Materials and Joints in Timber Structures
This book contains the contributions from the RILEM International Symposium on Materials and Joints in Timber Structures that was held in Stuttgart, Germany from October 8 to 10, 2013. It covers recent developments in the materials and the joints used in modern timber structures. Regarding basic wooden materials, the contributions highlight the widened spectrum of products comprising cross-laminated timber, glulam and LVL from hardwoods and block glued elements. Timber concrete compounds, cement bonded wood composites and innovative light-weight constructions represent increasingly employed alternatives for floors, bridges and facades. With regard to jointing technologies, considerable advan...
Springer Handbook of Wood Science and Technology
This handbook provides an overview on wood science and technology of unparalleled comprehensiveness and international validity. It describes the fundamental wood biology, chemistry and physics, as well as structure-property relations of wood and wood-based materials. The different aspects and steps of wood processing are presented in detail from both a fundamental technological perspective and their realisation in industrial contexts. The discussed industrial processes extend beyond sawmilling and the manufacturing of adhesively bonded wood products to the processing of the various wood-based materials, including pulp and paper, natural fibre materials and aspects of bio-refinery. Core conce...
Timber Engineering
Timber construction is one of the most prevalent methods of constructing buildings in North America and an increasingly significant method of construction in Europe and the rest of the world. Timber Engineering deals not only with the structural aspects of timber construction, structural components, joints and systems based on solid timber and engineered wood products, but also material behaviour and properties on a wood element level. Produced by internationally renowned experts in the field, this book represents the state of the art in research on the understanding of the material behaviour of solid wood and engineered wood products. There is no comparable compendium currently available on...
Determination of Fracture Energy of Wood in Mode II
A new method for determination of fracture energy of wood in forward shear (Mode II) has been developed. The report covers the theoretical background, numerical calculations, and experimental studies resulting in a standard proposal. The work has been carried out as an international collaboration within the RILEM TC 133 committee. The objective was to develop methods for determination of relevant fracture mechanics properties of wood. It was agreed at an early stage within the technical committee that the property to be measured was the fracture energy, and that the work should be concentrated on the shear failure (Mode II). The proposed specimen is a tapered beam which is loaded in bending and the load-deflection response is measured. By measuring the crack extension after the bending test is carried out, the fracture energy can be determined. The important feature of the specimen is that it enables stable crack propagation, a necessity when measuring fracture energy.
Conformity Assessment Workshop on Wood Products
A workshop on the Wood Products Industry that explored ways in which the U.S. Government might assist that industry in conformity assessment activities in order to gain acceptance of its products in such international markets as the European Community (EC). Charts, forms and map.
