Solid Wood: Case Studies in Mass Timber Architecture, Technology and Design
https://www.woodsolutions.com.au/articles/solid-wo... [Design/Architectural aspects] [Web Page] Joseph Mayo Wood often features as an accentual or complementary choice in modern building, cladding and panelling in timber to create a warm and attractive space while maintaining a simple, cost effective steel and/or concrete structure. But Solid Wood does not focus on wood as a supplementary material, and it does not focus on wood in its traditional form. Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) and glue-laminated timber (glulam) dominate in this expert analysis on wood as a structural material in large buildings to... |

Rotational Behavior of Bolted Beam-to-Column Connections with Locally Cross-Lami
https://doi.org/10.1061/(ASCE)ST.1943-541X.0001035... [Connectors] [Journal Article] 2015 Mingqian Wang, Xiaobin Song, Xianglin Gu, Yunfan Zhang This paper summarizes the results of an experimental study on the rotational behavior of bolted beam-to-column glulam connections reinforced using locally cross-laminated glulam members. Twenty-two full-scale connection specimens were tested through monotonic and reversed cyclic loading, from which the moment / rotational angle relationships were established. The results indicated that the cross-laminated technique leads to a more ductile failure mode with cross-aligned inner layers of laminas f... |

Force Modification Factors for CLT Structures for NBCC
https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007%2F978-94... [Seismic Performance] [Conference Paper] 2014 Marjan Popovski, Shiling Pei, John W. van de Lindt, E. Karacabeyli Cross-laminated timber (CLT) as a structural system is not introduced in European or North American building codes, and there is limited information available on the seismic factors for design of such structures. The objective of the study was to derive suitable ductility-based force modification factors (Rd-factors) for seismic design of CLT buildings in the National Building Code of Canada (NBCC). For that purpose, the well-known six-storey NEESWood Capstone wood-frame building was redesigned ... |

Shear behavior of cross-laminated timber wall consisting of small panels
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs10086... [Mechanical Performance] [Journal Article] 2016 Jung-Kwon Oh, Jung-Pyo Hong, Chul-Ki Kim, Sung-Jun Pang, Sang-Joon Lee, Jun-Jae Lee A cross-laminated timber (CLT) wall plays the role of resisting shear stress induced by lateral forces as well as vertical load. Due to the press size, CLT panels have a limitation in size. To minimize the initial investment, some glulam manufactures wanted to make a shear wall element with small-size CLT panels and panel-to-panel connections and wanted to know whether the shear wall would have equivalent shear performance with the wall made of a single CLT panel. In this study, this was investi... |

Katerra’s approach could make factory construction a model for the future
https://archpaper.com/2018/04/katerras-craig-curti... [Markets] [Magazine/Newspaper Article] 2018 Antonio Pacheco Established in 2015, Katerra is one of the firms that are shifting how buildings get designed and built in the United States by pioneering a hybrid business model that combines prefabrication with mass-customization. The Menlo Park, California–based company is a relative newcomer in the field, but with over $1.3 billion in projects and an expanding nationwide presence, Katerra is poised to make factory construction a thing for the future. AN’s West editor Antonio Pacheco spoke to Craig Curtis, p... |

Awareness, Perceptions and Willingness to Adopt Cross-Laminated Timber in the United States
https://conservancy.umn.edu/bitstream/handle/11299... [Markets] [Thesis/Dissertation] 2014 Maria Fernanda Laguarda-Mallo One of the most recent innovations in Engineered Wood Products is Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT). The system is based on the use of multi-layered panels made from solid wood boards glued together, with the grain direction of successive layers placed at 90° angles. The cross-laminated configuration improves rigidity, dimensional stability, and mechanical properties. Structurally, CLT offers performance comparable to concrete or steel, with panels suitable for use as walls, floors, roofs, and other ... |

Application of European design principles to cross laminated timber
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/... [Design/Architectural aspects] [Journal Article] 2018 Gerhard Fink, Jochen Kohler, Reinhard Brandner The design of cross laminated timber (CLT) structures is not included in the current version of European; structural timber design standards of EN 1995 (Eurocode 5, EC 5). Due to the increasing importance of CLT, in; different applications such as complete wall or floor elements as well as girders, it is one of the main goals of the; currently ongoing revision of EC 5 to provide design principles for CLT structures. In the present paper some; general aspects, relevant for the implementation of C... |

https://www.treehugger.com/green-architecture/dals... [Markets] [Others] Dalston Lane is currently the worlds largest building constructed with Cross-laminated timber (CLT), the fancy new building material that is having its moment. Who would have thought that the reasons CLT pioneers Waugh Thistleton used the stuff was that it was cheap and fast. But its true; the first CLT tower, Murray Grove, only got approved by the developer when they could prove that it would cost less overall than a standard building.

[Seismic Performance] [Journal Article] 2017 Cagatay Demirci, Christian Malaga-Chuquitaype, Lorenzo Macorini This paper investigates the seismic response of multi‐storey cross‐laminated timber (CLT) buildings and its relationship with salient ground‐motion and building characteristics. Attention is given to the effects of earthquake frequency content on the inelastic deformation demands of platform CLT walled structures. The response of a set of 60 CLT buildings of varying number of storeys and panel fragmentation levels representative of a wide range of structural configurations subjected to 1656 real... |
