By comparing standard forest DSS modeling results to exemplary results using the agent-based framework in terms of long-term simulations of timber production and biodiversity conservation in a case study in Sweden, we illustrate how the framework accounts for more differentiated and more realistic forest management practices at the forest landscape level.
For the simulation of forest management strategies we formed virtual forest stands based on plot level information for the distribution of tree species, tree dimensions such as tree height, stem diameters or timber volumes, tree age, and number of trees per hectare.
In this paper, the finite element method (FEM) is used in order to develop a simulation of the mechanical performance of timber rounded dovetail connections between joists and beams under a fire event.
This study focuses on the numerical simulation of the dvw reinforced timber connection with expanded tubes.
In this paper, we used a simulation approach to examine multiple intensities of timber harvest and seed harvest on landscape-scale Korean pine coverage and age structure.
In this way, the overall amount of timber being moved in the simulation matched TPO records and was distributed among mapped harvest patches in proportion to those patches' estimated harvest volume.
This paper discusses a numerical approach, based on beam-to-solid modelling, for the simulation of the nonlinear structural behaviour of timber-to-concrete composite beams made with screws.
Medium-term future height predictions for the analysis of timber supply, forest development scenarios and silviculture scenario simulations, taking (fixed) site and tree effects into account.
First, the main characteristics of the construction process of timber gridshells are described and the basic theoretical concepts for its numerical simulation, through Dynamic Relaxation method, are introduced.
The first trusses were built of timber.
