Abstract: The mechanical properties of wood tend to decrease with increasing temperature under normal atmospheric conditions. A pyrolysis zone develops inside wood when it catches fire, and the surface is charred; it is important ...

Abstract: An innovative preparation method was invented that adds adhesive to gypsum–particle composites. The effects of varying the wood particle to gypsum ratio and melamine-urea-formaldehyde adhesive (MUF) content on mechanical ...

Abstract: This paper introduces simple glued laminated (glulam) timber columns reinforced by near-surface-mounted carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates (GTMC columns). Twenty-four columns were fabricated and tested under ...
