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...
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...
Le bois possède des propriétés physiques remarquables mais qui dépendent étroitement du taux d'humidité dans le matériau. Du fait de sa structure multi-échelle et des différents états de l'eau dans le bois, les mécanismes de transferts d'eau dans le bois sont encore mal appréhendés. Nous étudions les phénomènes physiques essentiels à l'origine des ...
The aim of this paper is to discuss the form-finding of an innovative structural system through the design and construction of a full-scale timber pavilion. Nexorades, or multi-reciprocal grids, are structures where members support each other along their spans. This structural principle allows simple assembly and connection details, but leads in co...
Le bois, en tant que matériau de construction, est un matériau pertinent tant pour les bâtiments neufs que pour la rénovation d?anciennes bâtisses. Le patrimoine bâti montre que le bois permet de concevoir des monuments sains et durables. Pour toutefois estimer les durées de vie ou proposer des méthodes d'entretien ou de rénovation, il est nécessai...

This article focuses on the prevention of exposure to wood dust when operating electrical hand-held sawing and sanding machines. A laboratory methodology was developed to measure the dust concentration around machines during operating processes. The main objective was to characterize circular saws and sanders, with the aim of classifying the differ...
Ce mémoire de thèse aborde le problème du flambement de murs en bois lamellé-croisé. Ces panneaux de bois, constitués de planches collées perpendiculairement, sont de plus en plus utilisés dans la construction. La tendance actuelle du marché est de concevoir des immeubles de grande hauteur, ce qui soulève la question de la résistance en compression...
Exposure to wood dust, a human carcinogen, is common in wood-related industries, and millions of workers are occupationally exposed to wood dust worldwide. The comet assay is a rapid, simple, and sensitive method for determining DNA damage. The objective of this study was to investigate the DNA damage associated with occupational exposure to wood d...
