Fernandez-Cabo MC, Fernandez-Cabo JL, Íñiguez G, Arriaga-Martitegui F, Majano-Majano A. (2010) Remarkable ancient timber bridges up to the 1850’s. Part II: case studies and breakthroughs. International Conference on Timber Bridges (ICTB-2010), Lillehammer, Norwey.

Abstract As showed in the first part of this work [1], the technical heritage prior to the 1850´s presents an important number of remarkable timber bridges, especially in the last hundred years of that period. This paper presents, in a

Majano-Majano A, Hughes M, Fernandez-Cabo JL. (2010) A fracture mechanics study of thermally modified beech for structural applications. World Conference on Timber Engineering (WCTE 2010), Riva del Garda, Trento, Italy.

Abstract Thermal modification of wood is an established alternative to other preservative treatments that may be aggressive to the environment. When the use of thermally modified wood in structural applications is envisioned, the fracture properties become extremely important due to

Fernandez-Cabo JL, Majano-Majano A, San Salvador Ageo L, Ávila Nieto M. (2010) A novel façade sandwich panel with low-density wood fibres core. World Conference on Timber Engineering (WCTE 2010), Riva del Garda, Trento, Italy.

Abstract The work explores, experimentally and theoretically, the possibility of producing a novel cladding sandwich panel comprised of a low-density wood fibres (WF) core, made with GUTEX®, and timber engineering board faces. A short discussion of the possibility of using

Majano-Majano A, Hughes M, Fernandez-Cabo JL. (2009) Fracture characteristics and properties of thermally modified timber made out of beech. The 4th European Conference on Wood Modification (ECWM 2009), Stockholm, Sweden.

Abstract Thermally modified timber (TMT) is timber with properties that have been altered because of the high temperatures to which it has been subjected. Due to its good durability, TMT is commonly used for non-structural purposes in outdoor environments, without
