Experimental behaviour of wood columns under cyclic buckling: choice of damage parameters
European Journal of Environmental and Civil Engineering, 2014During earthquakes, structural elements like columns can fail by loss of strength but also by geometric instability such as buckling. The aim of this work is to analyse the experimental carrying capacity of such elements. Buckling experiments on solid wood, laminated veneer lumber and glulam specimens are carried on. Monotonous buckling tests are first

Three hundred Reticulitermes virginicus (Banks) workers were exposed to three 1-cm3 wood blocks of either Quercus sp. (Red Oak), Populus sp. (Poplar), Pinus sp. (Pine), or Sequoia sp. (Redwood) placed into one of the three bioassay designs (no-, two-, and four-choice) for 21 d. Termite wood consumption was measured by wood weight loss, resistance class,

HEATING COSTS AND HOUSEHOLD WOOD STOVE ACQUISITION: A DISCRETE CHOICE DEMAND MODEL
1985This paper examines the acquisition of wood stoves by New Hampshire households through use of a utility-maximizing discrete choice model. The analysis is based on the hypothesis that wood stoves are acquired to decrease the monetary costs of home-heating.

Analytical hierarchy process for optimised choice of machines for secondary wood industries
Journal of the Institute of Wood Science, 2009Abstract The choice of the best machines for furniture industries is very important due to the high investment in the industry. The aim of this research was to determine and prioritize three types of machine which can be used in the secondary wood industries.

Assessing methodological choices in wood-based biorefinery LCA literature
Bio-refining is a process (or several processes) that converts any biomass into multiple beneficial products. Bio-refining is complex and is rapidly transforming given the increasing demand for bio-based materials particularly to augment the functionality of biomass.Lancz, Kíra +2 more
