Timber densification is a process that has been around since the early 1900s and is
predominantly used to enhance the structural properties of timber. The process of …

Abstract Engineered Wood Products (EWPs) are increasingly being used as construction
and building materials. However, the predominant use of petroleum-based adhesives in …

In modern timber structures, the prevalent use of metal fasteners for structural connections
introduces concerns related to their high thermal conductivity, which can induce excessive …

The use of wood-based products might contribute to the mitigation of climate change and
resource depletion in the building sector. However, the increasing demand for wood-based …

Engineered wood products (EWPs) are being increasingly used as construction materials.
EWPs are currently being made using synthetic adhesives or metal fasteners, which lead to …

This paper presents an experimental investigation on a novel adhesive free engineered
Wood Products (AFEWPs) as an alternative to the conventional glued EWPs which have a …

With increasing environmental concerns, the building sector must rethink the selection of
building materials not only for structural members but also for connections. Densified …

The need to reduce the construction industry's waste and greenhouse gas emissions has
led the sector to advance towards the circular economy by adopting the Design for …

Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is one of the most sustainable, robust, and green building
materials nowadays and is normally used for walls, floors, or roofs. The number of studies on …

The widespread use of energy-intensive metallic connectors and synthetic adhesives in
modern timber construction has negative implications for the end-of-life disposal or re-use of …
