North America Bio-Materials: Summary
http://www.fpac.ca/wp-content/uploads/publications... [General Information] [Report] 2011 FPInnovations What needs to happen for the solid wood products’ industry to take the pathways toward a profitable future? No one would argue that innovation will be key, being the propensity to develop/ adopt new products, processes or building practices. Innovation must always fill two conditions: serving a customer need and being profitable. Up to now the solid wood products’ industry has seen most of its innovation in cost reductions and delivery logistics. In other words, successes of the past relied heav... |

Tackle Climate Change: Use Wood
http://www.fpac.ca/wp-content/uploads/Tackle_Clima... [Environmental Performance] [Report] 2017 naturally: wood Well-managed forests yield immense environmental and economic benefits. They provide important habitats, clean air, drinking water, recreational opportunities and outstanding products. They also play a key role in mitigating climate change by absorbing and storing carbon in trees, soil and biomass. ... |

Seismic performance of embedded steel beam connection in cross-laminated timber
http://www.nrcresearchpress.com/doi/10.1139/cjce-2... [Connectors] [Journal Article] 2017 Xiaoyue Zhang, Md Riasat Azim, Pooja Bhat, Marjan Popovski, Thomas Tannert Recent developments in novel engineered mass timber products and connection systems have created the possibility to design and construct tall timber-based buildings. This research presents the experiments conducted on the steel-wood connection as main energy dissipating part of a novel steel–timber hybrid system labelled Finding the Forest Through the Trees (FFTT). The performance was investigated using quasi-static monotonic and reversed cyclic tests. The influence of different steel beam profi... |

Cross Laminated Timber Beams - Rational Structural Analysis
http://portal.research.lu.se/portal/en/projects/cr... [Mechanical Performance] [Web Page] Henrik Danielsson Over the last years, there has been a significant increase in the interest of cross laminated timber (CLT or X-lam) from industry and the research community. Reasons for this include environmental benefits from using wood-based products in construction, economic benefits due to the high level of prefabrication and rapid on-site erection as well as advantageous mechanical properties. The basic concept of CLT, i.e. the orthogonally layered composition, makes production of structural elements with ... |

Experimental Testing of Rocking Cross-Laminated Timber Walls with Resilient Slip
https://ascelibrary.org/doi/abs/10.1061/%28ASCE%29... [Connectors] [Journal Article] 2018 Ashkan Hasheim, Puyan Zarnani, Reza Masoudnia, Pierre Quenneville Allowing a wall to rock and uplift during a seismic event can cap the forces and minimize the postevent residual damage. Slip friction connections comprised of flat steel plates sliding over each other have been experimentally tested as the hold-down connectors in timber shear walls and performed well in terms of the hysteretic behavior and the energy dissipation rate. However, the main disadvantage of these joints is the undesirable residual displacements. In recognition of this fact, a novel t... |

WCD 1 - Details for Conventional Wood Frame Construction
http://www.awc.org/codes-standards/publications/wc... [Standards/Building code] [Web Page] 2001 American Wood Council WCD #1 is a comprehensive summary of rules and guidelines for the proper construction of wood frame buildings built to conventional construction provisions in the model building codes. WCD #1 includes information on various types of construction, framing systems, fire and draftstopping, protection against termites and decay, fastenings, insulation, and materials, as well as a series of figures included to illustrate proper framing techniques. Today, some building codes may require a more rigoro... |

Approximate R-Factor for Cross-Laminated Timber Walls in Multistory Buildings
https://ascelibrary.org/doi/10.1061/%28ASCE%29AE.1... [Seismic Performance] [Journal Article] 2013 Shiling Pei, John W. van de Lindt, Marjan Popovski Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is a wood construction technology that has been utilized in Europe for several decades and has become even more popular recently. Although the technology has been in existence for approximately 20 years, its seismic performance has been explored only recently by a handful of researchers. Interest in bringing CLT to the North American construction market necessitates a full understanding of the seismic behavior of CLT systems and the development of a response-modifica... |
