  2. 1. Mechanical processing for improved products made from Swedish hardwood

    Author : Jimmy Johansson; Dick Sandberg; František Hapla; Växjö universitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; capillarity; capillary transport; wood products; customer requirements; ecoeffectiveness; ; sawing pattern; star-sawing; the PrimWood Method; timber products; volume yield; water transport; Wood fibre and forest products; Träfiber- och virkeslära;

    Abstract : Swedish hardwood is today used in the energy, pulp and mechanical hardwood industries. Only very small volumes of Swedish hardwood are, however, consumed by the mechanical industry that normally pays the highest timber price. READ MORE

  4. 2. Thermally Modified Timber : Novel Aspects of Bending Behaviour Towards Grading and Structural Applications

    Author : Joran van Blokland; Stergios Adamopoulos; Anders Olsson; Jan Oscarsson; Mark Hughes; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; checks; cracks; digital image correlation; four-point static bending; fracture characteristics; grade determining properties; non-destructive testing; Norway spruce; machine learning; outdoor above-ground exposure; timber grading; scanning electron microscopy; scanning of fibre direction; strain distribution; ThermoWood®; weathering; Forestry and Wood Technology; Skog och träteknik; Byggteknik; Civil engineering;

    Abstract : Thermally modified timber (TMT) has gained market share in Europe as an environmentally friendly and durable building material. Unfortunately, TMT products are currently prohibited for use in structural applications as there is insufficient data to estimate the loss in strength due to thermal modification. READ MORE

  5. 3. Exploring climate impacts of timber buildings : The effects from including non-traditional aspects in life cycle impact assessment

    Author : Diego Peñaloza; Magnus Wålinder; Matty Janssen; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; life cycle assessment LCA ; timber buildings; biobased building materials; low-energy buildings; forest products; climate impact assessment; biogenic emissions; carbon storage; timing of emissions; Industrial Ecology; Industriell ekologi; Byggvetenskap; Civil and Architectural Engineering;

    Abstract : There is an urgency within the building sector to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate change. An increased proportion of biobased building materials in construction is a potential measure to reduce these emissions. READ MORE

  6. 4. The Role of Suppliers and Resellers : Cases of Timber Product Distribution Channels

    Author : Wei Guan; Jakob Rehme; Staffan Brege; Tomas Nord; Anders Roos; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Distribution channels; roles; role changes; downstream vertical integration; offerings; timber products;

    Abstract : This dissertation aims to explain the impacts of distribution channel developments on the roles of timber product distribution channel actors. The role of channel actors in this dissertation is defined as the structured behaviour pattern that combines activities and resources in distribution channels. READ MORE

  7. 5. Timber-concrete hybrid structural systems : Examples, long and short-term dynamic monitoring, and numerical analysis

    Author : Carl Larsson; Michael Dorn; Åsa Bolmsvik; Thomas K. Bader; Henrik Danielsson; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Timber-Concrete Hybrid Structures; Timber Design; Structural Dynamics; Structural Health Monitoring; Byggteknik; Civil engineering;

    Abstract : Timber-concrete hybrid buildings are an innovative solution to increase the amount of timber materials in modern buildings. Due to its lower impact on the environment than materials like steel and concrete, the demand for timber products is rising as the construction industry aims to decrease its environmental footprint.
