Expanding the cross-laminated timber market through building moisture monitoring and improved modeling
https://www.fpl.fs.fed.us/products/publications/sp... [Markets] [Report] 2017 Shiling Pei, Samuel L. Zelinka Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is a recently developed heavy timber building material that has potential to expand the wood building market. Although much has been studied on CLT building system structural and fire behavior, little is known about the construction and in-service moisture performance of CLT buildings. This project will address the dearth of knowledge and data on CLT building moisture performance and modeling by conducting on-site monitoring of CLT building projects in different U.S.... |

Appartment building Sternäckerweg
http://www.clt.info/cz/blog/2017/09/01/appartment-... [Case Study/Projects] [Web Page] 2017 Stora Enso The Sternäckerweg residential property construction project in Graz, Austria is currently one of the biggest “wooden building sites” in Styria. In a four-phase operation, 400 residential units with a useful living space area of about 27,400 m² are being built, as well as a kindergarten. Almost the whole project is planned as a solid wood construction using CLT (Cross Laminated Timber), while the basements and the underground car park are executed in reinforced concrete. The practical and ecolog... |

Southern Exposure
https://www.canadianarchitect.com/features/souther... [Case Study/Projects] [Magazine/Newspaper Article] 2017 Alex Bozikovic I can smell the fragrance of forest. In this case it’s emanating from some planks of softwood attached to a lobby ceiling at T3, an office building in downtown Minneapolis. A few steps further in, a stair made of edge-laminated veneer lumber rises into the corner, past a photographic mural of a coniferous forest. Its developer—Houston, Texas-based Hines—has named it T3, for “timber, transit and technology,” and all of this woodiness, real and symbolic, indicates the building’s raison d’être. Its... |

Cross Laminated Timber in the United States: Past, Present, and Future
https://www.fpl.fs.fed.us/products/publications/sp... [Markets] [Presentation] 2015 Doug Rammer Cross laminated timber (CLT) is making inroads into the United States building construction market, but research and design needs still limit the expanded use. CLT use in the United States began with the construction of the Gastonia Bell tower in 2010. This effort was quickly followed up with the development and adoption of ANSI/APA PG 320 in 2012 and the publishing of the U.S. CLT Handbook in 2013. This talk will briefly discuss the past efforts, along with the more recent developments of inclu... |

[Mechanical Performance] [Journal Article] 2007 Arne Gulzow, Daniel Gsell, Rene Steiger Non-destructive evaluation of elastic parameters of square-shaped cross-laminated solid wood panels, built up symmetrically with 3 layersSome of the most important material properties of engineered wood products, like cross-laminated solid wood panels, are the elastic properties. Regarding panels, the two in plane MOEs (E ) and three shear moduli (G ) are of particular interest. In order to determine these parameters with an economically and non-destructive technique, a method was developed whi... |
