Wood-water interactions are central to the utilization of wood in our society since water
affects many important characteristics of wood. This topic has been investigated for more …

Drying is a complex process of simultaneous heat, mass, and momentum transport
phenomena with continuous phase changes. Numerical modelling is one of the most …

Discontinuities due to weather conditions and daylight affect solar drying, so to address that,
a working mechanism of air energy-assisted solar drying was developed in this study. An air …

Moisture may significantly influence the dimensions and behavior of wooden elements and,
thus, it is important to consider within both serviceability as well as ultimate limit state …

Cross-laminated timber (CLT) offers the potential to construct advanced load-bearing walls
and floors made of wood, as its larger dimensions and homogenized material properties …

Fuel quality is an important measure to assess as conventional fuel resources have been
depleted at an alarming rate over recent years. For centuries, wood-based biofuels have …

Modeling the dynamic properties of wood and wood-based composites is a challenging task
due to naturally growing structure and moisture-dependent material properties. This paper …

Mass timber construction systems, incorporating engineered wood products as structural
elements, are gaining acceptance as a sustainable alternative to multi-story concrete or …

Secondary plant cell walls are composed of carbohydrate and lignin polymers, and
collectively represent a significant renewable resource. Leveraging these resources …

Formwork support constructions are an indispensable part of almost all reinforced concrete
structures. The main supporting system usually consists of wood-based composites, where …
