Wood and engineered wood products are green construction materials with excellent
mechanical properties, widely utilized in various buildings and bridges. This paper reviews …

Changes in the condition of existing timber structures can be caused by fatigue or biological
attack, among other things. Replacing damaged timber is still very expensive, so it seems …

Due to the low embodied carbon and renewable features, wood is becoming increasingly
popular in structural engineering. Connections have always been a critical design part …

In the construction industry, material handling plays an important role. Finding proper
locations for construction facilities not only can affect the expenses, but also it can impact on …

Carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates have gained attention for their potential
to reduce carbon emissions in construction. The impact of carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer …

With specific force transmission characteristics and flexible shaping capability, glulam
components have been extensively used in long-span and multi-storey composite timber …

Due to the inevitable involvement of multisource uncertainties related to the load, material
property and geometry in practical engineering designs, robust topology optimization (RTO) …

Due to a large number of design variables involved in the optimization of RC structures, a
multi stage cascade optimization is used. This algorithm speeds up an accurate optimal …

Carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) plates can efficiently repair or enhance the
mechanical properties of the square hollow section. However, the loading end of such a …

Existing studies often rely on deterministic numerical analyses for structural models.
However, test results consistently highlight uncertainties, particularly in variables such as …
