    • Mechanical properties of compressed wood 

      Namari, Siavash; Drosky, Lukas; Pudlitz, Bianka; Haller, Peer; Sotayo, Adeayo; Bradley, Daniel; Mehra, Sameer; O'Ceallaigh, Conan; Harte, Annette M.; El-Houjeyri, Imane; Oudjene, Marc; Guan, Zhongwei (Elsevier, 2021-08-03)
      Wood is a natural composite material. However, its relatively low mechanical properties restrict the use in advanced structural applications but recent studies have shown that Compressed Wood (CW), with superior mechanical ...

    • Modified wood as compression reinforcement of timber perpendicular to the grain 

      O’Ceallaigh, Conan; Conway, Michael; Mehra, Sameer; Harte, Annette M. (National University of Ireland Galway, 2021-08-09)
      An investigation was carried out to examine the potential to utilise modified wood as a reinforcement for timber subjected to compression loading perpendicular to the grain. In recent years there has been a significant ...

    • Numerical investigation of the structural behaviour of adhesive free connections utilising modified wood 

      O’Ceallaigh, Conan; Mosheni, Iman; Mehra, Sameer; Harte, Annette M. (National University of Ireland Galway, 2021-08-09)
      An investigation was carried out to examine the potential to use modified wood as a replacement for metallic connections in timber structures. In recent years, there have been several studies examining the potential to ...

    • The structural behaviour of compressed wood manufactured using fast-grown sitka spruce 

      O’Ceallaigh, Conan; McGetrick, Patrick; Harte, Annette M. (National University of Ireland Galway, 2021-08-09)
      An investigation was carried out to examine the potential to manufacture a compressed wood product from fast-grown Sitka spruce, using a process of thermo-mechanical compression to increase its strength and stiffness. The ...
