In-service performance assessment of a traditional timber house under real environmental conditions using ambient vibration measurements

Timber structures have gained increased attention in recent years due to sustainability-driven construction and the growing demand for reliable performance assessment of wood-based building systems under inservice conditions. Multi-storey bungalow-type timber structures require reliable performance assessment under rea...

Development of simulation for controlled demolition of cement silo with explosives

This study proposes a simplified approach usable on standard office computers for analysis of controlled demolition of buildings that have completed their service life. In this method, proposed as an alternative to complex simulations requiring high-end hardware, the structure is modelled by finite-elements, with load-...
