How bound water regulates wood drying
...
For most wood-based product uses it is essential to remove a large part of the water content from wet or green (fresh-cut) wood, to reduce further dimensional variations under varying humidity conditions, improve its mechanical characteristics, and protect it from biological attacks. However, the internal mechanisms of drying are not fully describe...
Investigation of the effect of aging on wood hygroscopicity by 2D 1H NMR relaxometry
Published in Holzforschung
Two-dimensional proton nuclear magnetic resonance (2D 1H NMR) relaxometry is increasingly used in the field of wood sciences due to its great potential in detecting and quantifying water states at the level of wood constituents. More precisely, in this study, this technique is used to investigate the changes induced by “natural” and “artificial” ag...
Equivalent stiffness of timber used in CLT: closed-form estimates and numerical validation
Published in European Journal of Wood and Wood Products
In this paper, a closed-form approach is presented to estimate rapidly the equivalent stiffness of boards used in cross laminated timber (CLT) panels from local orthotropic behavior at ring scale for varying sawing patterns. It is first assumed that narrow edges are glued. In this case, closed-form Reuss and Voigt bounds are derived for the equival...

Experimental determination of the equivalent-layer shear stiffness of CLT through four-point bending of sandwich beams
In this paper, a new methodology for the experimental determination of the CLT equivalent cross-layer shear elastic modulus is suggested using a wooden core sandwich beam with Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer skins under four-point bending. The stiffness contrast between the wooden layer and the CFRP skins ensures that the bending stiffness of the s...

Closed-form solutions for predicting the thick elastic plate behavior of CLT and timber panels with gaps
In a former paper by the authors [1], the elastic behavior of Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) and timber panels having periodic gaps between lateral lamellae has been analyzed. A thick plate homogenization scheme based on Finite Elements computations has been applied. The predicted behavior was in agreement with experimental results. In this paper, si...
Sustainable asphalt mixes manufactured with reclaimed asphalt and modified-lignin-stabilized bitumen emulsions
This work aims to develop asphalt mixes with 100% reclaimed asphalt pavements (RAP) as source of aggregates and bitumen emulsions stabilized by amine-functionalized lignin. To that end, reduced-temperature asphalt technologies between 80 and 130 °C were assessed. Previously, processing parameters of emulsions were evaluated by droplet size distribu...
