Serviceability and ultimate performance of long span timber floor modules [PDF]
, 2012 The advent of engineered wood products (EVVP’s) such as LVL and glulam as well as a new generation of adhesives has provided the means to fabricate large section, long spanning structural members with similar structural properties to that of steel or ...

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.This study demonstrates the feasibility of an underground closed‐loop thermal storage facility at a post‐mining site, intended for seasonal heat energy storage. Its principal design shows water flow directions in winter and summer (1, 2), heat pumps (3), an upper water reservoir (4), and connecting pipes (5).

Ecography, EarlyView.Where early successional forests are more flammable than old‐growth forests, forested landscapes are vulnerable to shifting into ‘fire traps' through positive feedbacks, where fire leads to more fire. These feedbacks are amplified by increased flammability driven by climate change, the presence of non‐native flammable plant species, and slowed ...

Tree-shaped Timber Structural System [PDF]
, 2015 This paper focuses on the main characteristics of a TREE-SHAPED TIMBER STRUCTURAL SYSTEM, or simply, Tree-Shaped. One of them is the complexity of its steel connections, responsible for the joint of bar elements, compounding a complex structural system ...
