Increasing thermal mass in lightweight dwellings using phase change materials – a literature review [PDF]
, 2009 The number of houses of lightweight timber or steel frame construction being built over recent years has increased significantly. These buildings have low thermal mass and may be subject to large temperature fluctuations and particular overheating during

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Fire sources in actual compartment fires exhibit a predominantly uneven spatial distribution. In this context, the impact of the height and location of the fire source, as well as the heat release rate (HRR) of the fire, on the thermal characteristics of Externally Venting Flames (EVF) is experimentally investigated.

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Heat induced delamination (HID) is a phenomenon in engineered wood products which may result in the detachment of the bonded timber lamellae before charring propagates to the bond line interphase. This study aims to correlate the thermal degradation of two 1‐c‐polyurethane adhesives at the microscale to the thermo‐hydro‐mechanical behaviour of

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.

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.

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).

Effect of shear wall type on seismic performance of steel-wood hybrid structure
上海师范大学学报. 自然科学版Hybrid steel frame and timber shear wall structure was a green and low-carbon structural system suitable for multi-story buildings. Timber shear walls could be divided in two types:light wood-framed shear wall and mass timber shear wall. A basis could be

Rethinking a positive‐sum game: US FDI location decisions in the presence of Chinese FDI
Global Strategy Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Research Summary This study examines how rising Chinese outbound foreign direct investment (OFDI) in third‐country markets shapes US MNEs' foreign direct investment location decisions amid escalating US–China geopolitical rivalry. US firms initially benefit from complementary co‐location dynamics, as Chinese OFDI—particularly in infrastructure—

, 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,
