Digital timber for affordable housing: An exploration into flexible spaces
Engineered timber is the most ecological of the major construction materials acting as a carbon sink in our urban centres. After the pandemic, flexibility of interior spaces has become crucial with social, economic, and environmental benefits. With mass customization, the growth of digital …

Tall Mass-Timber Building
… using less carbon intensive materials, such as timber. While cultures around the world have built with wood for centuries, recent technological innovations, such as Cross Laminated Timber (CLT), is allowing for new applications of wood as the main structural material and the potential to use it …

Building Enclosure
… between being part nature preserve and part timber stand. Nearly two-thirds of timber construction material in the nation comes from these forests which more recently has attracted the interest of architects as the forms of engineered timber but has for decades lurked in the walls of …

On the origins of buildings: A social-ecological network approach to contemporary bioregional architectures of American earth, Norwegian timber & Balinese bamboo
… of contemporary earth in the American Southwest, engineered timber in Norway, and advanced bamboo in Bali. Analyses exceed the important, albeit reductive, quantitative environmental metrics of life cycle assessment to further consider meaningful knock-on effects such as job creation, ecosystem …

Glulam beams strengthened with pre-stressed basalt fibres
Timber has throughout history played an important role in all kinds of construction work where its properties are very sought after. Engineered timber products such as glulam have managed to increase these properties even more with stronger and stiffer material. In recent years new ways have …

Serviceability Design of Long-Span Timber Beams Considering Semi-Rigid Beam-Column Connections
The increasing adoption of engineered timber systems in long-span construction has intensified the need for accurate prediction and control of mid-span deflections at the serviceability limit state (SLS). Conventional timber design practice typically assumes idealised pinned supports in deflection …

Disproportionate Collapse Resistance of Timber Beam-column Connections
… Multi-material beam-column connections in timber post-and-beam buildings provide deformation capacity, continuity, and ductility necessary to form alternative load paths in the event of such initial damage. Accordingly, these alternative load paths can avert disproportionate spread of the …

Moisture Monitoring of a CLT Structure in a Southern Climate
… of moisture behavior in cross laminated timber (CLT) is critical to the widespread use of CLT in construction in the United States. Currently, very little data exists on the long-term impact of moisture on CLT. The objective of this research is to collect data regarding the long-term …
