Using Mass Timber in Multi-Storey and Non-Residential Construction Projects: Motivations and Barriers for Professionals in Quebec

BioResources
Despite their environmental benefits and technical viability, mass timber structures adoption remains limited. As an alternative to steel and concrete in non-residential and multi-storey construction, they represent only 10.2% of buildings four or fewer ...

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).

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 ...

Managing Strategically in Public Procurement: Dynamic Capabilities, Set‐Asides, and Contract Outcomes

Strategic Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A key challenge in public procurement management is balancing equity and efficiency in government procurement. Based on longitudinal data on more than 120,000 US federal service and construction contracts awarded between 2008 and 2018 across over 500 federal agencies, we examine how agency‐level dynamic capabilities shape the performance of ...
