This paper investigates the mechanical behaviour of lap steel-timber composite connections
using a 3-D continuum-based finite element (FE) model. In the FE models developed, the …

Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is increasingly being used in lateral load resisting systems of
multi-storey buildings. Conventional in-plane CLT shear walls can be transformed into CLT …

The safety and serviceability of timber structures are frequently governed by the
performance of joints. Bolted joints are a very commonly used form of joints and are effective …

The seismic performance of timber-framed structures filled with natural stones and earth
mortar is analyzed by introducing three scales of experiments during which both cyclic and …

Structural sections of laminated bamboo can be connected using methods common in
timber engineering, however the different material properties of timber and laminated …

Knots and the resulting fiber deviations are the main influencing parameters of the effective
stiffness and strength behavior of wooden boards on a structural scale. Depending on the …

This paper presents an evaluation of overstrength based on an experimental study on
dowelled connections in Cross Laminated Timber (CLT). Connection overstrength needs to …

A mass timber lateral force resisting system (LFRS) is proposed using a mass timber
buckling restrained brace (TBRB) to improve the seismic resilience of mass timber buildings …

Abstract Glued-laminated Timber Post and Beam Structure (GTPBS) is favored in timber
engineering, primarily due to its commendable seismic resistance. Nonetheless, under …

In this paper, the performance improvement of glulam post-to-beam connections reinforced
by plain round rods (PRRs) and self-tap** screws (STSs) were compared. Five non …
