Evaluation of the structural behaviour of beam-beam connection systems using compressed wood dowels and plates
Mehra, Sameer; O’Ceallaigh, Conan; Hamid - Lakzaeian, Fatemeh; Guan, Zhongwei; Sotayo, Adeayo; Harte, Annette M. (NUI Galway, 2018-08-20)To support the transition to a bio-based society, it is preferable to substitute metallic fasteners and adhesives in timber construction with an eco-friendly alternative. Recent studies have identified compressed wood ... -
Modified wood as compression reinforcement of timber perpendicular to the grain
O’Ceallaigh, Conan; Conway, Michael; Mehra, Sameer; Harte, Annette M. (National University of Ireland Galway, 2021-08-09)An investigation was carried out to examine the potential to utilise modified wood as a reinforcement for timber subjected to compression loading perpendicular to the grain. In recent years there has been a significant ... -
Numerical investigation of the structural behaviour of adhesive free connections utilising modified wood
O’Ceallaigh, Conan; Mosheni, Iman; Mehra, Sameer; Harte, Annette M. (National University of Ireland Galway, 2021-08-09)An investigation was carried out to examine the potential to use modified wood as a replacement for metallic connections in timber structures. In recent years, there have been several studies examining the potential to ... -
Reinforcement of timber elements in compression perpendicular to the grain using compressed wood dowels
Conway, Michael; O'Ceallaigh, Conan; Mehra, Sameer; Harte, Annette M. (National University of Ireland Galway, 2020-08-27)ABSTRACT: In the past decade, there has been an increased focus on the environmental impacts of construction and a movement towards more sustainable construction products. Timber is one such sustainable product that can ...
