Cross-Sectional Analysis Of The Mechanical And Physical Properties Of Spruce Foundation Piles: An investigative analysis of moisture content, density, compressive strength, and modulus of elasticity across the cross-section of spruce foundation piles, with an emphasis on the predictive proficiency of micro-drilling methods

Summary<br/><br/>Numerous ancient historical constructions worldwide depend primarily on an extensive array of wooden foundation piles, as they are subject to loading conditions governed by the superstructure above. Wooden foundations transfer loads through a combination of compression and lateral resistance. The inherent strength of wood...

Long-span Timber Roof Structure for the New Feyenoord Stadium

Timber structures are experiencing a revelation in the build environment due to new technologies and production techniques. However, the longest spans created with timber structures still don't compete with the span widths of structures made of steel. This thesis provides a preliminary design for the long-span football stadium roof structure of...

Self-extinguishment of cross-Laminated timber

Cross-laminated timber, or CLT, is currently receiving attention for its potential use in tall building structures. Timber being a combustible material, one of the main challenges for the construction of these buildings is the potential fire risk that results from its use in the structure. For tall buildings, there is an increased severity of...
