Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleExperimental and Numerical Analysis of Continuously Coupling Timber-Lightweight EPS Concrete Composite SystemNikola Perković, Vlatka Rajčić, Jure BarbalićA composite system based on concrete and timber represents a very successful engineering solution in the process of optimization of construction. Nowadays, by combining different timber products and concrete classes it is easy to achieve improved engineering features for elements in different static systems or load cases. This paper presents an overview of the research initiated by solving the problem … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 2 Feb 2021 · 6,433 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFire Resistance Testing of a Timber-Glass Composite BeamJohan Sjöström, Marcin Kozłowski, Daniel Honfi et al.Glass structures have been increasingly utilised in modern construction for decades with load-bearing walls or facades as the most common elements. However, the use of glass beams has recently been given more attention but its application as load-bearing elements has been limited by the low tensile resistance, its brittle behaviour during failure and concerns of its performance in case of … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 27 Jan 2020 · 10,828 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleComparison of Analytical and Numerical Results for the Charring Rate of the Timber-Concrete BeamZuzana Kamenická, Jaroslav Sandanus, Lukáš Blesák et al.Modelling the thermal response of timber is a primary issue for the assessment of the mechanical resistance of timber structures exposed to fire. Therefore, this paper analyses various advanced calculation methods of determining the charring rate. Authors of this contribution use analytical calculation methods according to two different publications and also a numerical calculation by means of program based on … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 4 Jun 2018 · 6,688 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFrom Plastic Waste to Building Material: Mechanical Properties of Recycled Thermoplastic TimberMonica Valdés, Nicoletta Trulli, Barbara De NicoloThe present paper illustrates the mechanical properties of a new structural product called Recycled Thermoplastic Timber (RTT), manufactured in Sardinia (Italy) and made of recycled plastics. The preliminary results of an experimental campaign aimed at assessing the main mechanical and physical properties of RTT are presented and discussed. Unreinforced and steel-reinforced thermoplastic timber profiles have been tested in laboratory and … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 23 Feb 2018 · 13,406 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleOPTIMIZATION MODEL OF SELECTIVE CUTTING FOR TIMBER HARVEST PLANNING BASED ON A SIMULATED ANNEALING APPROACHMunaisyah Abdullah, Salwani Abdullah, Abdul Razak Hamdan, Roslan IsmailAn optimization model for Timber Harvest Planning (THP) is used to form harvest areas with the objective of maximizing the tree harvest volume subject to harvest regulations. Most optimization models for THP currently in use are based on clear cutting and restricted to adjacency constraints to prevent the creation of large clear-cut openings in the forest. However, an optimization model … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 12 Nov 2013 · 7,313 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEvaluation of Hevea brasiliensis (Latex Timber Clone: RRIM 2001 and RRIM 3001) in Relation to Different Water StressShafar Jefri Mokhatar, Wan Noordin Daud, Nursyazwina Md ZamriAbstract: Problem statement: Rubber, Hevea brasiliensis, has been traditionally planted in the humid tropics, which is characterized by high rainfall throughout the year. However, due to an increase in world’s demand for rubber, future planting will be established in dry areas, characterized by prevalence water stress. Utilizing limited resource, in dry areas or to use water wisely is very important. … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2011 · 10,906 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAnalyzing of Trade Barriers to Timber Trade PolicyRabiul Islam, Shaharuddin Mohamad Ismail, Chamhuri SiwarProblem statement: This study investigated the issues of trade barriers to timber trade in Malaysia. In recent years, there has been decreasing the trade barriers to timber trade in Malaysia. Approach: Trade barriers to timber trade are an important role in the forest economics sector and take a major player in Malaysia’s economic growth. There is a growing concern that … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2010 · 7,578 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleInvestigation and Situation of Timber Harvesting Mechanization of Turkey and the Usage of Tractors in Timber ExtractionMurat Demir, Tolga OzturkIn this study is to summarize usage of tractors in timber extraction and major problems of mechanized timber harvesting in Turkey. Timber harvesting in Turkey is still carried out by manual methods due to economical, social and environmental constraints. Almost 80% of harvesting activities are mechanized in many developed countries while this value is only 5% in Turkey. Overall ratio … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,585 accessesView PDFCite
