Timber joinery in modern construction: Mechanical behavior of wood-wood connections
Timber joinery is a method of geometrically interlocking timber elements prevalent in historic cultures around the world, including North America, Europe, and East Asia. The use of joinery as structural connections faded with the development of metallic screws and nails. Two recent developments …

Design of a CNC routed sheet good chair
… was made by developing a system of parts and joinery, cut from sheet stock, using only one tool-a 3-axis computer numerically controlled router. Comfort is achieved through ergonomic shaping of the chair components to embrace the geometry of the human body, and support several comfortable …

Biotic and climatic factors affecting the colonisation of wood-invading fungi
… from the surface, or at depth within timber joinery. It has been demonstrated also that the painting and siting of timber joinery affects its moisture conlent, which is the major factor influencing colonisation by microfungi. These results indicated that the competitive interactions between …

Between the mark and the cut
… begins with the elaboration of a single wooden joinery detail for a temple pavilion. A singular joint study became the basis for an interrelated series of elaborated joints forming a structural whole. A detailed model of a single structural bay was produced. The purpose of this model was to …

A three axis CNC router design
… include vacuum clamping, the ability to cut joinery at miter angles from 0* to 90*, and force controlled cutting. Many of the components are used quite aggressively (particularly with regard to stiffness), but the accuracy goal of ±0.005 " in X and Y and +0.010" in Z was met.

The ethno-ecological assessment of Cassia abbreviata Oliv. at Matsa village, Limpopo province, South Africa
… use categories included firewood, furniture and joinery production and shade for people in the area. Awareness on the importance of the species should therefore be created amongst the people, especially the young ones. Understanding the ethnobotanical knowledge of indigenous species within an …

One size does not fit all : innovation in emergency housing with a focus on Nepal 2015
… the geodesic dome, the simplicity of reciprocal joinery and strong yet lightweight nature of bamboo. The effectiveness of the proposed new design process is demonstrated through checking the resulting shelter design meeting measurable outcomes like cost, structural integrity and skill level …

NEO-ZOOMORPHIC ARCHITECTURE: The Decaying Whale Pavilion
… All the connection points use traditional wood Joinery. Only natural biodegradable materials are used throughout while concrete or metal are avoided. As time passes, this project will gradually decay and eventually will return to nature without requiring any intervention.

Computational Design of Architected Lattices for Construction Applications
… cut files for assembly with 3D printable joinery. These files are computationally designed and arranged for instantaneous production to demystify the lattice architectural design process, establish a pathway for utilizing all available materials in lattice construction, reduce the overhead …

Theater: Architecture of the Horizon
… From its general scheme all the way to the joinery of the floorboards, the proposed building should serve a guiding idea. Otherwise, architecture is not architecture but simply functional construction. Theater exists within a similar framework, whereby the actor's work is a mundane …

History and technology of Lemuel Chenoweth's covered bridges
… bridges were performed to determine the probable joinery and truss dimensions. A second goal is to perform a simplified and finite element analysis of the bridge in order to determine its performance under modern vehicle loading. A third goal is to determine the feasibility of reconstruction of …

U.S. Bamboo house of the future : standardizing ecological living
… The second will take a look at the workings of joinery systems that appeal to the U.S. market. By synthesizing all my findings from the research literature, a city dwelling habitat would be designed through the use of a "kit of parts" innovation.

Structural connections in plywood friction-fit construction
… fabrication of planar parts with embedded joinery which can be assembled into complex 3D geometries without the use of foreign mechanical fasteners. This thesis studies the behavior of the friction-fit attachment geometries which serve as the sole means of structural connections. The thesis …

Ecological studies of fungi growing on isolated wood
… is reported.. Imported timber, in-service timber joinery and wood employed in colonization experiments were sampled and a list of cellulolytic fungi including thermophilous and soft rot fungi is submitted. The influence of insolation on the temperature-and moisture ranges in wood was investigated. …

Material Distinctions
… lends this study to a larger exploration of joinery. The internal joining of wood to wood, or tectonic joining, produces a different expression than the joining of different materials. Wood to brick, for instance produces the legible differentiation of the architectural elements within the …

Positive Influences and Educational Practices in the STEM Learning Ecosystem: An Asset-Based, Multi-Case Exploration of Non-Formal Youth Education in Senegal
… and six educators from wood carpentry and metal joinery apprenticeships. The second case involved seven youth and five educators from Go4STEAM, an all-girls out-of-school STEM program. The Ecological Systems Theory was used as a theoretical framework to situate the youth and educators in their …

Investigation of Through-Tenon Keys on the Tensile Strength of Mortise and Tenon Joints
… timber members connected using carpentry-style joinery that may include metal fasteners. A common variant of mortise-and-tenon joints are keyed (or wedged) through-tenon joints. No research on the behavior of wedged joints in timber frames is available. This research provides design knowledge of …
