The design of connections is crucial to the overall stability of timber structures, especially in modern wood constructions. Although mechanical connections are currently more commonly used (Breyer et al., 2014), …
Timber connections are crucial because they function to connect the timber elements together as a structural system. In large-scale timber structures, the structural elements are usually connected by means of …
Plywood is one of the well known wood panel materials their panel sizes are standardized. After cutting plywood according to the required dimensions of the client needs production residues extent …
In the present study, hydrothermal modification of birch veneer was carried out in a WTT experimental laboratory device in a water vapour medium, under elevated pressure conditions. Of the investigation …
Numerous scientists are closely related with studies of green composite materials properties. Wood plastic composites (WPC) are ones of them because WPC are perspective and widely used materials in different …
Development steps towards innovative birch plywood sandwich panel production technology by integrating (heat insulation, vibration, damping, impact resistance) will be presented. It is proven than lightweight sandwich structures are mechanically …
Compared to steel plates, plywood plates are competitive in structural connections due to their low carbon footprint, high tolerance during assembly, relatively low cost, and less prefabrication demand (Kromoser et …
The construction industry is increasingly driven by sustainability concerns, prompting a search for alternative materials with a low environmental footprint, such as engineered wood products. Nowadays, connections of timber elements …
Plywood is one of the earliest produced engineered wood products (EWP). It consists of an uneven number of thin veneers, glued together with the grain direction of adjacent veneers perpendicular …
Timber connections with slotted-in steel plates are commonly used in large-scale structures. One alternative could be timber connections with birch plywood plates (Crocetti et al., 2021; Furuheim et al., 2021). …
Plywood made from birch has superior mechanical properties compared with that made from most softwoods, which makes it suitable for structural application. Several previous studies have addressed birch plywood’s structural …
