How timber buildings can be designed for deconstruction and reuse in accordance with ISO 20887 (2023)
Conference Proceeding
Sandin, Y., Cramer, M., & Sandberg, K. (2023). How timber buildings can be designed for deconstruction and reuse in accordance with ISO 20887. In World Conference on Timber Engineering (WCTE 2023) (3558-3567). https://doi.org/10.52202/069179-0463

There is a need for a shift towards circular economy in the building and construction sector. Design for deconstruction and reuse (DfDR) and design for adaptability (DfA) have been suggested as means to facilitate reuse of buildings and diminish wast...

More than the sum of their parts - How UK Timber Houses can be Deconstructed and Reused (2021)
Conference Proceeding
Cramer, M., & Sandin, Y. (2021). More than the sum of their parts - How UK Timber Houses can be Deconstructed and Reused. In Proceedings of the 17th meeting of the Northern European Network for Wood Science and Engineering (WSE 2021) (108-110). https://doi.org/10.5755/e01.9786090217627

The InFutUReWood project (infuturewood.info) focuses on the reuse of structural timber and is working on improving the design of buildings to facilitate deconstruction and reuse. For this purpose, we conducted five case studies in four of the partner... Read More about More than the sum of their parts - How UK Timber Houses can be Deconstructed and Reused.

Some awkward questions about density (2020)
Conference Proceeding
Ridley-Ellis, D., & Cramer, M. (2020). Some awkward questions about density. In Timber 2020 Conference Proceedings (99-110)

There are several different concepts of wood density, such as specific gravity, basic density, dry density, and oven dry density. These are often confusing, and sometimes poorly described in the literature, but they can be unambiguously defined and m... Read More about Some awkward questions about density.
