Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The increasing use of wood and wood‐based composites in construction reflects a global shift toward renewable materials that support sustainable development objectives, including carbon reduction and responsible resource use. While wood offers substantial environmental benefits compared to conventional materials such as concrete and steel, its

Stability and plasticity interaction in building‐size steel sway frames
Steel Construction, EarlyView.Abstract Accurate design rules are crucial for the safety, sustainability and economy of steel structures. To predict the load‐bearing capacity of sway structures, Eurocode 3, Part 1‐1, uses individual member unity checks, which are assumed to include the interaction between members, related to their stability and plastic behaviour.

Monitoring of historical structural materials with computed tomography
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Computed tomography (CT) is an excellent tool to solve certain engineering problems connected to material science (such as sulfate swelling, internal degradation due to freezing, and alkali silicate swelling) and to understand specific processes (frost peeling, acid action).

Early use of the reinforced concrete in the architecture of the Historicism in Austria–Hungary
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract The study examines the early incorporation of reinforced concrete in the architecture of Historicism in Austria–Hungary. Spanning the late 19th to early 20th centuries, the research illuminates the period's stylistic pluralism and the transformative impact of reinforced concrete.
