Use of nondestructive techniques for determination of tension parallel-to-grain properties of spruce
(USDA Forest Service Forest Products Laboratory (FPL), 2019-09-25)
The paper presents a study of the tension properties of Irish-grown Sitka spruce. Fifty timber pieces were destructively tested having resonant frequency and knots measured. The aim was to improve knowledge of the performance ...
Test machine effect in the determination of modulus of elasticity for strength graded timber
(World Conference on Timber Engineering (WCTE2021), 2021-08-09)
This paper investigates if the relationship between the global and local moduli of elasticity (MoE), measured in bending tests, is affected by the test machines employed, and how that may influence strength grading. The ...
Characterisation of Irish-grown Scots pine timber for structural applications
(Civil Engineering Research in Ireland, 2020)
There is very little knowledge on the timber quality of the native Scots pine grown in Ireland, and its potential to
produce timber for structural applications. This paper studied the mechanical performance in tension and ...
Perception and use of timber in construction: A case study of Ireland and the UK
(National University of Ireland Galway, 2021-08-09)
A survey was carried out to examine the perception of timber in construction among industry stakeholders
within northwest Europe. The survey received responses from 17 countries in total. The total results of all ...
