Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Circular economy (CE) is increasingly adopted by the manufacturing industry to decouple economic growth from environmental impacts by optimizing resource use and minimizing waste generation. Nevertheless, circular manufacturing often triggers systemic responses that diminish or offset their potential environmental gains, resulting in the so ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper presents a novel yet practical friction‐based structural component design for low‐damage earthquake‐resistant structures. The proposed connection design is based on a conventional slotted‐bolted configuration with the novelty being the use of loose steel washer plates to establish the friction‐sliding interface.

Behavior of Long‐Slotted Perforated Steel Plate Fuses in Timber Brace End Connections
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Steel perforated plate fuses have emerged as a promising solution for mass timber seismic force‐resisting systems, offering tunable energy dissipation mechanisms, such as flexural and shear yielding, through geometric adjustments. This study examines the cyclic performance of perforated steel plate fuses employed in timber braced frames, with ...

Application of small-diameter round timber as structural members in light frame construction
Journal of Asian Architecture and Building Engineering, 2022 Small-diameter round timber is a kind of by-product mainly from the thinning operation of the plantations. It is plentiful and inexpensive, and is generally destined for non-structural applications.

The Design of a semi-prefabricated LVL-concrete composite floor [PDF]
, 2012 This paper describes the design of a novel semi-prefabricated LVL-concrete composite floor that has been developed in New Zealand. In this solution, the floor units made from LVL joists and plywood are prefabricated in the factory and transported to 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 ...
