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 ...
Modelling the hygro-mechanical creep behaviour of FRP reinforced timber elements
(Elsevier, 2020-06-20)
A fully coupled moisture-displacement finite element model has been developed to predict the viscoelastic, mechano-sorptive and swelling/shrinkage behaviour of FRP reinforced timber elements when stressed under long-term ...
Numerical investigation of reinforcement of timber elements in compression perpendicular to the grain using densified wood dowels
(Elsevier, 2021-03-27)
In recent years, the construction industry has seen a greater focus on the use of sustainable construction materials to reduce the environmental impact of buildings. Timber is one such material that has seen a revival in ...
A global-local fretting analysis methodology and design study for the pressure armour layer of dynamic flexible marine risers
(Elsevier, 2019-09-19)
In this paper, a global-local fretting design methodology for the pressure armour layer of flexible marine risers is outlined. This includes global dynamic riser analysis, geometrical and analytical sub-models and local ...
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, ...
Design concepts for building products optimised for deconstruction
(National University of Ireland Galway, 2022-02)
The Innovative Design for the Future Use and Reuse of Wooden building components (InFutUReWood) project aims to answer two main questions:
¿ How easy is it to reuse timber from the current building stock, especially as ...
Recovered timber in Europe: sources, classification, existing and potential reuse and recycling
(National University of Ireland Galway, 2020-09-30)
The Innovative Design for the Future Use and Reuse of Wooden building components (InFutUReWood) project aims to examine if recovered timber is suited for contemporary timber architecture. To address this aim, a study was ...
Traceability protocols for timber construction materials and products
(National University of Ireland Galway, 2022-01)
The Innovative Design for the Future Use and Reuse of Wooden building components (InFutUReWood) project aims to examine if secondary wood (wood-salvage) is equally suited for contemporary architecture¿ This report outlines ...
Modulus of elasticity prediction through transversal vibration in cantilever beams and ultrasound technique of different wood species
(Elsevier, 2023-02-21)
The prediction of the modulus of elasticity (MOE) of five species of different spectrum density woods, namely, Populus × euramericana I-214 (Poplar), Fagus sylvatica L. (Beech), Quercus pyrenaica L. (Oak), Paulownia elongata ...
Recycling timber in new mass timber construction products
(National University of Ireland Galway, 2022-02)
The Innovative Design for the Future Use and Reuse of Wooden building components (InFutUReWood) project aims to examine if recovered timber is suited for contemporary timber architecture. To address this aim, series of ...
