Pull-compression tests on glued-in metric thread rods parallel to grain in glulam and laminated veneer lumber of different timber species

Frank Hunger, Mislav Stepinac, Vlatka Rajčić, Jan-Willem G. Van De Kuilen
Ongoing development of timber and timber products made from European hardwoods like ash and beech influences the selection of acceptable methods for connecting these elements and thus demands validation and application of current design methods for softwood and glulam. For the last 20 years, despite many national and international research projects and practical applications of glued-in rods in timber structures, there is still no universal standard with respect to their design. The use of adhes...

Robert Gerard
Recent architectural trends in sustainable urban Recent architectural trends in sustainable urban densification have spurred a movement toward increasingly tall buildings made from mass timber products or a combination of wood and other materials. Many tall timber building concepts are motivated by their suggested advantages in sustainability resulting from the use of wood as a renewable resource and low renewable resource and lowͲcarbon construction carbon construction material. However, to ens...

Why wood is back at the top of the tree for architects

Sustainable Lumber Co.
Strong, clean and versatile, engineered timber is the ‘new concrete’. There is a miracle building material – one so environmentally friendly that it extracts carbon from the atmosphere rather than adding to it; a stuff with which structures can go up at lightning speeds, that reduces the noise and disruption of building sites, that can be as strong as steel and much lighter, that makes both construction workers and a building’s users happier, and that, with the help of technology, is getting eve...

Plywood - The Original Engineered Wood Product
http://www.apawood.org/plywood... [Other] [Web Page]
APA
Plywood has been one of the most recognized and trusted wood building products for decades. Manufactured from thin sheets of cross-laminated veneer and bonded under heat and pressure with strong adhesives, plywood panels have superior dimensional stability and an excellent strength-to-weight ratio and are highly resistant to impacts, chemicals, and changes in environmental temperature and humidity. Plywood manufactured by APA member mills is available in a wide variety of appearance grades, rang...

Thermal performance
http://www.woodsolutions.com.au/Articles/Why-Wood/... [Moisture/Durability] [Web Page]
WoodSolutions
When considering thermal performance issues, timber, a naturally insulating material, makes for an excellent choice. Air pockets within timber s cellular structure create a natural barrier to heat and cold. Of all the timber options in construction, lightweight timber is the best insulator overall as thermal conductivity increases with density. In addition, thermal conductivity will vary slighty with moisture content, residual deposits in the timber such as the extractives, and natural character...

Nailed-it! Introducing the Design Guide for Nail-Laminated Timber - WoodWorks
http://www.woodworks.org/education-event/2018-q1-n... [Design/Architectural aspects] [Web Page] 2018
WoodWorks
Growing interest in mass timber has led to increased use not only of cross-laminated timber, but nail-laminated timber (NLT or nail-lam)—a lesser known but more common material option. Discussion will include architectural and structural considerations, envelope and fabrication details, and key information from the Nail Laminated Timber Design and Construction Guide, which was authored by the speakers. Tanya is a licensed Professional Engineer and Senior Associate at Fast + Epp Structural Engine...

Breaking Convention with Timber Offices

WoodWorks
Great solutions often lie beyond convention. Consider that most offices in the U.S. could be built with a wood structure yet this option goes largely unexplored. Many designers assume they’re limited to concrete and steel for workplace environments—because that’s the common default—but, in fact, wood construction can accommodate the space and performance needs of office occupancies, while providing advantages such as speed, cost savings, and reduced environmental impact. Focusing on common desig...
