Structural health monitoring of an innovative timber building [PDF]
A main focus in timber construction research is the development of innovative, sustainable and reliable structures. In order to determine the long-term structural behaviour of these novel structures, structural health monitoring is a valuable tool.

Seismic performance evaluation of traditional timber hımış frames: capacity spectrum method based assessment [PDF]
Timber constructions have been widely suggested to be seismically resistant based on post-disaster reconnaissance studies. This observation has, however, remained to a large extent anecdotal due to the lack of experimental work supporting it, especially ...
