In situ assessment of the timber structure of an 18th century building in Madrid, Spain

TLDR
In this article, the structural members of a seven-story building from the end of the 18th century were evaluated following a procedure based on previous research works, which is explained by floor screed stiffness, the transverse stiffness effect and possible semi-rigid connection behaviour at the supports.

Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) manufactured with European oak recovered from demolition: Structural properties and non-destructive evaluation

TL;DR: In this paper , the possibilities of using recovered timber from demolition to manufacture cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels were investigated and the static modulus of elasticity was found to be the same between recovered and new timber.

Prediction of the mechanical properties of timber members in existing structures using the dynamic modulus of elasticity and visual grading parameters

TL;DR: In this paper , the modulus of elasticity and bending strength of 45 structural Salzmann pine timber pieces with nominal dimensions of 150x200x5400 mm3 from an existing 18th century structure were estimated by semi-destructive density estimation probing method (drilling chips extraction) and acoustic wave velocity (stress and ultrasound wave).
