-way structural action of cross-laminated timber (CLT) slabs, which is typically not considered in traditional timber design.

Life cycle assessment of an entirely wood floor system designed for carbon negativity, future adaptability, and end-of-life de/re/construction

Environmental Research: Infrastructure and Sustainability
The construction sector accounts for approximately 11% of global greenhouse gas emissions, largely due to the production of steel, concrete and aluminum. As global infrastructure investments grow, exceeding $2.9 trillion in the United States alone, there

Dynamic Characterization and Vibration Analysis of a Four-Story Mass Timber Building

Frontiers in Built Environment, 2019
Mass timber construction has been gaining momentum in multi-story residential and commercial construction sectors in North America. As taller mass timber buildings are being planned and constructed, in-situ dynamic tests of this type of construction can ...

The conceptual design changes triggered by timber boards [PDF]

, 2011
After the introduction of timber boards as diaphragms in light-frame construction opened the way to modern timber construction, three major design changes would follow: the elements become multifunctional, they can work structurally in two directions ...

Challenging Mass-Based Exclusion Criteria: The Environmental Significance of Structural Connections in Timber Buildings

BioResources
In environmental impact assessments of buildings, the steel used in wooden structural connections, which are responsible for sustaining shear and tension stresses, is often overlooked yet could account for up to 13% of the total environmental impact over
