    • Design concepts for building products optimised for deconstruction 

      Uí Chúláin, Caitríona; Sandin, Ylva; Walsh, St. John; Shotton, Elizabeth; Cramer, Marlene; Ridley-Ellis, Daniel; Carlsson, Anders; Jackson, Nicola; Östling, Janina; Harte, Annette M. (National University of Ireland Galway, 2022-02)
      The Innovative Design for the Future Use and Reuse of Wooden building components (InFutUReWood) project aims to answer two main questions: ¿ How easy is it to reuse timber from the current building stock, especially as ...

    • Experimental investigation of the serviceability behaviour of a cross laminated timber floor 

      Uí Chúláin, Caitríona; Harte, Annette M. (NUI Galway, 2018-08-29)
      European timber design standards set out basic serviceability limit design criteria for single span, simply supported floors, but the rotational stiffness of the fixing system and two-way support possible with modern solid ...

    • Influence of connection systems on serviceability response of CLT timber flooring 

      Uí Chúláin, Caitríona; Sikora, Karol; Harte, Annette M. (TU Verlag Wien, 2016-08-22)
      In this paper finite element analysis of a five layer cross-laminated timber (CLT) rectangular floor is presented. The model was developed using 3D shell elements with linear elastic orthotropic material properties. Support ...

    • Recovered timber in Europe: sources, classification, existing and potential reuse and recycling 

      Harte, Annette M.; Uí Chúláin, Caitríona; Nasiri, Bahareh; Hughes, Mark; Llana, Daniel F.; Íñiguez-González, Guillermo; de Arana-Fernández, Marina; Shotton, Elizabeth; Walsh, St. John; Ridley-Ellis, Daniel; Cramer, Marlene; Risse, Michael; Ivanica, Raphaela; Cristescu, Carmen; Sandberg, Karin; Sandin, Ylva; Turk, Goran; Plos, Mitja; Šuligoj, Tamara; Hogan, Paul (National University of Ireland Galway, 2020-09-30)
      The Innovative Design for the Future Use and Reuse of Wooden building components (InFutUReWood) project aims to examine if recovered timber is suited for contemporary timber architecture. To address this aim, a study was ...

    • Recovered wood as raw material for structural timber products. Characteristics, situation and study cases: Ireland and Spain 

      Llana, Daniel F.; Íñiguez-González, Guillermo; de Arana-Fernández, Marina; Uí Chúláin, Caitríona; Harte, Annette M. (International Society of Wood Science and Technology (SWST), 2020-07-12)
      The circular economy is an efficient system to reuse materials reducing the amount of waste generated. In order to implement it in the timber sector, the InFutUReWood (Innovative Design for the Future Use and Reuse of ...

      Uí Chúláin, Caitríona; Gil-Moreno, David; Llana, Daniel F.; González-Alegre, Violeta; Íniguez-González, Guillermo; Plos, Mitja; Turk, Goran; Risse, Michael; Stemmer, Michael; Ivanica, Raphaela; Richter, Klaus; Cramer, Marlene; Ridley-Ellis, Daniel; Cristescu, Carmen; Sandberg, Karin; Hogan, Paul; Harte, Annette M. (National University of Ireland Galway, 2022-02)
      The Innovative Design for the Future Use and Reuse of Wooden building components (InFutUReWood) project aims to examine if recovered timber is suited for contemporary timber architecture. To address this aim, series of ...

    • Traceability protocols for timber construction materials and products 

      Uí Chúláin, Caitríona; McGetrick, Patrick J.; Harte, Annette M. (National University of Ireland Galway, 2022-01)
      The Innovative Design for the Future Use and Reuse of Wooden building components (InFutUReWood) project aims to examine if secondary wood (wood-salvage) is equally suited for contemporary architecture¿ This report outlines ...
