The use of timber structural elements in Brazil has grown over the past few years due to researches conducted in order to make it more competitive compared to other materials used in structural function, such as steel and ...

The growing world consumption of wood in civil construction is evident, especially in structural roofing systems. Despite being from a renewable source, its rational and intelligent use is of vital importance in the execution ...

This paper analyzes the representativeness of timber housing in Brazil, identifying the percentage of construction techniques offered by each evaluated company. Percentages that evidence the frequency of use of wooden ...

Conservation strategies of forested landscapes must consider biodiversity of the included site types, i.e. timber-quality forests and associated non-timber-quality stands. The objectives were to characterize forest overstory ...

A stochastic model of sawn timber structural elements of Argentinean Eucalyptusgrandis is applied to the study of two eigenproblems. One is the free vibrations problem which, after being solved, yields the natural frequencies ...

To identify the time spent with the different construction techniques of timber houses, this study evaluates the execution time of different models available in Brazil. Using face-to-face interviews, semi-structured ...

Hybrid multistory buildings are every day more common in the construction industry. However, there is little understanding of the performance of the hybrid connections. In this research, the static and dynamic response of ...

A dynamic study of timber footbridges with uncertain mechanical properties considering the Human Structure Interaction (HSI) induced by the pedestrians is presented in this paper. These structural systems made of timber ...
