InTEC is not a funding partnership but by circulating information through the InTEC network we will all learn, avoid duplication and stimulate new research. Funders are invited to contact any of the research bodies - see useful sites and links.
Subjects where we seek existing information and / or new research are:
- Friction tests on stress laminated timbers using UK home grown timbers of various species and moisture contents.
- Signs
- Barriers
- Truss bridges
- Covered timber bridges (roofed)
- Pontoon/floating timber bridges
- Steel/timber beam composites.
- FRP/timber beam composites
- Timber piles
- Round timber connection systems
- External green gluing for timber bridges.
- Log retaining walls
- Standard agricultural buildings. Engineering designs
- Timber crib walls
- Timber Decking. Design/detailing information sheet.
- Monitoring and evaluation of new innovative structures
Please send me an email (intec@forestry.gsi.gov.uk) if you wish to add to the above. It should be regarded as a fluid shopping list.
