Cross Laminated Timber in the United States: Past, Present, and Future
https://www.fpl.fs.fed.us/products/publications/sp... [General Information] [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... |

Fire Safe Design of Exposed Mass Timber in Buildings
https://www.fpl.fs.fed.us/products/publications/sp... [Fire Performance] [Presentation] 2015 David Barber As timber buildings are constructed taller, architects and building owners are asking for more timber to be exposed within compartments and asking fire engineers to develop solutions to allow more timber to be seen. Addressing how the exposed timber impacts a fire over its full development through to self-extinguishment is a very current fire safety issue. There is limited research available on how exposed timber within a compartment impacts on the fire peak heat release rate, temperatures, and ... |

Forest Products Laboratory Research on the Fire Performance of Cross Laminated Timber
https://www.fpl.fs.fed.us/products/publications/sp... [Fire Performance] [Presentation] 2015 Larua E. Hasburgh, Keith J. Bourne Wood has been employed as a building material for thousands of years because it is readily available and easy to work with. Due to a recent push for sustainable construction, the use of mass timber elements, such as cross laminated timber (CLT), is increasing. The Fire Research Team at the USDA Forest Products Laboratory have developed collaborations with universities and other institutions to study the fire resistance properties of CLT and improve their marketability for mid- to high-rise const... |

Performance of Mass Timber Structures under Lateral Loads: The Canadian Experience
https://www.fpl.fs.fed.us/products/publications/sp... [Moisture/Durability] [Presentation] 2015 Marjan Popovski In the last 20 years mass timber (MT) products have emerged as cost-competitive, carbon efficient, sustainable and reliable structural components for use in residential and non-residential applications. They can complement the existing light-frame and heavy-timber systems or can be used in new innovative construction applications that are currently dominated by concrete, masonry, and steel. MT has also given the opportunity to wood as a structural material to be used in tall buildings once again... |

The Heavy Timber Buckling Restrained Braced Frame System as a Solution for Commercial Construction in Regions of High Seismicity
https://www.fpl.fs.fed.us/products/publications/sp... [Seismic Performance] [Presentation] 2015 Hans-Erik Blomgren, Jan-Peter Koppitz, Abel Diaz Valdes Wood construction has been traditionally utilized to reduce inertial demands in high seismic regions. Applications however are often limited to low-rise buildings of light-wood construction. Recent advancements in timber technologies are pushing mass timber systems into larger commercial scale markets where steel and concrete systems currently dominate the landscape. In high seismic regions, however, timber buildings currently lack code-defined lateral force resisting systems. This paper present... |

Tall Buildings in Numbers
https://www.nordic.ca/en/company/news/tall-timber-... [Tall Buildings] [Web Page] 2017 Nordic Structures In the past few years, the tall building industry has become increasingly interested in the use of timber as a major structural element in skyscrapers. This has resulted in in a now-worldwide wave of research, built projects, and ever-more daring speculative proposals using mass timber – engineered wood products that are just as robust as their concrete and steel counterparts. In 2008 there was one mass timber building over eight stories tall. (Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat)... |

Arena Stage at the Mead Center for American Theater
https://www.thinkwood.com/our-projects/arena-stage... [Case Study/Projects] [Web Page] ThinkWood Arena Stage is the first modern structure of its size in Washington, DC to use heavy timber components. For this $130 million project, designers had the task of updating two existing theaters, both classified as historic structures. To provide acoustic separation from traffic and the nearby airport, the design team covered and wrapped the theaters with an insulated glass wall and turned the area between them into the new lobby and offices. They added a new third theater and covered it all with a... |

Cross-laminated timber failure modes for fire conditions
https://doi.org/10.14264/uql.2016.403... [General Information] [Conference Paper] 2015 University of Queensland, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University Tall timber building designs have utilized cross-laminated timber (CLT) significantly over the past decade due the sustainable nature of timber and the many advantages of using an engineered mass timber product. Several design methods have been established to account for the composite action between the orthogonally adhered timber plies. These methods assume perfect bonding of the adjacent plies by the adhesive. CLT designs methods for timber in fire have also been formulated. These methods rel... |
