Wood is an attractive, versatile, and sustainable construction material with excellent strength
to weight ratio and a lower carbon footprint than other construction materials. One of the …

The current understanding of the thermo-mechanical response of cross-laminated timber
(CLT) walls to fire is insufficiently developed. This paper presents results obtained using a …

This study is part of a research project examining fire risk in cross laminated timber (CLT)
buildings.“Delamination”, a major concern for CLT fire safety, can occur when the adhesive …

In this work the bonding behaviour of finger joints made of three timber species (chestnut,
beech and spruce) and glued with two different structural adhesives (melamine (MUF) and …

The increasing use of cross laminated timber (CLT) panels in large multi-story buildings has
highlighted the structural performance of CLT in fire as a critical issue concerning life safety …

Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is a structural composite, in which layers of crosswise oriented
lamellae are glued together, and it is prevalently used for walls and slabs. This composite …

The paper presents the development of the mathematical model of joint parameters impact,
during solid wood lengthening with a mini tooth, on the joint strength. Impact parameters are …

Heat induced delamination (HID) is a phenomenon in engineered wood products which may
result in the detachment of the bonded timber lamellae before charring propagates to the …

Lap joints were prepared by gluing spruce plates with three types of adhesives (phenol-
resorcinol-formaldehyde, PRF; one-component polyurethane, PUR; and epoxy, EP). The …

This report examined the effect of elevated temperature on the shear strength of wood block
shear specimens bonded using two types of adhesives. The adhesives used were phenol …
