Abstract
This study presents an experimental investigation into the thermomechanical behavior of wood structures assembled with densified wooden dowels under fire exposure. The research focuses on Adhesive-Free Engineered Wood Products (AFEWPs), particularly adhesive-free cross-laminated timber (AFCLT) panels, and timber connections incorporating either thermo-mechanically compressed wooden dowels or conventional steel dowels. A series of thermal and thermomechanical tests were conducted to evaluate internal temperature distribution, charring behavior, and structural displacement at elevated temperatures. The fire performance of dowel-type connections was assessed by comparing the thermal response and deformation of joints using wooden and steel dowels. The results indicate that timber connections incorporating densified wooden dowels exhibited better thermal insulation and lower charring rates compared to those with steel dowels, thereby improving the overall fire resistance of the jointed assemblies. This study highlights the potential of densified wood dowel as a sustainable and fire-resilient alternative to metallic fasteners in engineered wood structures.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
