1. Adhesive Joints in Timber Engineering. Modelling and Testing of Fracture Properties
Abstract : This thesis, which is a compilation of seven papers, concerns the mechanical testing, numerical analysis and constitutive modelling of wood-adhesive bonds in timber engineering. Applications such as finger-joints, glued-laminated timber and glued-in rods are considered. READ MORE

2. Finger-Joints for Laminated Beams : Experimental and Numerical Studies of Mechanical Behaviour
Abstract : The introduction of laminated timber, glulam being an example, allowed many of the disadvantages associated with solid wood to be overcome. The disadvantages in question are mainly those related to the size and shape limits of structural elements made of solid wood and to the large variability in such material properties of solid wood as strength and stiffness.

3. Performance of Stress-Laminated-Timber Bridge Decks
Abstract : Stress-laminated-timber (SLT) bridge decks are a satisfactory alternative to conventional short-span bridges in terms of cost and performance. SLT decks are made from a number of timber or glulam beams positioned side by side and stressed together using high-strength steel bars. READ MORE

4. Stress-laminated-timber bridge decks subjected to ultimate loads
Abstract : Stress-laminated-timber (SLT) bridge decks are a satisfactory alternative to conventional short-span bridges in terms of cost and performance. SLT decks are made from several deck laminations positioned side by side. READ MORE

5. In-Plane Shear Modulus of Cross-Laminated Timber
Abstract : Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is a building component used in walls, floors, roofs, or beams in a building. The advantages of using CLT as a building component are, among others, its high load-carrying capability and the possibility of pre-fabrication. READ MORE
