The primary issues restricting fast-growing wood utilization in buildings are its low
dimensional stability and lack of strength grading. Thermal treatment has been shown to …

Using bamboo and timber to manufacture cross-laminated timber-bamboo (CLTB)
composites could utilize the advantages of two material to improve the mechanical …

The creep behavior of bamboo due to the complicated influences of environment and stress
will lead to a sustained increase in deformation, which serious effects the service …

Cross-laminated timber (CLT) can be used as an element in various parts of timber
structures, such as bridges. Fast-growing hardwood species, like poplar, are useful in …

Recently, to enlarge the source of raw materials and improve the mechanical properties of
cross-laminated timber (CLT), some local wood species, hardwood and Engineering wood …

Thermal modification has been commonly perceived to improve wood dimensional stability,
but decreases certain main mechanical properties. This research aimed to optimize thermal …

Since it becomes clear that we will need to be more bio-economy oriented in the future,
there is a clear need to assess the potential of the wood resource as well as to prioritise …

Wood under thermo-mechanical densification behaves differently depending on the cross-
sectional growth ring orientation (GRO) relative to the direction of compression. This …

The paper demonstrates improved structural low-frequency vibroacoustic performance of
cross-laminated timber (CLT) floor panels by informed selection of the wood material. The …

Japanese larch is one of the main plantation tree species in China. A lack of engineered
wood products made by Japanese larch, however, limits its application in wood structures. In …
