Various abiotic and biotic agents have a negative effect on the service life of materials used for bridge constructions. Corrosion of steel, carbonization of concrete and decay of timber are …
Laminated timber products (Gluelam and CLT), are increasingly used as structural building materials. The motivation is often based on the environmental performance of low carbon footprint in manufacturing and indoor …
Service life of timber bridges is predominantly affected by the site-specific climatic conditions in terms of moisture and temperature over time, the overall design and the design of details. In …
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 …
This research investigated the feasibility of using framing softwood, recovered from building deconstruction, as a feedstock for structural glulam manufacture. It covered the sourcing of timber from a demolition site; …
In recent years, large-dimensional structural timber elements are highly demanded for the construction of high-rise timber buildings as well as large-span structures (Peñaloza, 2017). However, long-span wooden products are not …
Nowadays, there are many ongoing studies on the developments in the wooden construction industry. The example of engineering wood product (EWP) which is constantly gaining a popularity in constructions is …
The five years lasting test of the model glulam beams indicates that the performance of the respective material is determined by the wood species used, potential modification, the adhesive used, …
