Seismic Response of a Platform-Frame System with Steel Columns [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Timber platform-frame shear walls are characterized by high ductility and diffuse energy dissipation but limited in-plane shear resistance. A novel lightweight constructive system composed of steel columns braced with oriented strand board (OSB) panels ...

Life-Cycle Assessment of an Office Building: Influence of the Structural Design on the Embodied Carbon Emissions

open access: yesModelling, 2023
In 2020, 37% of global CO2eq. emissions were attributed to the construction sector. The major effort to reduce this share of emissions has been focused on reducing the operational carbon of buildings.

Seismic resistance of existing buildings with added light timber structure storeys

open access: yesGrađevinar, 2022
In the presented paper, the problem of vertical expansions is treated in terms of seismic resistance of structures with added storeys. A large parametric study has been performed, confirming the impact of different number of added storeys, and the change

Sustainable earth walls to meet the building regulations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The thermal conductivity and diffusivity of un-fired clay bricks, a straw clay mixture and straw bales have been measured using a thermal probe technique, with an iterative method for data analysis. The steady-state air-to-air thermal transmittance, or U-

Application of small-diameter round timber as structural members in light frame construction

open access: yesJournal 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.

Experimental study of compartment fire development and ejected flame thermal behavior for a large-scale light timber frame construction

open access: yes, 2021
Most of the previous work focused on fire behavior of non-combustible construction. However, few investigations have systematically addressed fire development and window ejected flame based on large-scale light timber frame construction (LTFC).
