In recent years, research articles involving molecular dynamics simulations of construction
materials have grown significantly in number. The growth reflects an emerging need to …

Glued-in rods connections are widely used as a post-anchoring reinforcement technique in
timber structures. The rods are inserted into boreholes with adhesive and then cured to form …

There are separate merits and demerits to wood and steel. The combination of wood and
steel as a compound section is able to improve the properties of both and ultimately …

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 …

Timber beams in historic buildings tend to display signs of mechanical degradation in the
form of large bending deformations and reduced capacity, often caused by timber defects …

This paper describes an experimental test program and theoretical analysis which examines
the reinforcing in flexure of glued laminated timber (glulam) beams using fiber reinforced …

Abstract Near Surface Mounted (NSM) fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) bars is an effective
technique of improving the performance of timber beams. Despite the potential of NSM …

Timber is one of the materials widely used in construction and industry all over the world. In
this paper, the behavior of strengthened timber beams made of beech wood (Fagus …

Mechanical properties of laminated bamboo lumber (LBL) units with and without nodes were
experimentally studied under various loading conditions such as compression along parallel …

Glued laminated timber (glulam) is widely used as a construction material to make up
lightweight and large span structures. The basic principle of this material consists in bonding …
