Brick walls are load-bearing elements commonly found in historical and traditional structures. The behaviour and capacity of these structures under seismic effects must be investigated from various perspectives. Numerous studies exist in the literature to determine the in-plane behaviour of brick walls under different…

The use of wood and wood-based materials has increased continuously from past to present due to their renewable nature, aesthetic appearance, and favorable physical and mechanical properties. Advances in technology, population growth, and the resulting increase in material demand have encouraged researchers to investi…

Reconstructing the unmeasured part of a thermogravimetric (TG) curve could support adaptive measurement, but low mass-path error is useful only when the available observations also identify terminal residue and derivative thermogravimetric (DTG) events. We evaluated this information requirement using open numerical TG…

This research investigates the flexural behavior of laminated spruce timber beams strengthened with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) and glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites. A total of 28 specimens, fabricated in accordance with TS EN 408+A1 standards, comprising twelve CFRP reinforced, twelve GFRP…

This study investigates the compressive behavior of glued-laminated timber (Glulam) columns reinforced with different configurations of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) materials, including glass (GFRP) and carbon (CFRP) fibers in the form of rods, strip/panel, and fabrics. Axial compression tests were performed under c…

Historical structures are tangible documents that shed light on a nation's past, culture, and identity. These buildings, which bear the traces of various civilizations over centuries, contribute not only through their architectural features but also through the traditions and lifestyles they embody, playing a signific…

The growing adoption of post-and-beam mass-timber buildings in mid- and high-rise applications necessitates a clearer understanding of their robustness against progressive collapse to support safe structural design. To address key knowledge gaps for this structural typology, a representative six-storey post-and-beam m…

The aim of this study is to investigate the manufacturability of Melilotus officinalis (L.) reinforced epoxy biocomposites as a renewable biofiller and to characterize the mechanical, thermal, and dielectric properties of these materials. For this purpose, composites containing biomass at 0, 3, 6, and 9 wt.% were prep…

The influence of pilot-hole geometry on screw holding strength in solid softwood furniture elements remains insufficiently understood, particularly when wood species, pilot-hole dimensions, and grain direction are considered simultaneously. This study aimed to investigate the effects of pilot-hole diameter and depth o…

This study presents findings of an experimental and analytical approach investigating the relationship between the performance of individual corner joints and overall performance of furniture cabinets constructed with auxetic fasteners. The moment capacities and stiffness of cabinets assembled with different auxetic f…
