The construction of timber buildings has increased in recent years, thanks to the excellent
properties of the material. To achieve improved behaviour in terms of mechanical properties …

Despite offering very attractive advantages over traditional joining methods, one of the
setbacks of adhesive bonding is its long-term strength in aggressive environments, such as …

Abstract Timber-concrete-composites (TCC) are structural elements in which a timber
component is connected to a concrete layer such to form a composite. The advantageous …

If there is one domain of civil engineering in which adhesives are currently booming, then it
is timber engineering. Natural adhesives have been used for centuries to structurally …

Over recent decades, the need to comply with environmental standards has become a
concern in many industrial sectors. As a result, manufacturers have increased their use of …

Capacity prediction of adhesively bonded joints remains challenging; this is particularly true
for tubular joints composed of circular hollow sections used in civil engineering. This paper …

Abstract Glued-in-rods (GiR) represent a class of joints being used in timber engineering
that are mostly used to transfer axial loads in structural members with Glass Fibre …

The second part of this series of two papers presents the modelling and strength prediction
of Glued-in Rods (GiR) experimentally investigated in Part I. Unlike what has been …

Adhesive bonding is integral across countless industrial domains, although conventional
practices present limitations. Ultrasonic–assisting adhesive bonding has recently emerged …

Although adhesively bonded timber joints have proven their suitability as a structural joining
method, and often provide a better mechanical performance, practitioners remain reluctant …
