2. Dynamic properties of two pedestrian timber bridges : Experimental and numerical analysis at several stages of construction
Abstract : Pedestrian bridges can beneficially be made from timber in order for our society to reach a sustainable future. This positive development is partly made possible due to advances in engineered wood products (e.g. glued laminated timber) and the possibilities for pre-fabrication of structural parts. READ MORE

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

5. The role of biobased building materials in the climate impacts of construction : Effects of increased use of biobased materials in the Swedish building sector
Abstract : A significant share of the global climate change impacts can be attributed to the construction sector. One mitigation strategy is increasing the use of biobased materials. Life cycle assessment (LCA) has been used to demonstrate the benefits of this, but forest complexities create uncertainty due to omission of key aspects. READ MORE
