Strength parameters for fasteners determined in accordance with the methods prescribed for the European CE-marking leads to quite different values for seemingly similar products from different manufactures. The results are hardly repeatable, to some extent due to difficulties in selecting representative on engineered wood products...
Timber provides attractive earthquake performance characteristics for regions of high seismic risk, particularly its high strength-to-weight ratio; however, current timber structural systems are associated with relatively low design force reduction factors due to their low inherent ductility when compared to high-performance concrete and steel...
This work attempted to investigate adhesion performance of melamine-urea-formaldehyde (MUF) resin adhesives for bonding glued-laminated timber (Glulam). Two preparation methods were employed to formulate MUF resins with various melamine contents from 20 % to 50 %: one-step method of synthesizing MUF resins in a batch...
The advantages of the two different building construction materials, timber and concrete, can be used effectively in adhesive-bonded timber-concrete composite constructions. The long-term behavior was investigated experimentally on small-scale...
