This trend has reached other regions, but specially in developing countries this demand is facing a bottleneck: the high costs of the equipment for CLT manufacturing and the skilled labour to operate it. This study has the objective to test CLT samples manufactured with a novel and simple method using shank containing screws to generate pressure for the adhesion of layers. Three screw densities were used (30, 50 and 100 screws m<sup>−2</sup>) and compared to control samples (manufactured in a press under 0.5 MPa). Screws generated an average load of 0.85 kN and the interaction of wood and thread seemed more important than the interaction of wood with the head. All treatments met the shear strength on the glue line requirements from standards, with equivalent average values, approximately 3 MPa. Only the control treatment met the technical standard requirements for total and maximum delamination (10 and 40%) or minimum and average wood failure (50 and 70%). The 50 screws m<sup>−2</sup> treatment was close to meeting one of the delamination requirements, 40% maximum delamination. Although not fulfilling all the requirements, the CLT standard considers the use for high-rise buildings and the proposed method could be adopted for less demanding applications, such as single and double storey residences. Changes can be made on the manufacturing parameters to decrease the delamination, starting from the adhesive used and the screw geometry. With more research, the new method described can unlock the adoption of CLT in less developed regions that will be beneficial for the local economy since the forest and timber industry can generate many jobs and promote the adoption of wood buildings.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":550,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Wood and Wood Products","volume":"83 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00107-025-02273-5.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145145680","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Numerous empirical models based on the elemental composition of biomass have been proposed; however, their predictive accuracy often remains limited, with coefficients of determination typically around 80%.

Randomly generated data on the elemental composition and ash content of biomass were used for model parameters determination. Experimental data of lignocellulosic biomass components and biochar samples were used for model validation. The CRMM predominantly depends on the carbon and oxygen content when randomly chosen data are used. However, for real biomass and biochar samples, the influence of hydrogen and sulfur increases. A polynomial model for determining CRMM with an R (Awasthi et al. Fuel 342:127790, 2023) value of 0.9886 is proposed. Mathematical models describing the influence of CRMM on HHVdaf were developed. A very strong dependence of the analytically determined HHVdaf on CRMM was found, with an explanation rate close to 86%.

This involves heating the wood in a carefully controlled environment with the modification settings being specific to the process and the species. Thermal modification induces chemical changes in the wood structure that can be identified using spectroscopy. Correlation of chemical changes to specific processing conditions for a particular wood species may then enable independent verification of the modification temperature.

While EVs mitigate tailpipe emissions, the production of energy-intensive components like aluminum remains a sustainability challenge. Battery housings, critical to structural integrity and crash safety, traditionally rely on extruded aluminum profiles for their outer frames. This study proposes a sustainable alternative: wood-steel hybrid profiles for EV battery housing applications. Quasi-static three-point bending tests were performed on hybrid beams with distinct wood cores (birch, poplar, and paulownia) encased in rectangular profiles made from high-strength complex-phase steel sheets. Performance metrics—including maximum force, bending stiffness, and specific energy absorption—were evaluated and compared to numerical simulations of mass-equivalent three-chambered aluminum beams (ductile EN AW 6061-O and high-strength EN AW 6061-T6), which serve as simplified analogues of real-world extrusion profiles. Results demonstrate that wood-steel hybrid beams outperform ductile aluminum counterparts, with poplar- and birch-core hybrids achieving 88% higher peak forces and 98% greater energy absorption. Paulownia-steel hybrids exhibited moderate improvements, delivering 60% higher peak forces and 34% greater energy absorption. Compared to high-strength EN AW 6061-T6, hybrids matched peak forces and energy absorption at low intrusion levels but provided 76% higher energy absorption under large deformations. This research highlights the potential of wood-steel hybrids to enhance crash safety while significantly reducing the carbon footprint of vehicle structures.

This is also evident in Portugal mainly in roof and floor structures. Knowledge about the mechanical properties of this species at that time was scarce, and it was primarily used due to its durability. If large section trees were available back then, this becomes a limitation nowadays. Engineered wood products (EWPs), such as glued laminated timber (glulam) help resolve this problem as thicker elements are used. Nevertheless, EWPs are usually made of softwoods, with standardization focused on these species. Current climate change poses challenges for industries that depend on nature, such as the timber industry. With the availability of softwood species affected, interest in hardwoods arose, and so has research. This paper focuses on experimentally characterizing chestnut sawn wood mechanical properties, such as modulus of elasticity (MOE) and strength of boards subjected to bending and tensile tests. Also, non-destructive characterization through the longitudinal vibration method (LVM) was performed. The average MOE from tension tests was about 13800 MPa, and 11100 MPa from the bending tests (24% lower than the former). The characteristic tensile strength value was 20.5 MPa, and the bending strength was 32.4 MPa. Although chestnut is a hardwood, concerning strength classes it is included in the softwood category, thus T20 and C30 strength classes for tension and bending, respectively, can be assigned. Strong correlations were found for the MOE based on the LVM. A preliminary campaign to evaluate the bending properties of glulam made from chestnut was conducted on ten specimens. A characteristic bending strength of 45.5 MPa was achieved.
