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 …

As environmental conservation and sustainability gain prominence globally, modern timber
structures are receiving increased focus. Nonetheless, the combustible nature of timber …

This study aims to characterize the axial monotonic and cyclic tensile behavior of bolted
steel connections to laminated timber and bamboo, using slotted-in steel plates, and to …

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

In order to utilize recycled glulam as basic elements in novel composite structural
components towards to sustainable production, the physical and mechanical properties of …

Computational modeling of structures subjected to extreme static and dynamic loads (such
as snow, wind, impact, and earthquake) using finite-element software are part of mainstream …

This paper investigates the rotational behavior of bolted glulam beam-to-column
connections reinforced by knee brace. Due to the low rotational stiffness of conventional …

This paper presents experimental and numerical investigations to access the relative fire
structural resistance of thermo-mechanically compressed (or densified) spruce wood. First of …

Multi-storey mass timber buildings constructed with cross laminated timber and glulam are
being developed globally. Where engineered timber such as glulam is utilized, the column …

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 …
