Products derived from trees have been used by mankind for thousands of years, where
timber has a long tradition as an ecological construction material. There is currently an …

This paper presents a constitutive model for the simulation of temperature and relative
humidity effects on concrete expansion due to Alkali–Silica Reaction (ASR). The model was …

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

Cross-laminated timber (CLT) slabs in residential buildings need additional weight, eg, in
the form of screeds or gravel layers, to fulfill the criterion for the highest impact-sound class …

Material properties of wood under compression perpendicular to the grain and rolling shear
are important for the engineering design of timber structures. This regards the short-term …

The variability of the physical and mechanical properties of wood requires that the analysis
of its long-term behavior take into account all the factors capable of modifying these …

This thesis makes a contribution to the development of diagonal laminated timber (DLT), a
composite timber product consisting of individual layers which are rotated to each other at a …

Recent rapid improvements in laminated timber technology have led to the increased use of
wood in both mid-and high-rise construction, generally posed as a more carbon-friendly …

Mass timber has gained increasing focus as a sustainable alternative to concrete structures,
and recent innovations have allowed timber buildings as high as 25 stories. However …

This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation of glued laminated timber
(glulam) beams made from European hornbeam (Carpinus betulus L.) under constant …
