Fire safety has always been a major concern in the design of timber construction. Even
though wood is a highly combustible material, timber members can perform adequately …

Steel-to-timber bolted connections play an essential role in enabling glulam column and
beam to work together. However, these connections are prone to bolt looseness due to …

Cross-laminated timber is a relatively new engineered timber material that can be used in
the design and construction of modern timber buildings. A key factor that raises concerns in …

This paper presents a 3D finite element model to analyse the thermo-mechanical behaviour
of dovetail timber joints under standard fire exposure. The mechanical model of timber is …

The thermomechanical behavior of members and connections plays a crucial role in the fire
safety of timber construction. In this study, a unique constitutive model, Wood ST, combining …

Steel-to-timber connections, loaded in tension perpendicular to grain, are tested in cold and
ISO-fire conditions. The experimental results are used to validate a 3D finite element model …

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

Purpose In fire condition, the time to failure of a timber connection is mainly reliant on the
wood charring rate, the strength of the residual wood section, and the limiting temperature of …

Cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels are widely used as structural members applied in a
range of modern timber buildings. Changes in the load-carrying capacity of CLT walls after …

This paper presents the results of the fire resistance of traditional timber mortise-tenon joints
with service damage. Static loading and fire resistance tests were conducted with full scale …
