Testing a full size structure requires very expensive means. Therefore, an alternative
approach consists of testing a representative scaled down model, whose design is based on …

L'approche générale pour la prédiction du comportement mécanique des assemblages, dite
la" méthode des composantes", résulte de travaux de recherches effectués dans le cadre de …

Since the test method for compression strength perpendicular to the grain was changed from
a partial area to a full area loading test, strength values for softwood in EN 338 were …

Testing a full size structure requires very expensive means. Therefore, the proposed
methodology consists in testing a representative scaled down model, whose design is …

Numerical models, like the phenomenological Beam-On-Foundation (BOF) approach, have
proven to be an efficient alternative to the analytical European Yield Model (EYM) for the …

Résumé L'architecture non-standard en bois explore l'étendue des possibilités techniques
et esthétiques pour de nouveaux usages répondant à des exigences fonctionnelles …

In this work, a constitutive law describing the hydro-mechanical behaviour of wood is
presented. The main novelty of developed 3D FE model, among literature hardening …

Au néolithique, l'homme commence à se sédentariser en adoptant un modèle de
subsistance basé sur l'élevage et l'agriculture, donnant ainsi lieu à la création des premiers …

In the present study, results of experimental tests with single dowel joints loaded at different
angles to the grain are presented and compared to yield theory. To explain the difference …

Brittle failures should be avoided in timber structures because they engender unpredictable
collapse in case of cyclic plastic deformations such as during earthquakes. In such cases …
