Rethinking CTBUH height criteria in the context of tall timber
, 2017 Recent developments in the design and construction of progressively taller buildings using engineered timber as a structural material raise important questions about the language that is used to describe tall buildings.

Students in high-rise: Aspects influencing the design of tall timber buildings
, 2021 Tall timber buildings are of growing interest worldwide and also in the Netherlands. With the introduction of CLT, higher timber buildings are possible compared to traditional timber frame housing.

A novel seismic connector for precast concrete shear walls
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract A critical aspect of the seismic performance of precast concrete walls is the deformation capacity of their connections, which can be limited by premature bar fracture, reinforcement buckling, or cyclic instability. This paper introduces and experimentally validates a new ultra‐ductile connector (UltraDC) that provides reliable force transfer ...

Habitat selection of moose in Sweden in managed boreal forests with Pinus contorta and P. sylvestris
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Human land use can take advantage of using exotic species to increase financial benefits. However, the use of exotic tree species might affect ecosystem functioning, potentially including the habitat use and movement behaviour of animals, modifying their ecological impact, and interactions with human land use.

Evaluation of factors affecting greater prairie‐chicken nest and brood survival
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Greater prairie‐chickens Tympanuchus cupido pinnatus in the Flint Hills ecoregion select recently burned grasslands for brooding and nest in areas that have been unburned for 1–3 years, suggesting the need for a mosaic of burn patches. However, it is unknown how patch area, configuration, and proximity to edges within such mosaics affect reproductive ...

Apex predators exploit advantageous snow conditions across hunting modes
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Advantageous snow conditions—in terms of snow depth and density—are among the most important features of the winter landscape for two apex predators, regardless of hunting strategy. In a warming climate, the knock‐on effects of a diminishing snowpack may reduce the hunting success of multiple large carnivore species.

Design determinants of core efficiency in tall timber buildings: a typological analysis
Discover SustainabilityThis study investigates core efficiency in tall timber buildings by analyzing how vertical core configurations influence usable floor area. As timber gains traction globally as a sustainable material for high-rise construction, understanding the spatial ...
