Conflicting Linguistic Identities
This study explores the interaction between rural migrant workers’ (RMWs) language ideologies, linguistic identities and their family language planning activities in China. Focusing on language choices of RMW parents and...
Construction and Application of a College English Blended Teaching System Based on Multi-Source Data Fusion
By using modern data analysis techniques, this study aims to construct an innovative university English teaching effectiveness evaluation model based on particle swarm algorithm and support vector machine. The model is designed...

Assessing cross laminated timber (CLT) as an alternative material for mid-rise residential buildings in cold regions in China-A life-cycle assessment approach
Timber building has gained more and more attention worldwide due to it being a generic renewable material and having low environmental impact. It is widely accepted that the use of timber may be able to reduce the embodied...

Viscoelastic embedment behaviour of dowels and screws in timber under in-service vibration
Dowel and screw connections in timber structures behave nonlinearly, even at loads which would be experienced in a structure in normal service. They exhibit hysteresis and creep as a result of both the viscoelastic behaviour of...
Repair and reinforcement of timber columns and shear walls - A review
This paper provides an overview of state-of-the-art repairing and reinforcing techniques on timber columns and shear walls in both research and practice. Both research projects in the laboratory scale and real...

The effect of simulated flooding on the structural performance of light frame timber shear walls - an experimental approach.
This paper presents the results of a series of tests on timber shear walls exposed to simulated flooding and drying. Load tests were conducted on three wall types; control, wet and restored. The mechanical properties of each of...

An analytical model for embedment stiffness of a dowel in timber under cyclic load
The fundamental part of a dowel-type connection is the embedment of a steel dowel into the timber that surrounds it, and the stiffness of the timber in embedment is represented by the foundation modulus. A standard experimental...

Seismic resilience timber connection—adoption of shape memory alloy tubes as dowels
This study investigates a novel timber dowel-type connection system using superelastic shape memory alloy (SMA) bar and tubes as dowels, in order to provide self-centering effect. Double-shear connections with SMA and mild steel...
Construction and monitoring of experimental straw bale building in northeast China
Straw bale buildings have the potential reduce the environmental impact of construction. Although the technique has been introduced into northern China more than a decade ago, the construction method and potential problems...
Bar Image Identification Based on Laplacian Eigenmap and Fuzzy SVM

Stiffness of dowel-type timber connections under pre-yield oscillating loads
The dynamic behaviour of timber structures in service is becoming a more important consideration in design as modern engineered wood products allow longer spans and taller timber buildings, which can be sensitive to dynamic...
