Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is increasingly being used in lateral load resisting systems of
multi-storey buildings. Conventional in-plane CLT shear walls can be transformed into CLT …

This paper presents an experimental study to evaluate the use of spatially arranged self-
tapping screws (STS) as shear connections for cross-laminated timber panels. Specifically …

This paper provides a novel insight into using reversible mass timber connectors in light-
timber framed (LTF) construction to create dismountable, panelised LTF construction …

An experimental investigation into the behaviour of connections between cold-formed steel
and timber components, formed with inclined screws, is presented. A series of material tests …

This paper experimentally examines structural performance of novel cross laminated timber
(CLT) hold-down connections consisting of customised steel brackets and self-tapping …

An experimental investigation into the behaviour of bespoke shear connectors designed to
generate composite action in cold-formed steel-timber structures is presented. The response …

With the growing global tendency towards sustainable construction techniques, the use of
renewable material regains attention from the industry. Cross laminated timber (CLT), as a …

In steel-timber composite floors, the screw connection between the H-steel and timber slab
is vitally important, and the accurate calculation of the withdrawal performance of screws is …

A glulam spliced joint connected with self-tapping screws and prestressed steel strips was
proposed and investigated. An experimental study was conducted considering the variation …

Timber structures are susceptible to sound propagation problems. The issue can be
mitigated by decoupling structural components at connections level by means of …
