DOI: 10.1002/jwmg.21330
Abstract: Little quantitative information is available to nonindustrial-private forest (NIPF) owners regarding economic tradeoffs between managing pine plantations for timber production or wildlife habitat. We modeled loblolly (Pinus taeda) pine plantations to quantify economic tradeoffs for… read more here.

Effect of rod-to-grain angle on capacity and stiffness of axially and laterally loaded long threaded rods in timber joints
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "European Journal of Wood and Wood Products"
DOI: 10.1007/s00107-018-1314-z
Abstract: Long threaded rods have recently been widely used as a reinforcement of glued laminated timber in perpendicular to the grain direction. The recent research has thus focused mainly on the withdrawal properties of the threaded… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00158-019-02445-x
Abstract: We introduce a variant of the timber grid shell, the timber Voronoi shell, whose surface is reticulated by Voronoi tessellation and whose edges are made of discrete dimensional timber. This work explores form-finding methods of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10086-018-1727-7
Abstract: Semi-rigidness of the joint connections is one of the main characteristics of timber structures. The pin-joint assumption for the semi-rigid joint connections might be not conservative in the timber structural design. In this paper, structural… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10342-017-1067-y
Abstract: Timber use in central Europe is expected to increase in the future, in line with forest policy goals to strengthen local wood supply for CO2-neutral energy production, construction and other uses. Growing stocks in low-elevation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10342-018-1116-1
Abstract: In this study, we explore the determinants of forest enterprises’ timber storage accumulation after severe storm events. The explanatory power of variables reflecting economic, institutional and tree species-related factors is tested via econometric analyses. Timber… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10342-021-01378-9
Abstract: Research on mixed forests has mostly focused on tree growth and productivity, or resistance and resilience in changing climate conditions, but only rarely on the effects of tree species mixing on timber quality. In particular,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11786-022-00521-y
Abstract: Light Timer Frame Walls are made of solid timber elements and are usually fire protected by other materials. This investigation determines the residual load bearing capacity of Light Timber Frame Walls for fire rating periods… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11842-018-9403-8
Abstract: Most tropical forests outside protected areas have been or will be selectively logged because the timber industry is a main income-generating resource for many developing countries. Therefore, understanding the composition of commercial timber species and… read more here.
