The effects of planting density on the structural timber properties of 23-year-old Irish-grown Sitka spruce
Simic, Karlo; Gendvilas, Vilius; O’Reilly, Conor; Nieuwenhuis, Maarten; Harte, Annette M. (NUI Galway, 2016-08-29)In Europe, with the move towards more sustainable construction, there is an increasing demand for structural timber. The purpose of this research is to explore new forestry management strategies, which will produce an ... -
The elastic and ductile behaviour of CLT wall-floor connections and the influence of fastener length
O'Ceallaigh, Conan; Harte, Annette M. (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
O'Ceallaigh, Conan; Sikora, Karol; McPolin, Daniel; Harte, Annette M. (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 ... -
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 ...
