Use of timber as a construction material has entered a period of renaissance since the
development of high-performance engineered wood products, enabling larger and taller …

This paper provides a novel insight into using reversible mass timber connectors in light-
timber framed (LTF) construction to create dismountable, panelised LTF construction …

This research presents the mechanical performance of self-tapping screw-reinforced slotted-
in bamboo-steel-bamboo (BSB) connections and the corresponding capacity models. The …

To solve the design and calculation method of the connections in modern bamboo structure,
experimental investigation and calculation method for the bearing capability of bolt steel-to …

Nowadays, the use of timber as a building material is gaining more prominence. When
designing timber structures, it is necessary to pay increased attention to the design of their …

In timber structures, knowledge of the splitting capacity of beams loaded perpendicular to
the grain by dowel-type connections is of primordial importance since brittle failure can …

Joints in timber structures are a component that have a considerable effect on the costs,
ductility, reliability and load-bearing capacity of a structure. The load-bearing capacity of …

Timber structures have advantages such as green environmental protection and low-carbon
energy conservation. Bolted connection with steel plate as one of the most commonly used …

Connections in timber beams loaded perpendicular to the wood grain are prone to brittle
splitting failure. Different approaches can be found in the literature and design codes to …

The use of a fracture mechanics approach for design of engineering structures is relatively
rare compared to stress or stiffness based approach. Using a fracture mechanics approach …
