Tall Timber
… the tectonic nature of a project by using timber in high rise construction.
-
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 …

Texas Timber-Frame Porch
… thesis project is an investigation of both heavy timber construction and a means to create a retreat away from the chaos of modern life. This culminated in a porch outside of downtown Austin, Texas. The program began with an entrance foyer, kitchen, wine cellar, a humidor, a library, a bar, a …

A simulation and empirical study of cross-laminated timber from waney SA Pine timber
… in volume recovery possible when cross-laminated timber (CLT) component manufacturing with increased wane allowance is integrated into a sawmill production process. The second objective was to determine whether the bending stiffness and strength of CLT panels were influenced if components with …

Parametric study of timber shear walls
Timber shear walls comprise the vertical element of the lateral force resisting system in many low-rise buildings in North America. A typical shear wall consists of a solid panel product connected to a light timber frame with either a dowel-type fastener, such as nails, or elastomeric adhesives. …

Glulam Timber Bridges for Local Roads
… the feasibility and performance of glulam timber bridges as additional design alternatives for SD local roads. There are two types of glulam timber bridges: (1) transverse glulam deck on glulam girders and (2) longitudinal glulam deck. The performance of each type was experimentally …

Development of fire retardant timber treatments
Fire retardant treated timber has been used in interior and exterior building structures to satisfy the legal flammability requirements. Dricon and NCX are two commercial phosphorus-based products sold by Arch Timber Protection. However, modifications to their formulation may be required due to …

Timber supply in dynamic general equilibrium
… perfect competition, and productive efficiency, timber supply is a dynamic process. Different discrete-time dynamic timber supply models and their solution methods are compared and their common elements derived. A continuous-time model is derived, but not solved. The discrete-time timber supply …

The durability of timber buildings: a decay prediction model to estimate the life expectancy of timber structures
… reliable strategies to assess the durability of timber structures investigating the natural hazards affecting the safety and the life-expectancy of timber buildings. From an all encompassing point of view, the life-expectancy of timber buildings was predicted considering the effects of a fungal …

Design of a Single Story Timber House
… this project focuses on is the design of the timber framing and the foundation for the custom home. A unique addition to the project is the stormwater collection system that has been designed for on-site irrigation for the property. In addition to presenting the project on a poster, Pioneer …

A Holistic Approach to Mass Timber Design
… lack of knowledge of the performance of mass timber, especially in fire. This research investigated the current understanding of modern mass timber, the performance of heritage mass timber, and the state of diversity of the industry itself. Findings include heritage hardwoods typically charred …
-
Displacement-Based Seismic Design of Timber Structures
… a brief introduction on the seismic behaviour of timber structures, the general Direct Displacement-Based Design (Direct-DBD) procedure and the state-of-the-art are presented, with clear reference to the application of the Direct-DBD method to wooden buildings. The strength of the Direct-DBD …

Semi-rigid behaviour of plane timber structures
… study is the Metal Plate Connector (MPC) for timber trusses, 6 chosen connector used in residential trusses. An extensive test program was carried out in this study. Four different types of joints of a Queen truss were tested. In addition, the effect of combined loads on the joint …

An Economic Analysis of Tropical Timber Concessions
The study of harvest concessions could be improved by alternative model specifications. More empirical data collection and analyses could be carried out. The different assumptions about enforceability and the validity of the theoretical results obtained can be tested empirically. It would also be …

Development of space truss systems in timber
… made of steel and aluminium whilst a few are of timber. Interest is now shifting from the traditional use of timber in plane trusses of relatively short span, to new structural forms for medium to long spans. In adopting such systems in timber for non-traditional roofing applications, the …

Suitability of salvaged timber in structural design
Increased demand for timber construction in the United States has placed a strain on the American timber reserve. At the same time, the annual demolition of thousands of buildings and wood structures results in thousands of tons of waste earmarked for incineration or landfill disposal. There exists …
