Citrus production is a significant agricultural activity in Brazil, the world's largest producer and exporter of orange juice. However, this production faces phytosanitary challenges, including postbloom fruit drop (PFD) caused by fungi of the genus Colletotrichum . The development of this disease is associated with climate conditions, such as temperature and leaf wetness duration (LWD). Citrus production in Brazil has recentl...

This paper presents a comprehensive numerical study aimed at defining the conditions for which Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) floor diaphragms of platform-type CLT buildings can be assumed rigid in linear seismic analyses. Numerical analyses are conducted on a regular CLT archetype within a framework of parametric analyses, in which different geometrical and mechanical parameters including the stiffness of the floor panel-to-pan...
