More than the sum of their parts - How UK Timber Houses can be Deconstructed and Reused

Conference Proceeding
Cramer, M., & Sandin, Y. (2021)
More than the sum of their parts - How UK Timber Houses can be Deconstructed and Reused. In Proceedings of the 17th meeting of the Northern European Network for Wood Science and Engineering (WSE 2021) (108-110). https://doi.org/10.5755/e01.9786090217627
The InFutUReWood project (infuturewood.info) focuses on the reuse of structural timber and is working on improving the design of buildings to facilitate deconstruction and reu...

Perception and use of timber in construction: A case study of Ireland and the UK

Conference Proceeding
O'Ceallaigh, C., Gil-Moreno, D., Ridley-Ellis, D., & Harte, A. M. (2021)
Perception and use of timber in construction: A case study of Ireland and the UK. In WCTE 2021: World Conference on Timber Engineering Proceedings
A survey was carried out to examine the perception of timber in construction among industry stakeholders within northwest Europe. The survey received responses from 17 countri...

Test Machine Effect in the determination of modulus of elasticity for strength-graded timber

Conference Proceeding
Gil-Moreno, D., Ridley-Ellis, D., & Harte, A. M. (2021)
Test Machine Effect in the determination of modulus of elasticity for strength-graded timber. In WCTE 2021: World Conference on Timber Engineering Proceedings
This paper investigates if the relationship between the global and local moduli of elasticity (MoE), measured in bending tests, is affected by the test machines employed, and ...

A case study of timber demolition recycling in the UK

Conference Proceeding
Cramer, M., & Ridley-Ellis, D. (2021)
A case study of timber demolition recycling in the UK. In Proceedings of the 16th Annual Meeting of the Northern European Network for Wood Science and Engineering – WSE2020 (89-91

A brief look at alternative species in the UK

Conference Proceeding
Adams, S. H., & Ridley-Ellis, D. J. (2021)
A brief look at alternative species in the UK. In Proceedings of the 16th Annual Meeting of the Northern European Network for Wood Science and Engineering – WSE2020 (68-70

Some awkward questions about density

Conference Proceeding
Ridley-Ellis, D., & Cramer, M. (2020)
Some awkward questions about density. In Timber 2020 Conference Proceedings. , (99-110
There are several different concepts of wood density, such as specific gravity, basic density, dry density, and oven dry density. These are often confusing, and sometimes poor...

Grading of British spruce cladding battens by ring width for density, fastener performance and fire

Conference Proceeding
Ridley-Ellis, D. (2019)
Grading of British spruce cladding battens by ring width for density, fastener performance and fire. In Proceedings of the 15th Annual Meeting of the Northern European Network for Wood Science and Engineering
The UK has a British Standard for external timber cladding, BS8605-1, in which support battens are defined as timber components of a section, grade, and durability, suitable f...

Influence of knot area indexes on tension strength of Sitka spruce

Conference Proceeding
Gil-Moreno, D., Ridley-Ellis, D., & Harte, A. M. (2019)
Influence of knot area indexes on tension strength of Sitka spruce. In Proceedings of the 15th Annual Meeting of the Northern European Network for Wood Science and Engineering
It is well known that knots can reduce the strength of timber, and the selection of “critical section” for testing to EN 408 and EN 384 is typically based on the size and posi...

Use of Nondestructive Techniques for Determination of Tension Parallel-to-Grain Properties of Spruce

Conference Proceeding
Gil-Moreno, D., O'Ceallaigh, C., Ridley-Ellis, D., & Harte, A. M. (2019)
Use of Nondestructive Techniques for Determination of Tension Parallel-to-Grain Properties of Spruce. In Proceedings: 21st International Nondestructive Testing and Evaluation of Wood Symposium, Freiburg, Germany 2019 (233-240
The paper presents a study of the tension properties of Irish-grown Sitka spruce. Fifty timber pieces were destructively tested having resonant frequency and knots measured. T...

The use of a visual grading code of practice in the UK in the assessment of the mechanical properties of in situ structural timber elements

Conference Proceeding
Bather, M. J., & Ridley-Ellis, D. J. (2019)
The use of a visual grading code of practice in the UK in the assessment of the mechanical properties of in situ structural timber elements. In SHATiS 2019: 5th International Conference on Structural Health Assessment of Timber Structures (89-98
The estimation of the mechanical properties of in situ timber elements is an essential part of the structural appraisal of many existing buildings and structures. Currently, i...
