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.

3D numerical model in nonlinear analysis of the interaction between subsoil and SFCR slab [PDF]
, 2017 For decades attention has been paid to interaction of foundation structures and subsoil and, in turn, to development of interaction models. Complexity of a static solution is given mainly by selection of a computational model, effects of physical ...

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 ...

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.
