Experimental and nonlinear finite-element analysis study on lateral push resistance of San-dou components perpendicular and parallel to grain in traditional timber buildings

Journal of Wood Science, 2022
Dou-gong is an essential part of traditional timber buildings in East Asia, having a decoration function and a load transfer function. The San-dou component, which is vulnerable to the lateral push force of the Gong, Fang, and purlin, is a critical ...

Influence of sheet/purlin fasteners spacing on shear flexibility of the diaphragm

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
The paper presents the influence of sheet/purlin fasteners location (in reference to trapezoidal profile cross section) on shear flexibility of the cladding acting as a diaphragm. Analytical procedures were presented and their limitations were discussed.

STRUCTURAL FIRE BEHAVIOUR OF Z PURLINS

Applications of Structural Fire Engineering, 2016
Cold-formed sections are very common and efficient as secondary load-caring structural members. But the current European design standard EN 1993-1-2 sets the limiting temperature for the Class 4 sections to 350°C which is generallyvery conservative approach.This paper is focused on the thin-walled profilebehaviourin case offire.

Calculation of precast monolithic slab with flexible connections [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
The paper presents a method of calculating a precast-monolithic slab of new construction with flexible ties. The relevance of the problem lies in the development of a new design of precast-monolithic reinforced concrete slab, which leads to a reduction ...

Numerical Approaches for the Analysis of Glass Facades Under Seismic Loads

Earthquake Engineering and Resilience, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 21-44, March 2026.
Glass facades have gained more popularity due to their highly impacting esthetic and sustainable applications. However, their constitutive glass components are rather vulnerable and need proper analysis strategies to design them in efficient structural terms, especially against extreme loads, such as earthquakes.

Potential drivers of fast growth in Paulownia

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 516-529, March 2026.
Trees in the genus Paulownia play a crucial role in sustainable forestry, rural economic development, and carbon mitigation due to their rapid growth, exceptional hardwood properties, and prominent carbon sequestration capacity. This review highlights the societal value of Paulownia trees and synthesizes several potential drivers of extraordinarily ...

Fourier Series Approach for the Vibration of Euler–Bernoulli Beam under Moving Distributed Force: Application to Train Gust

Shock and Vibration, 2019
The dynamic response of an Euler–Bernoulli beam under moving distributed force is studied. By decomposing the distributed force into Fourier series and extending them to semi-infinite sine waves, the complex procedure for solving this problem is ...

Numerical analysis of the stability behaviour of castellated beams and comparison to regular hot‐rolled profiles

Steel Construction, Volume 19, Issue 1, Page 50-59, February 2026.
Abstract Castellated steel beams, characterised by their unique perforated web design, have gained significant popularity in the construction of medium‐span structures, like industrial and office buildings. These beams offer an economical solution due to their increased bending moment capacity about the major axis with relatively low weight and ...
