This opinion paper advocates for project-based learning (PBL) and teaching as a way of preserving active learning in timber engineering education. A recent example of using PBL in a timber engineering course is presented. Its strengths and associated challenges are briefly highlighted, and some sugg ...

Load-bearing timber is usually not reused in a second structural application after its first service life, not due to proven inadequacy, but largely because prevailing standards recognize only first-use material. When buildings are dismantled, the recovered timber is typically routed toward energy r ...

The reuse of reclaimed timber in structural applications is increasingly recognized as a strategy to extend ma- terial life cycles and reduce waste. Particular attention has recently turned to reusing reclaimed timber in adhesive-free laminated products with wooden dowels, where connection performan ...

Photovoltaic (PV) systems play an important role in reducing society’s dependence on carbon-based energy sources, and their coupling with timber buildings is an interesting and expected solution for meeting sustainability requirements in the modern built environment. However, both PV systems and tim ...

Reusing timber in load-bearing applications is a strategy for extending material lifecycles and reducing the environmental impact of construction. However, uncertainty in mechanical properties of reclaimed timber due to the absence of standardized strength grading is a key barrier. The aim of this s ...

Europe is experiencing a shift in timber resource availability, with a decline in softwoods and an increase in hardwoods, creating a need to explore the utilisation of hardwoods, particularly in construction, where softwoods have traditionally been predominant. This research aimed to assess the pote ...

Conventional wooden dowel connections in timber structures rely on tight press-fit installation, which requires high insertion forces and often loosens over time due to stress relaxation. This study investigates an alternative approach that exploits the moisture-activated set-recovery of thermo-hydr ...

Finger-jointed timber boards for cross-laminated timber production are typically assigned the same characteristic bending strength (fm,j,k) if produced from the same strength class, regardless of differences in their cross-sectional dimensions. To validate the relevance of this approach, this study ...
