Finalisation of the European Approach to Assess the Fire Performance of Facades—Brief Information on the Outcome of the Project

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This research was conducted within the framework of project SI2.825082, funded by the European Commission—DG GROW. The project's objective was to finalise a European approach for assessing the fire performance of façades under medium and large fire exposure conditions.

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.

Case study houses 2.0 [Elektronisk resurs] : Mass-customised multi-storey timber buildnings : Competitive high-rise timber structures from an architectural and engineering point of view

, 2012
The authors present a rule-based system that applies to the architecture of innovative tall timber buildings, and provide examples of interesting multi-storey timber buildings that can be constructed through the application of those rules.

Charring Behaviour of Mass Timber: A Comparison of Thin Intumescent Coatings and Plasterboard

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study compares the charring behaviour of mass timber under varied heating conditions when protected by either different thin intumescent coating types or fire‐rated plasterboard layers. Bench‐scale fire experiments were conducted using the Heat‐Transfer Rate Inducing System (H‐TRIS).

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

Farming in the shadows of Rome: A multi‐proxy palaeoenvironmental record from Loch Clunie—Perthshire

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Roman impacts on local society is a subject of international significance. Loch Clunie, Perthshire, lies only 5.4 km from Inchtuthil, the only Roman legionary fortress in Scotland, and contains two crannogs and a probable lakeside hillfort. Despite this proximity and the likelihood of local–Roman interaction, these sites remain unexcavated ...

Results of simulation modeling of tractor regenerative linkage system operation [PDF]

BIO Web of Conferences
The main factors that have the greatest impact on the change in the efficiency of timber road trains are determined. A promising design of a recuperative cone device with a ball support for the timber platform of a tractor is proposed.

Progressive collapse (Robustness) behaviour of mid-rise mass timber frame buildings

, 2018
With recent changes in legislations, mid-rise to tall timber buildings have gained international attention. As the height of timber buildings increases, so do their potential risks of progressive collapse.

A Holistic Approach to Mass Timber Design

, 2023
As a new material, there is a significant lack of knowledge of the performance of mass timber, especially in fire. This research investigated the current understanding of modern mass timber, the performance of heritage mass timber, and the state of ...

Late Holocene environmental history of Dojran, Macedonia: Investigating the interplay of imperial dynamics and climatic change

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents a high‐resolution, multi‐proxy reconstruction of environmental and land‐use change from Lake Dojran over historical times (last 2500 years), combining pollen, biomarkers, radiocarbon dating, Ottoman taxation records and other historical data.
