    Analytical Model for Non-linear \(\user2{M - }\,\,{\varvec{\theta}}\) Relationships of Dowel-Type Timber Connections Exposed to Fire

    Recent experimental evidence has shown that wood–steel–wood dowel-type connections exhibit a semi-rigid behaviour even after 90 min of fire exposure. Because a semi-rigid behaviour influences the bending momen...

    Prediction of strength and stiffness of concentrated compressive load applied to the narrow face of cross-laminated timber

    The behavior of the concentrated compressive load applied to the narrow face of cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels is an essential parameter in the design of multi-story timber buildings. Therefore, this pape...
