In platform-type multi-story cross-laminated timber (CLT) buildings, gravity loads from upper floors, and vertical reaction forces horizontal actions, like wind loads, cause substantial compressive in the CLT-floor elements. The combination of these high with a comparable low compression stiffness strength perpendicular to grain timber, makes (CPG) verification CLT an important design criterion...

Importing key concepts from explanatory combinatorial lexicology, we revisit the notion of grammeme and show that it is an entity of the same level of abstraction as a vocable. Grammemes are polysemic and one of their acceptations is the basic one from which the others are derived. We propose criteria to identify it, and show how it can be used to guide the grouping of grammemes into inflection...

We derive a central limit theorem for the number of vertices of convex polytopes induced by stationary Poisson hyperplane processes in R d. This result generalizes an earlier one proved by Paroux [Adv. for intersection points of motion-invariant Poisson line processes in R 2. Our proof is based on Hoeffd-ing's decomposition of U-statistics which seems to be more efficient and adequate to tackle...

The current understanding of the thermo-mechanical response cross-laminated timber (CLT) walls to fire is insufficiently developed. This paper presents results obtained using a novel experimental methodology on fire-exposed CLT under sustained loads. findings demonstrate that global instability likely be dominant failure mode for in fire. Use polyurethane adhesive resulted earlier structural th...

The objective of this study was to assess the properties cross-laminated timber (CLT) fabricated from combination Sumatran pine (P) and coconut trunk (C) bonded with polyurethane adhesive. basic raw materials adhesives were characterized. CLT panels’ length, width, thickness are 100 cm by 30 3.6 cm, respectively. Three-layer made 4 combinations face/core/back lamina, i.e., PPP, CCC, PCP, CPC, w...

We prove the central limit theorem for the volume and the f-vector of the Poisson random polytope η in a fixed convex polytope P ⊂ R d. Here, η is the convex hull of the intersection of a Poisson process X of intensity η with P. 1. Introduction and main results. Let K ⊂ R d be a convex set of volume 1. Assume that X = X(η) is a Poisson point process in R d of intensity η. The intersection of K ...
