Bo Zhang, associate professor at Xiamen University, China, spoke to LCGC International at HPLC 2025 in Bruges, Belgium, about ...

Toward that end, behind its darkly tinted glass exterior, the six-story, 116,000-square-foot structure, which meets the ground with steel V-shaped columns, has a frame composed of glulam columns and ...

This paper presents an investigation on the seismic behavior of steel moment frames with mechanical hinge beam-to-column connections. The connection uses a mechanical hinge to carry shear force and a ...

Simpson Strong-Tie introduces three new connections for mass timber glulam columns—one for column-to-column and two for column-to-foundation installations. Each offers a concealed connection for ...

The MCT mass timber column tie connects two columns together while allowing the vertical download to be transferred by column-to-column bearing. Its universal design allows the same connector to be ...

Enter the new large-section beams and wood columns that are manufactured from small strips or chips of ubiquitous timber species. Without the need to mill 3- or 4-inch-deep strips of fir, spruce, or ...

The transfer of shear stress between GLULAM columns and beams is essential to guarantee the stability of the structure. To this end, connections have been developed that enable the wood-to-wood ...

Therefore, this theory is not adapted for slender glulam beam columns made of tropical hardwood species from the Congo Basin. This maximum deflection is caused by a set of loads applied to the ...

TITLE: Simulation of Steel Reinforcement on the Nonlinear Behaviour of Slender Glulam Beam Columns by Using the Newton-Raphson Method AUTHORS: Martial Ourmama, Marcelline Blanche Manjia, Edmond Dawak ...

They also built a 1:3 structural model of a possible spindle application, consisting of columns of wood connected by a glulam beam, with spindles emerging from the beam to support a roof.

Fulfilling its commitment to make cross-laminated timber (CLT) available to the U.S. market, Hundegger is pleased to report it is on pace to deliver cutting-edge equipment to the new SmartLam ...
