1. Seismic protection technologiesLuka Naumovski, Onur Kaplan, Vojko Kilar, Erkan Çelebi, Giuseppe D’Arenzo, Beatrice Faggiano, Giacomo Iovane, Saeid Javidi, Daniele Casagrande, 2025, samostojni znanstveni sestavek ali poglavje v monografski publikaciji Povzetek: Taller timber buildings (TTBs) offer sustainability benefits but pose unique seismic challenges. The following chapter reviews state-of-the-art seismic protection technologies (SPTs) for TTBs, including low-damage self-centering systems, post-tensioned systems, supplemental damping systems, passive and active control systems and base isolation. It discusses the principles, applications, and future challenges of each technology. While significant progress and innovative solutions have been achieved, outstanding challenges include scaling the technology, optimizing cost-effectiveness, and managing interactions between structural and non-structural elements to enhance functional recovery, damage limitation, and acceleration reduction. By examining current practices and future directions, this review facilitates a broader understanding and implementation of SPTs, promoting the sustainable growth of TTBs in seismic-prone regions.

2. Natural exposure comparison of timber joints bonded with polyurethane adhesive in two climatic conditionsMartin Capuder, Gary M. Raftery, Weixi Wang, Zubin Karami, Boris Azinović, Andreja Pondelak, Luka Naumovski, Tomaž Pazlar, 2025, objavljeni znanstveni prispevek na konferenci Povzetek: The increased use of engineered wood in the built environment is attracting much attention because of the significant sustainable attributes. The formation of high quality reliable structural adhesive bonds is essential during the manufacture of such products. This research examines and compares the performance of bonded European beech and Radiata pine subject to natural weathering, comparing untreated, preservative treated and mineralized wood. Bonded joints were naturally weathered in Slovenia and New Zealand, respectively. The fracture energy was evaluated through Mode I fracture tests using the double cantilever beam arrangement at various ageing stages. FTIR analysis was conducted to assess chemical changes in the adhesives and wood substrate. The research provides insights into the interactions between ageing, wood species, and adhesive performance, enhancing timber structures sustainability.

3. Influence of surface preparation and surface topography on tensile shear strength of polyurethane adhesively bonded beech wood single-lap joints : a finite element method approachLuka Naumovski, Martin Capuder, Jakub Michal Sandak, Boris Azinović, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: In this study, the mechanical properties of bonded single-lap joints are analysed by tensile lap shear tests on beech wood. A one-component polyurethane adhesive was used, and three different methods of surface preparation were applied: planing, sanding along the grain, and sanding perpendicular to the grain. Prior to bonding, the wooden lamellae underwent laser scanning to obtain surface profiles, which were then analysed for surface roughness. Scanned surface topographies with their features were integrated into the finite element analysis (FEA) software COMSOL Multiphysics to simulate the lap shear bonding area for different surface profiles and roughness. The FEA model implements linear material models, which represent the adherend and thin adhesive layer, combined with a modified local cohesive zone model for the adhesive bond interfacial forces. The experimental tests were conducted in a dry environment, where a higher surface roughness achieved by sanding correlated with a higher tensile shear strength. This increased surface roughness was attributed to the enhanced mechanical interlocking mechanism. This finding aligns with the FE analysis, which showed that increased surface roughness, micropillars and indentations, led to variations in stress concentration and distribution compared to a smooth surface bond.
