Engineered wood products (EWPs) are being increasingly used as construction materials.
EWPs are currently being made using synthetic adhesives or metal fasteners, which lead to …

Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is one of the most sustainable, robust, and green building
materials nowadays and is normally used for walls, floors, or roofs. The number of studies on …

In recent years, the construction industry has seen a greater focus on the use of sustainable
construction materials to reduce the environmental impact of buildings. Timber is one such …

The widespread use of energy-intensive metallic connectors and synthetic adhesives in
modern timber construction has negative implications for the end-of-life disposal or re-use of …

This experimental study aims to improve the engineering properties of coconut wood by
using a thermal compression method (TM). The effects of original wood density and …

The use of timber in construction in medium–high rise construction has increased in recent
years largely due to the significant innovation in engineered wood products and connection …

An investigation was carried out to examine the potential to utilise densified wood dowels as
a reinforcement for timber subjected to compression loading perpendicular to the grain …

Timber, a renewable resource with a low carbon footprint, has a giant potential to replace
reinforced concrete (RC) structures in housing, which can decrease the environmental …

This study investigates frame corner joints built of birch plywood plates and glulam elements
connected via self-tapping screws. Analytical calculations based on the fastener group's …

This study reveals timber-timber composite joints consisting of glulam pieces and birch
plywood plates with three different load-to-face grain angles. Utilizing a similar number of …
