Retrofit solutions for Irish building stock: The impact of human behaviour
(NUI Galway, 2016)
Retrofitting buildings is recognised as the most immediate, pressing, and cost effective
mechanism to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions in the building and
construction sector. It is necessary to double or ...
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 ...
Mechanical characterisation of green Sitka spruce logs
(NUI Galway, 2016-08-29)
ABSTRACT: Timber is by its nature a very heterogeneous material. Many different factors impact its mechanical properties,
from tree species to environment (climate, competition, soil…). While a number of studies in the ...
