As environmental conservation and sustainability gain prominence globally, modern timber
structures are receiving increased focus. Nonetheless, the combustible nature of timber …

The thermomechanical behavior of members and connections plays a crucial role in the fire
safety of timber construction. In this study, a unique constitutive model, Wood ST, combining …

A large experimental and numerical program based on fire tests of timber connections under
various mechanical loadings was performed in France since 1999. Numerical models …

The fire resistance of connection plays a crucial role in the fire performance of timber
structures. During the past three decades, massive real-scale fire tests were performed on …

This paper presents a summary of experimental results from various studies conducted
these twenty last years on the behaviour of steel-to-timber or timber-to-timber connections …

Timber–concrete composite (TCC) floors exposed to fire experience charring and thermal
degradation of timber, leading to a reduction in load-carrying capacity. Finite element (FE) …

In this study, an analytical approach is developed to estimate the fire resistance of glulam
bolted connections under coupled shear force and bending moment. This approach …

There is a lack of knowledge on the structural reliability of dowel-type connections exposed
to fire. The objective of this paper is to propose a model for the structural reliability analysis …

Mass timber is increasing in popularity all over the world due to the advantages such as
shorter erection time and lower carbon footprint. However, unlike other commonly used …

The mechanical behavior of beam-to-column connections has a crucial influence on the
lateral performance of post-and-beam timber structures. During the last two decades, a few …
