Abstract Eucalyptus globulus is one of the hardwood species growing in Europe with the best mechanical properties and great natural durability. In high performance engineered laminated products, finger-joints play a key role. The aim of this research is developing high
Abstract Timber gridshell structures get their shape by curving on site initially straight timber laths. This curving process produces stresses in the laths that can easily reach values close to the allowable ones. These initial bending stresses are partially reduced
Abstract The necessary revision of the construction processes in search of more sustainable solutions leads to the use of high efficiency structural systems and environmen-friendly materials. In this sense, timber gridshells represent a solution of great interest for lightweight roofs
Abstract En este trabajo se presentan las investigaciones llevadas a cabo para el desarrollo de un primer prototipo de lámina reticular postconformada que será construida en el Campus de Lugo, de la Universidad de Santiago de Compostela. La geometría sigue
Abstract The robustness of the test method based on a single 3D off-axis prismatic specimen for the simultaneous identification of the orthotropic stiffness components of clear wood is addressed. In this method, the specimen is consecutively submitted to uniaxial compression
Abstract The present research focus on the performance of finger-joints for the development of novel engineered laminated products made of Eucalyptus globulus using 1C-PUR adhesive type I suitable for outdoor use, taking the advantages of the high mechanical properties and
Abstract The aim of this study is to obtain the elastic constants of Eucalyptus globulus Labill required for any numerical model. Two methods were used for this: the propagation of ultrasound waves and mechanical compression tests. The same test specimens
Abstract This paper describes theoretical and experimental work undertaken to obtain a structural model for assessment of historical Latin-American vertically laminated planked timber arches, as built by the Spanish, mainly in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Many such arches still
