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 ...
Densified wood dowel reinforcement of timber perpendicular to the grain: a pilot study
(Taylor & Francis, 2021-06-07)
An investigation was carried out to examine the potential to utilise densified wood dowels as a reinforcement for timber subjected to compression loading perpendicular to the grain. While timber has a high strength-to-weight ...
Experimental characterisation of the moment-rotation behaviour of beam-beam connections using compressed wood fasteners
(Elsevier, 2021-09-16)
The widespread use of energy-intensive metallic connectors and synthetic adhesives in modern timber construction has negative implications for the end-of-life disposal or re-use of the structural timber components. Therefore, ...
