Structural Performance of SmartPly Flooring System Under Point-Load of 50x50, June 2021
Report
D'Amico, B. (2021). Structural Performance of SmartPly Flooring System Under Point-Load of 50x50, June 2021. Medite Smartply

The report describes tests carried out at Edinburgh Napier University on a series of flooring systems using OSB/3 and OSB/4 floor panels supplied by SmartPly Ltd, in March 2021. The report is part of a bigger testing campaign involving several types... Read More about Structural Performance of SmartPly Flooring System Under Point-Load of 50x50, June 2021.

Evaluate equivalent-sectional shear modulus for laminated glass beams using in torsion tests and photogrammetry method
Preprint / Working Paper
Uheida, K., Deng, Y., Zhang, H., Galuppi, L., Gao, J., Xie, L., …Mohamed, A. (2021). Evaluate equivalent-sectional shear modulus for laminated glass beams using in torsion tests and photogrammetry method

This paper proposes a concise concept for quantifying the shear/torsional stiffness of the laminated glass beams experimentally by introducing the Equivalent-Sectional Shear Modulus (ESSM), that is directly measured from the torque and sectional-rota...

The Impact and Modelling of Concentrated Butt-Joints on Vertically Laminated Bamboo-Timber Hybrid Bio-Flitch Beams
Preprint / Working Paper
Zhang, H., Gharavi, N., Wong, S. H., Deng, Y., Bahadori-Jahromi, A., Limkatanyu, S., …Kuang, J. (2021). The Impact and Modelling of Concentrated Butt-Joints on Vertically Laminated Bamboo-Timber Hybrid Bio-Flitch Beams

This paper presents the experimental and analytical studies to investigate the impact of concentrated laminated bamboo butt-joints on the flexural properties of vertically laminated bamboo-timber hybrid beams (VLHBs, or flitch beam). The experimental... Read More about The Impact and Modelling of Concentrated Butt-Joints on Vertically Laminated Bamboo-Timber Hybrid Bio-Flitch Beams.

D'Amico, B. (in press). Timber And Wood-based products. In F. Fu, & D. Richardson (Eds.), Structural Design of Buildings: Elemental Design (77-120). ICE Publishing. https://doi.org/10.1680/sdb.95735.077

Timber has been used as a structural material for many centuries and a renewed interest in (and calls for) a greater use in construction is now observed. This has been mostly the result of an increasingly wider body of literature claiming the superio... Read More about Timber And Wood-based products.
