This paper presents a review of the pyrolysis, ignition, and combustion processes
associated with wood, for application in tall timber construction. The burning behaviour of …

Life cycle assessment (LCA) has been used to understand the carbon and energy
implications of manufacturing and using cross-laminated timber (CLT), an emerging and …

Cross laminated timber (CLT) is a mass timber product that is gaining popularity in
construction within North America. CLT is made up of wood, a building material of biological …

Fire resistance and thermal stability are among the most important criteria for engineered
wood product applications in mass-timber buildings. This project investigated the shear …

Biological durability issues in cross-laminated timber (CLT) have been majorly ignored in
North America because of the European origin of the material and careful construction …

Compared with traditional timber boards, timber–concrete composite (TCC) boards
demonstrate a higher rigidity and bearing capacity, improved vibration, and better behavior …

Viability of timber-based solutions for projects is often limited by lengthy modelling and
preliminary design when compared to traditional systems such as precast concrete …

Encapsulation is an effective method for enhancing the reaction to fire of timber structures.
Mortar coatings are widely used to encapsulate traditional timber structures due to their …

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 …
