An experimental and numerical study of moisture flow and moisture-induced strain in fast-grown Sitka spruce
(Departamento de Ingeniería en Maderas de la Universidad del Bio-Bio en Concepción, Chile, 2019)
The use of fast-grown timber in the manufacture of engineered wood products is increasing;
however, the fast growth rate results in a low-density timber that is susceptible to significant swelling
and shrinkage deformations ...
The influence of panel lay-up on the characteristic bending and rolling shear strength of CLT
(MDPI, 2018-08-21)
The objective of this study was to characterise the behaviour of cross laminated timber
(CLT) panels and the influence of the panel lay-up on the failure strength. Three different panel
configurations of thickness, 60 ...
Infrared thermography technique as an in-situ method of assessing heat loss through thermal bridging
(Elsevier, 2016-11-17)
A key aspect in assessing the thermal standard of building envelopes is the quantification of the heat loss though thermal bridging, which can be expressed in terms of the linear thermal transmittance Psi. Values of W may ...
Application of infrared thermography technique to the thermal assessment of multiple thermal bridges and windows
(Elsevier, 2018-03-16)
A major contribution to the global trend in reducing energy consumption can be made by improving the thermal performance of buildings. Minimization of heat loss via the building envelope is key to maximizing building energy ...
Application of optimization methods to the design of high performance composite pipelines
(Elsevier, 2003-04-23)
This paper describes a contribution to the research carried out by a consortium under the BRITE/EURAM programme of the EC on the application of optimisation techniques to problems of engineering design using composite ...
Influence of connection systems on serviceability response of CLT timber flooring
(TU Verlag Wien, 2016-08-22)
In this paper finite element analysis of a five layer cross-laminated timber (CLT) rectangular floor is presented. The model was developed using 3D shell elements with linear elastic orthotropic material properties. Support ...
Viscoelastic creep in reinforced glulam
(TU Verlag Wien, 2016-08-22)
The mechanical and physical properties of softwood timber can vary considerably as a result of the age and rate of growth of the tree and other environmental factors which affect the wood cell density and strength [1]. ...
Glued-in basalt FRP rods as moment connections in box section frames
(TU Verlag Wien, 2016-08-22)
This paper presents an experimental programme that investigates the application of glued-in rods as
moment connections in a post and beam connection. Nine such frame corners were constructed of box sections using ...
Timber grading potential of Douglas fir in the Republic of Ireland and the UK
(Taylor & Francis, 2019-05-19)
Results of the recently approved machine control grading settings for Douglas fir in the Republic of Ireland and the UK have shown that the species can be graded to C18, and higher strength classes, and while there is a ...
An experimental study on the key fretting variables for flexible marine risers
(Elsevier, 2017-07-02)
This paper presents an experimental investigation into the effects of contact
conformity, contact pressure and displacement amplitude on the gross-slip fretting behaviour grease-lubricated cylinder-on-flat contacts in the ...
