Advances and Applications in Timber Structures: 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is a follow-up to the first Special Issue, entitled “Advances and Applications in Timber Structures”, published in Buildings.

Advancements in timber structures have been significant in recent years, driven by a combination of technological innovation, environmental concerns, and a renewed interest in sustainable building practices. Here, we present some key advancements and their applications. In summary, advancements in timber structures are making them a more viable, sustainable, and versatile option for modern construction, with applications ranging from residential and commercial buildings to large-span structures and innovative architectural designs.

To address these critical aspects, we invite researchers and practitioners to contribute to a Special Issue on Advances and Applications in Timber Structures: 2nd Edition to be published in Buildings, the leading international journal in structural engineering.

This Special Issue will explore the latest advancements and innovations in structural systems utilizing mass timber components and other materials. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Engineered Wood Products (EWPs);
• Hybrid Structures;
• Prefabrication and Modular Construction;
• Digital Design and Manufacturing;
• Sustainability and Environmental Performance;
• Fire Safety and Durability;
• Innovative Architectural Applications;
• Research and Development.
