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

Plantation softwood is the future timber material resource for building and construction.
However, significant volumes of sawn softwood are considered out-of-grade and sold at a …

The wet-on-wet gluing method seems to be a highly effective way to ensure a rigid shear
connection between timber and concrete. However, in this case, the concrete shrinkage …

High-performance materials derived from natural wood have been vigorously developed,
however, their commercialized products are very limited owing to the lack of industrial …

Most existed researches consider deterministic numerical analysis when dealing with
structural models. However, the test results reveal that uncertainties are existing in most …

Changes in the condition of existing timber structures can be caused by fatigue or biological
attack, among other things. Replacing damaged timber is still very expensive, so it seems …

The practice of designing building structures in particular wooden shows that bending is one
of the most common types of stress-strain state. The straight bend of the beams of glued …

The embedding of steel bars is proposed to enhance the load-bearing performance of
bamboo beams. Based on laboratory tests, the bending behavior of bamboo beams …

This paper presents a pioneering experimental proof-of-concept study to validate a novel
concept of prestress technology that used only pure bio-based composite materials while …
