    • Evaluation of the mechanical behaviour of novel latticed LVL-webbed joists 

      Harte, Annette M.; Baylor, Gordon; O’Ceallaigh, Conan (Bentham Open, 2019-01-23)
      The mechanical behaviour of a novel I-joist having a latticed Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) web is investigated. A total of 30 joists with C24 Grade flanges and latticed LVL webs were manufactured and tested to failure. ...

    • The influence of age on the timber properties and grading of Scots pine and larch in Ireland 

      Gil-Moreno, David; Manso, Rubén; O’Ceallaigh, Conan; Harte, Annette M. (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 ...

    • Life cycle assessment of sitka spruce forest products grown in Ireland 

      Dolan, Desmond; O’Ceallaigh, Conan; Gil-Moreno, David; McGetrick, Patrick J.; Harte, Annette M. (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 ...

    • The relationship between bending and tension strength of Irish and UK spruce and pine 

      Gil-Moreno, David; Ridley-Ellis, Dan; O’Ceallaigh, Conan; Harte, Annette M. (Springer, 2022-02-07)
      The correct characterisation of wood properties is fundamental for the best utilisation of resources. In Europe, grading is defined by strength classes that are determined based on either bending or tension tests. The ...
