Wood is a natural composite material. One the strength of wood is its good ratio of
mechanical properties with respect to density, which can be further improved by …

Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) has been used in the construction industry because of its
advantages such as high strength, light weight, corrosion resistance, low density and high …

Engineered timber elements are gaining wide acceptance in construction with the increased
practice of mass timber structures. The design of moment resistance connection is a …

This paper investigates the rotational behavior of bolted glulam beam-to-column
connections reinforced by knee brace. Due to the low rotational stiffness of conventional …

A fully coupled moisture-displacement finite element model has been developed to predict
the viscoelastic, mechano-sorptive and swelling/shrinkage behaviour of FRP reinforced …

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 …

The widespread use of energy-intensive metallic connectors and synthetic adhesives in
modern timber construction has negative implications for the end-of-life disposal or re-use of …

Adding reticulated basalt fibres to wood-based panels as reinforcing materials can improve
their strength-to-weight ratio and thus increase their material efficiency. This study …

Ammonium polyphosphate (APP) is one of the most widely used halogen-free flame
retardant, added in various resins to improve the fire properties, such as flame and smoke …

Abstract The use of Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) reinforcement has been shown to
improve the short-term flexural behaviour of timber elements. This is particularly important …
