The influence of age on the timber properties and grading of Scots pine and larch in Ireland
(Oxford University Press, 2023-06-13)
Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and larch (Larix spp.) are two species that could contribute to diversifying Ireland’s timber supply. However, there is little knowledge about their properties as well as their variation ...
Experimental investigation of the moment-rotation behaviour of beam-column connections produced using compressed wood connectors
(Elsevier, 2022-04-04)
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, ...
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 ...
Life cycle assessment of sitka spruce forest products grown in Ireland
(Springer, 2023-08-28)
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to quantify the environmental impacts of Sitka spruce timber products harvested from the forestry sector in Ireland. This data is typically country-specific and is required to accurately ...
Web geometry optimisation of novel latticed LVL-webbed timber I-joists
(Elsevier, 2022-12-02)
This paper presents the finite element analysis of novel composite timber I-joists with curved latticed webs. The flanges of the joists were made from Norway Spruce whilst the curved latticed webs were made from laminated ...
