Developments in the field of timber engineering have helped in the wise and economical
use of timber for structural purposes. Glued laminated wood is composed of several layers of …

The study reports on block shear investigations with bondlines of face-glued laminations
and matched solid wood specimens from hardwood glulam (GLT) beams produced …

This study focuses on the flexural behaviour of timber beams externally reinforced using
Carbon Fibre-Reinforced Plastics (CFRP). A non-linear finite element analysis was …

Melia dubia is a rapidly expanding tree species in southern India, but its main drawback has
been limited use in wood-based panel products until recently. To address this research gap …

Cross laminated timber (CLT) was fabricated from Acacia mangium wood by using phenol
resorcinol formaldehyde (PRF) and one component polyurethane (PUR) as binders. The …

Experimental and finite element (FE) studies of bending behaviour of finger-jointed timber
(Spruce) beams reinforced with CFRP material were performed. Four-point bending tests …

Mechanical properties of finger joints made from eight Malaysian tropical hardwood species
were investigated in this study. The wood species studied were merpauh (Swintonia spp.) …

The wood industry faces the dual requirements of improving the quality of timber products
and minimising waste during the manufacturing process. The finger joint, which is an end-to …

The paper discusses the mechanical response of laminated solid wood beams with different
shear connections. Experimental, analytical (gamma method) and numerical (finite element …
