DOI: 10.1016/j.engstruct.2020.110557
Abstract: Abstract Timber connections may collapse in a brittle or in a ductile mode. The calculation models of timber joints are mainly focused on ductile failure mode, since it has been traditionally assumed that brittle failure… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/1369433218794001
Abstract: In the event of a seismic attack, the structural integrity of moment-resisting timber frames in the joint region may become compromised and hence the joint may not be able to transfer bending moment around the… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fbuil.2018.00048
Abstract: Hybrid steel to timber connections are found in many buildings and bridges. These connections offer several advantages such as ease of construction and energy dissipation. This research paper aims to study the mechanical behaviour of… read more here.
