Modification factors for predicting the mechanical properties of light-frame timber shear walls for nonlinear static analyses Open
Accurately predicting the mechanical response of timber shear walls is essential for the seismic design of light-frame timber (LFT) structures, particularly when using nonlinear static analyses. Existing models and standard-based equations…
Investigation of Dynamic-Cyclic, Dynamic-Impact, and Timber-Construction-Relevant Characteristics of Wood–Textile Composites Open
Wood–Textile Composites (WTCs) are a new type of composite material based on willow wood strips and polypropylene that combines the properties of classic natural-fiber-reinforced polymers with an innovative textile wood design. While the b…
The effect of the floor-wall interaction on the post-elastic rocking behaviour of segmented CLT shear walls Open
This paper investigates the impact of floor-wall interaction on the lateral rocking behaviour of two-panel segmented Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) shear walls through experimental testing and numerical analyses. The study extends a simplifi…
Cyclic behaviour of Glulam, LVL and GLVL shear walls and their base connections Open
This paper presents an experimental study aimed at characterizing the lateral cyclic behaviour of Glulam (GL), Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL), and Glued Laminated Veneer Lumber (GLVL) shear walls anchored to the foundation by means of conve…
Mechanical Analysis and Simulation of Wood Textile Composites Open
Wood Textile Composites (WTCs) represent a new and innovative class of materials in the field of natural fiber composites. Consisting of fabrics made from willow wood strips (Salix americana) and polypropylene (PP), this material appears t…

ANALYSIS OF DIFFERENT NUMERICAL MODELLING STRATEGIES OF MULTI-STOREY CLT SHEAR WALLS Open
CLT platform-type buildings are characterized by a high level of redundancy due to the high number of connections used in the perimeter of the CLT panels.In this regard, in addition to the connections placed at the base of the walls, other…
VARIATION IN MECHANICAL PROPERTIES WITHIN AND BETWEEN PLANTATION-GROWN GMELINA ARBOREA TREES Open
Recent studies have shown that the material properties of Gmelina -a fast-growing hardwood species, are comparable with those of European-grown softwood species and are suitable for construction purposes.Information on the variation in the…
EXPERIMENTAL CHARACTERISATION OF GLULAM SHEAR WALLS UNDER LATERAL CYCLIC LOADING Open
This paper presents the results of an experimental campaign aimed at investigating the lateral response of glulam (glued laminated) shear walls subjected to horizontal cyclic loads.The objective of the study is to explore the potential of …
INVESTIGATING THE EFFECTS OF THE INTERACTIONS BETWEEN FLOOR DIAPHRAGMS AND SEGMENTED CROSS-LAMINATED TIMBER SHEAR WALLS Open
This paper presents a study on the effects of the interactions between floor diaphragms and segmented cross-laminated timber shear walls.An analytical model of a beam on a bed of elastic springs is used to describe such an interaction for …
ADHESIVELY BONDED TIMBER-CONCRETE COMPOSITE CONSTRUCTION METHOD (ATCC) - PILOT APPLICATION IN A SCHOOL BUILDING IN GERMANY Open
A pilot-application of adhesively bonded timber-concrete composite (ATCC) slab elements with prefabricated concrete parts in a school building in Germany is presented in this paper.Firstly, the concept and the relevant points of the planni…
FIBRE-OPTIC MEASUREMENTS FOR MONITORING ADHESIVELY BONDED COMPOSITE BEAMS Open
The technology of fibre-optic sensors (FOS) enables the continuous measurement of strains along the fibre axis.This offers the possibility of studying and monitoring the behaviour of the component to which the fibre is connected at any giv…
TENSION LOADED CONNECTIONS WITH WOOD DOWELS Open
Wood dowels carry tremendous opportunities concerning their application as fasteners and connection elements.Aspects such as sustainability and homogeneous recyclability can be addressed very well by using them to an increasing degree.Alth…
TESTING OF CONNECTIONS TAKEN FROM OLD NAILED ROOF TRUSSES Open
Experimental testing of nailed connections taken from old roof trusses is presented in this paper.To enable the further use and preservation of nailed roof trusses, it is important to understand how the nail corrosion and aging processes o…
ASSESSMENT OF NAILED CONNECTIONS IN EXISTING STRUCTURES Open
This paper presents the development of an assessment scheme for a visual qualitative evaluation of nailed connections in existing structures, such as board trusses.In terms of further use and preservation, a quick visual inspection will he…

SEGMENTED COMPOSITE SECTIONS WITH WOOD DOWELS Open
Recent research approaches try to expand the scope of application of timber construction elements.Possibilities to reduce the material consumption and raise the automatization level are also gaining interest to an increasing degree.Segment…
Force distribution in self-tapping screws: experimental investigations with fibre Bragg grating measurement screws Open
The pull-out resistance of fully threaded, self-tapping screws under axial loading has been investigated intensively in the past. Actual design models are based mainly on empirical data because the detailed interaction between the screw th…
FE-Analysis of end-notched beams and tenon joints – J-Integral versus cohesive zone modelling Open
Improved wood-based materials, on the one hand, and computer-operated machinery, on the other, enable new types of timber-to-timber joints. Furthermore, new materials, such as laminated veneer lumber with cross-layers made of soft- or hard…
INFLUENCE OF PERPENDICULAR WALLS ON THE LATERAL STIFFNESS OF CLT SHEAR WALLS Open
Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) walls are used in CLT buildings to carry both vertical and horizontal loads.The mechanical behaviour of CLT shear walls for lateral loads is typically assumed to be governed from the base connections, which tra…
