With a total surface area of 597,560 square feet, Arbora aims to become the world’s largest residential project featuring a cross-laminated timber (CLT) mass timber structure. Rental units are slated to be ready as of fall 2016 and the condos and townhouses will be completed in fall 2017....

Fragility assessment of building structural systems in Mid-America
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/eqe.693... [Seismic Performance] [Journal Article] 2007
Bruce R. Ellingwood, Ozan Cem Celik, Kursat Kinali
Uncertainty in response of buildings and other civil infrastructure to earthquake ground motion is due to the inherent randomness in the ground motion itself—peak intensity, time‐varying amplitude and strong‐motion duration, and frequency content—and local design and construction practices. In the recently completed SAC project and ongoing research in the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research (PEER) Center, the focus is on performance of buildings designed for regions of high seismicity. In co...

Construction Advantages Sell Hotel Developer on CLT
http://www.woodworks.org/wp-content/uploads/4-Stor... [General Information] [Report] 2016
WoodWorks
From the outside, it looks similar to the thousands of other hotels built across the country in 2015. But when you learn that this project was completed 37 percent faster and the structure built with 44 percent fewer person hours than similar hotels, it warrants a closer look. Developer Lendlease used cross-laminated timber (CLT) to build the four-story, 62,688-square-foot Candlewood Suites® hotel at Redstone Arsenal, a U.S. Army post near Huntsville, Alabama. Completed in December 2015, the pro...

Wood Brings the Savings Home
http://www.woodworks.org/wp-content/uploads/Wood-B... [Economics/Costs] [Report] 2013
WoodWorks
The number of American seniors is growing dramatically—to the point that there are now more people age 65 and older than at any other period in US history. At the same time, a record number of young people attended American colleges and universities in 2012, stretching the housing capabilities of cash-strapped educational institutions. And lack of affordable housing, particularly in urban areas, increasingly impacts communities in ways that include safety and public health. Because budget is alw...

CLT Milestone in Montana
http://www.woodworks.org/wp-content/uploads/CS-The... [Markets] [Report] 2012
WoodWorks
It happened so quickly that most design and construction professionals probably missed it. But when the first commercial building project in the U.S. constructed with cross laminated timber (CLT) was completed in 2011, it opened the door to new opportunities for the entire building industry. The Long Hall in Whitefish, Montana epitomizes many of the benefits of CLT construction—speed of installation, environmental and aesthetic benefits of wood, and energy efficiency. The two-story wood structur...

Following on from the author s recently completed doctorial research investigating Scandinavian industrially produced engineered construction methodologies and their potential application in Australia, this paper reports on the research and development of a hybridised nail laminated 3 ply CLT and OSB wall panel with a cavity through the design and construction of a prototype commercial building for Western Australia s largest soft wood timber processor, Wespine....
