Currently, there is no “timber moment frame structural system,” as the basic glulam beam‐to‐
column connections (usually represented by the bolted connections with slotted‐in steel …

Glued-in rods connections are widely used as a post-anchoring reinforcement technique in
timber structures. The rods are inserted into boreholes with adhesive and then cured to form …

Self-centering heavy timber frames rely on the self-centering beam-column timber
connections to limit damage and provide the recentering capability. However, low …

This study employs soft computing techniques, including artificial neural network (ANN)
models and gene expression programming (GEP), to enhance the prediction of ultimate load …

Timber constructions face the challenge of degradation of wood and its connections when
exposed to harsh environmental conditions, leading to a reduction in load-bearing capacity …

A self-centering steel-timber hybrid beam-column connection design was proposed to
improve performance of conventional self-centering timber beam-column connections. The …

The increasing popularity of cross-laminated timber (CLT) provides opportunities to extend
the use of wood beyond traditional low-rise residential construction. For the high …

Glue in rod (GIR) connections in timber structures are used, as they enable the
prefabrication of timber sections and frames. However, uncertainties of achieving perfect …

The rise in popularity of mass timber structures globally has increased the demand for high-
performance timber connections. Glued-in rod connections which are advantageous …

Glued-in rod (GiR) is a reliable moment resistant connection method applied in timber
structures. To investigate the pull-out performance of GiR connections parallel to the grain in …
