Van de Kuilen, J.W.G. (author), Otterloo, J. (author), Ravenshorst, G.J.P. (author), De Vries, P. (author)Wooden mitre gates are used for centuries in waterways and canals. For newly built as well as the renewal of such gates, a number of wood species is used, ranging from oak to dense tropical hardwoods. As mitre gates have high loads to withstand, their strength verification has become more and more important. As strength verification rules for...conference paper 2014

Kovryga, A. (author), Stapel, P. (author), Van de Kuilen, J.W.G. (author)The quality assurance of timber properties is important for the safety of timber structures. In the current study, the quality control options of timber are analysed under the prism of the different growth regions. Therefore, these options - machine and output control - are simulated in accordance with EN 14081, and the performance is assessed...conference paper 2014

Van de Kuilen, J.W.G. (author), Xia, Z. (author)Cross laminated timber (CLT) has been rapidly developed and utilized for multi-rise constructions in recent years, even high-rise CLT buildings with 40 stories have been proposed and designed. A use of unbonded post-tensioning (PT) steel bars through over CLT walls of the high-rise CLT buildings to take up the tensile forces produced by wind...conference paper 2014

Gard, W.F. (author), Van de Kuilen, J.W.G. (author), Cabrera de Diego, M. (author)Hydraulic timber structures such as mooring poles, fenders, lock gates and jetties are widely-used in inner and sea harbours all over the world. In general these structures give satisfactory performance with regard to the technical requirements. Because of the harsh exposure conditions such as brackish and contaminated water, drying-out,...conference paper 2014

Surmeli, A.N. (author), Ravenshorst, G.J.P. (author), Van de Kuilen, J.W.G. (author)The current practice is that the deformations of timber façade elements are determined by testing, or they are limited by prescribing dimensions in a very conservative way. To use generic calculation models, suitable for almost all types of windows, approximations deviating from the actual behaviour have to be done. This paper investigates if a...report 2013

Sandhaas, C. (author), Van de Kuilen, J.W.G. (author)Wood is highly anisotropic and shows ductile behaviour in compression and brittle behaviour in tension and shear where both failure modes can occur simultaneously. A 3D material model for wood based on the concepts of continuum damage mechanics was developed. A material subroutine containing the developed model was implemented into a standard FE...journal article 2013

Ravenshorst, G.J.P. (author), Gard, W.F. (author), Van de Kuilen, J.W.G. (author)Strength class assignments and durability class assignments of wood species to be used in structures are necessary to make it possible for the engineer to design safe and durable timber structures. As a result of sustainable managed forests, more tropical wood species with relative small batch size, are coming on the market. In Europe, strength...journal article 2013

Van de Kuilen, J.W.G. (author), Dias, A.M.P.G. (author)This paper discusses the long-term mechanical behaviour of timber-to-concrete joints made with dowel-type fasteners. Despite the influence that the long-term behaviour of joints has on the mechanical behaviour of a timber–concrete structure and consequently on its design, there is still a lack of research in this area. This paper presents...journal article 2011

van der Put, T.A.C.M. (author), van de Kuilen, J.W.G. (author)The elastic—full plastic loading curve is for all materials sufficient to explain the strength of beams and beam columns loaded by bending and compression. This theory is extended for the influence of shear stress, and it is shown to be the only way to explain the combined bending-shear strength from test results. Also, the in the past derived...journal article 2011

Van de Kuilen, J.W.G. (author)A creep analysis has been performed on nailed, toothed-plates and split-ring joints in a varying uncontrolled climate. The load levels varied between 30% and 50% of the average ultimate short term strength of these joints, tested in accordance with ISO 6891. The climate in which the tests were performed varied between about 40% and 90% relative...journal article 2008

Van de Kuilen, J.W.G. (author)Timber joints that have been preloaded for 2 to 8 years have been short term tested in accordance with EN 26891. The applied load levels varied between 30% and 50% of the average short term strength. The study comprised nailed, toothed-plate and split-ring joints. All joints were made of spruce and loaded in tension. The test results indicated...journal article 1999
