Firebrand Generation From Thermally-Degraded Cylindrical Wooden Dowels [PDF]
Frontiers in Mechanical Engineering, 2019 During wildland fires, firebrands form once they break off of burning vegetation or structures. Many are then lofted into the fire plume where they are transported long distances ahead of the fire front, igniting new “spot” fires as they land.

Experimental evaluation of dowel-type timber joints with wooden dowels
Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers: Structures and Buildings, 2020 Dowel-type timber joints made of wood are of particular interest for interventions on built heritage because such heritage buildings often involve timber structures. Wooden dowels offer a lower cost when compared with other connectors and conform to the tendency for using wood-based solutions to retrofit timber structures.
