TOWARDS ADAPTABILITY AND CIRCULARITY OF TIMBER BUILDINGS

World Conference on Timber Engineering (WCTE 2023), 2023
The construction industry has been a major contributor to resource consumption and global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, owed to high demand for building construction and the rapid urbanization trend. Timber construction has gained traction globally due to environmental advantages, such as renewability and carbon sequestration.

CONTEMPORARY TIMBER BUILDINGS

SGEM International Multidisciplinary Scientific GeoConference EXPO Proceedings, 2018
The article presents problems associated with attempts at introducing renewable materials into widespread use in architecture, with a particular focus on timber. The execution of this process could make it possible to reduce the amount of waste that is the result of the functioning of the contemporary economy.

Designing timber buildings for longevity

The Structural Engineer, 2021
The urgent need to reduce global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to address the climate crisis has brought the embodied energy of building designs under the spotlight. Using timber in construction can lock CO2 into a building’s structure, helping to reduce upfront carbon emissions, but only for as long as the building remains in use.

Comfort assessment of high‐rise timber buildings exposed to wind‐induced vibrations

The Structural design of tall and special buildings, 2021
The current trend of increasing the height limits of timber buildings makes wind‐induced vibrations a non‐negligible issue. The dynamics of high‐rise timber structures are discussed, focusing on accelerations and comfort assessment of the currently ...
