Mechanical Performance Analysis of Clt and Structural Timber Rails Under Compression Tests [PDF]
Prefabricated timber modules can help make the building sector more sustainable by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However, structural challenges, like vertical relative deformations and the buckling of timber studs on timber rails still limit the ...

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study addresses the influence of fibre architecture on the mechanical properties of vacuum‐infused glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites at elevated temperatures (ET). Laminates with three different fibre configurations—unidirectional (UD), bidirectional 0°/90° cross‐ply (BD), and ±45° off‐axis angle‐ply (OA) – were tested in ...

Study on Aseismic Characteristics of Tibetan Ancient Timber Structure
Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2017 Tibetan ancient timber structure has great historical, cultural, artistic, and scientific values. The structural configuration of members such as wall, roof, slab, and timber skeleton with semirigid joints is studied in this paper based on field survey ...

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.

Multi-storey modular manoeuvres : Innovative architectural stacking methodology based on three Swedish timber building systems [PDF]
, 2012 The authors present a logical outline for an innovative architectural stacking methodology based on three Swedish timber construction systems. They discuss the increased architectural–engineering quality, sustainable advantages, and cost effectiveness of

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.

Cross laminated timber construction for resisting lateral loads on six level buildings. [PDF]
, 2010 The paper’s intention is to contribute to the general discussion on timber multi-level commercial buildings. Interest in this topic is expected due to the environmental advantages of timber construction when compared to concrete and steel.

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
