The construction industry creates significant volumes of waste timber, much of which has
residual quality and value that dissipates in conventional waste management. This research …

Timber structures are environmentally friendly in terms of decreasing the impact of human
activity on the planet. Reliability of timber structures can be provided by the corresponding …

This paper presents a method to expand the availability of wood in construction by
establishing a computational design and robotic fabrication workflow. Digital tools enable …

In Italy, timber-and wood-based products are being increasingly used in construction due to
their outstanding physical and mechanical properties. This paper presents the preliminary …

Cable truss usage allows developing bridges with reduced requirements for girder stiffness,
where overall bridge rigidity is ensured by prestressing of the stabilization cable. The …

The construction industry uses natural resources intensively, and causes significant carbon
emissions in processing resources to supply useful materials and components. Demolition …

The objective of this study is to evaluate the structural behaviour of novel timber-to-timber
panels (TTPs), which are free of adhesives or steel connectors, to be used in floors …

Timber is a sustainable resource, environmentally friendly and aesthetically pleasing. Using
locally grown timber as building material leads to economic, social and environmental …

Cyclic tests of interlocking cross laminated timber shear walls were conducted to determine
hysteretic behavior under lateral load and the effect of anchorage on wall strength. Four 3.05 …

Abstract Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) panels are wooden structural products consisting of
finger jointed boards glued together and arranged in orthogonal layers. The lamination …
