An investigation of the viscoelastic creep behaviour of basalt fibre reinforced timber elements
(Elsevier, 2018-08-01)
An investigation was carried out to examine the effect of flexural reinforcement on the long-term behaviour of timber beams. Creep tests, utilising statistically matched groups, were performed under Service Class 1 conditions ...
The influence of panel lay-up on the characteristic bending and rolling shear strength of CLT
(MDPI, 2018-08-21)
The objective of this study was to characterise the behaviour of cross laminated timber
(CLT) panels and the influence of the panel lay-up on the failure strength. Three different panel
configurations of thickness, 60 ...
The elastic and ductile behaviour of CLT wall-floor connections and the influence of fastener length
(Elsevier, 2019-03-30)
An investigation was carried out to examine the influence of the fastener length on the elastic and ductile failure behaviour of typical steel-to-timber bracket connections in Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) manufactured from ...
The mechano-sorptive creep behaviour of basalt FRP reinforced timber elements in a variable climate
(Elsevier, 2019-09-25)
The use of Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) reinforcement has been shown to improve the short-term flexural behaviour of timber elements. This is particularly important when reinforced elements are subjected to a variable ...
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 ...
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 ...
