This paper presents experimental and numerical investigations on multi-layered timber
beams using welded-through wood dowels in place of traditional poly (vinyl acetate)(PVAc) …

The mechanical characteristics of steel-timber composite (STC) connections play an
essential role in the safe and economical design of hybrid STC structures and floor systems …

In this paper, a Finite-Element (FE) numerical investigation on timber-to-timber joints and
composite beams with inclined self-tapping screws (STSs) is presented. Based on past …

Glulam bolted joints with slotted-in steel plates are commonly seen type of joints for post and
beam timber structures. This paper provides a systematic study on the rotational …

Bolted steel to laminated bio-based material connections experience significant
performance challenges due to the nonlinear response and high stress concentrations at …

The safety and serviceability of timber structures are frequently governed by the
performance of joints. Bolted joints are a very commonly used form of joints and are effective …

There is an increasing need for automated design processes that can help guide structural
design towards lower embodied carbon solutions. This research presents a two-material …

Bolted glulam beam-column connections are often subjected to combined shear force and
bending moment induced by the semi-rigid nature of such connections. This paper …

Engineered timber elements are gaining wide acceptance in construction with the increased
practice of mass timber structures. The design of moment resistance connection is a …

Near-surface mounted (NSM) laminate strips of carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) is a
promising technique for increasing the load-carrying capacity of timber beams in bending …
