Bamboo based composite materials have become an effective alternative for the green
development in the field of civil engineering. This paper proposed a novel bamboo based …

This paper presents an experimental study to assess the structural performance of dowelled
cross-laminated timber (CLT) hold-down connections that are critical components for a CLT …

Embedment strength is an important factor in the design and performance of connections in
timber structures. This study assesses the embedment strength of lag screws in three-ply …

This paper presents a systematic study of the rotational performance of large-size glulam
bolted joints (section height of at least 600 mm). The mechanical properties were …

Birch plywood has superior mechanical properties compared with plywood made from most
softwood species, which makes it suitable for structural application. Plywood is also more …

Push-out tests were conducted on 15 groups of symmetric timber-timber composite (TTC)
joints with coach screw shear connectors. The push-out test results were used to …

The aim of this paper was to provide a better understanding of the mechanical behaviour of
laminated-bamboo lumber nailed connection loaded monotonically. The specimens varied …

The embedment properties of the dowel-type fasteners is a fundamental parameter that can
determine the shear resisting performance of the connections utilized in cross-laminated …

Scrimber composite is a novel engineered wood-based construction material that is
manufactured by reconstituting structural lumber using small-diameter tree species. In this …

The strength property of dowel-type connections in cross-laminated timber (CLT) is
dependent on the embedment strength of the adopted dowels. In this study, eight groups …
