The structural behaviour of compressed wood manufactured using fast-grown sitka spruce
(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 ...
Modified wood as compression reinforcement of timber perpendicular to the grain
(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
(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 ...
Mechanical properties of compressed wood
(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 ...
