This book contains papers presented at the 1st International
Conference on Timber Structures, which was held in collaboration
with the Technical Centre of Wood Industry in Belgium. It explores
the latest developments in wood products and their application as
structural components. The focus of the included works is to draw
attention to new research and real applications from both
researchers and practitioners, and to present new and innovative
ideas in this significant field. Rapid advances have recently been
made in the development and processing of innovative ecologically
friendly wood products. A variation of new structural shapes can
now be fabricated and used to construct buildings and bridges that
have minimal impact on the environment. Wood is particularly
appealing since it is renewable and has no carbon footprint when it
is harvested in a sustainable way. Timber structures are
ecologically sound and comparatively low cost. The material lends
itself to ground-breaking designs and new types of composites offer
reliable, robust and safe materials. The content of this book
comprises a range of topics: Material properties of wood;
Durability aspects, service life modelling; Fire safety of timber
structures; Protection against decay; Non-destructive inspection
and monitoring; Glued, laminated structures, Xlam and CLT; Timber
joints and connections; Vernacular wood and heritage timber
structures; Timber housing and eco-architecture; Timber bridges;
Large span timber roof structures; Shell structures in timber;
Mixed, composite and hybrid structures; Computational analysis and
experimental methods; Structural engineering and design; Seismic
behaviour of timber structures; Protection of timber; Repaired
timber structures; Rapidly assembled and transferable timber
structures; Guidelines, codes and regulations; Structural failures;
Art and craftsmanship.
