Study of the dynamic response of a timber pedestrian bridge during different construction stages

, 2022
The objective of this article is to study the dynamic behaviour of a timber pedestrian bridge by performing in-situ tests at four different construction stages: 1) on only the timber structure 2) on the timber structure with the railings 3) on the timber

Char Layer Thickness Evolution During Structural Timber Fire Experiment and Final Density Profile

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper evaluates several non‐destructive experimental methods for determining the char layer thickness and its density profile in structural timber samples exposed to standard ISO 834 fire curve experiments. Microwave echo pulse, ultrasonic echo pulse, X‐ray computed tomography, and resistance drilling were evaluated.

Structural performance of a novel dovetailed timber panel subjected to out-of-plane bending

Case Studies in Construction Materials
The use of glues and metallic fasteners is the standard solution in the construction of engineered wood products (EWPs). Nevertheless, the application of glues and metallic fasteners affect the carbon footprint, disposal, reusability, recyclability, and ...

An Experimental Investigation on the Impact of Burner Height and Location on the Characteristics of Externally Venting Flames

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.

What to Do with Structurally Low-Grade Wood from Australia’s Plantation Eucalyptus; Building Application?

BioResources, 2016
About one million hectares of plantation hardwoods, mostly eucalyptus trees of different sub-species (E. nitens and E. globulus), are annually being managed in Australia, which provides a promising resource of raw materials for fibre industries. However,

This is hardcore: CNC prototypes for timber cores : Designing multi-storey timber buildings from the inside out

, 2014
No architect will make a dent in the universe by designing an excellent services shaft or HVAC system, and yet architects could certainly do a lot worse than focusing on redefining the hidden innards supporting our built environment.

Influence of Adhesive Type on Heat Induced Delamination in Tension Loaded Shear Lap Cross‐Laminated Timber Samples Exposed to Radiant Heat Flux

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

Comparison of Structural Performance of a Multi-Story Reinforced Concrete Building and Its Equivalent Timber Building

Applied Sciences
An increased interest in decreasing the environmental impact of the construction sector and in vertical urbanization has renewed attention to timber as a primary structural material in multi-story buildings. This study investigated whether an existing 10-
