Making the use of measuring systems for logging machines more reliable

Logging machines are equipped with systems for measuring the products they shape in the trees to be harvested. In order for them to provide reliable data and therefore useful to professionals, the deployment of clear and rigorous practices is a necessary condition. Several forestry and wood industry organisations have therefore joined forces to describe and communicate the best practices to be implemented.

Digital simulation

Enoncé du projet In the context of optimising furniture design approaches, there is a need for numerical tools which, in addition to experimental validation, allow different furniture configurations to be simulated in a short time. This type of mixed approach allows the design process to be shortened considerably, and thus contributes to improving the competitiveness […]

Summer thermal

Timber frame construction meets energy, acoustic, mechanical, reliability, durability, fire and environmental requirements. However, this construction system is penalised in terms of thermal comfort in summer, due to its inertia, which is considered to be light or very light by the regulations.

Selection, mobilisation and evaluation for Douglas fir

The FCBA technology institute, INRAE and ONF have pooled their trials on Douglas-fir genetics to select an improvement population that meets the expectations of the industry. This selection explores the diversity present in the Douglas-fir's area of origin with descendants from Washington and Oregon as well as from California. The improvement population will be evaluated and conserved as the basis for a longer-term breeding program.

Fire propagation on wooden facade

Fire safety regulations include a section on the risk of fire spreading in building facades. These regulations changed in 2010. A new version of technical instruction 249 is applicable to establishments open to the public and provides generic solutions for wood construction.
