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... |

Creep and Duration of Load Characteristics of Cross Laminated Timber
http://schd.ws/hosted_files/wcte2014/f4/ABS318_Nak... [Mechanical Performance] [Conference Paper] 2014 Shiro Nakajima, Atsushi Miyatake, Tatsuya Shibuwasa, Yasuhiro Araki, Nobuyoshi Yamaguch, Takeshi Haramiishi, Naoto Ando, Motoi Yasumura Creep and duration of load characteristics of cross laminated timber (CLT) were evaluated from the test results of creep and duration of tests. Japanese Ceder (Cryptomeria japonica) was chosen for the specie for the laminations of the test specimens and API was chosen for the adhesive. The results are summarized as follows: (1) The creep factor [i.e. (Initial deflection + Creep deflection) / Initial deflection] for CLT was evaluated to be 2.0 and was almost equivalent to the creep factor commonl... |

[Mechanical Performance] [Conference Paper] 2014 Yasuhiro Araki, Shiro Nakajima, Yoshinobu Yamaguchi, Takafumi Nakagawa, Atsushi Miyatake, Motoi Yasumura The in-plane shear specimens of full scale CLT panels are tested. From the test results, about the failure behaviour, if there is finger joint near the shear plane, cracks are tended to progress along the joint was confirmed. About the maximum shear unit stress was about 3N/mm 2 , and shear stiffness was about 600GPa calculated as the total cross section effective.... |

Embedding Behaviour of Cross Laminated Timber Panels Manufactured from Sugi

[Seismic Performance] [Conference Paper] 2014 Nobuyoshi Yamaguchi, Shiro Nakajima, Yasuhiro Araki, Atsushi Miyatake, Naoto Ando Rocking of narrow wall panels/columns causes embedding forces on the floor panels during earthquakes. In plain/out of plain compression tests and out of plain embedding tests of CLT panels were conducted. Compression and embedding strengths of in plain/out of plain strengths of Sugi CLT panels were obtained. These strengths of CLT panels with /without edge-glues were compared. Out of plain embedding strength loaded at the corner of CLT panels was fairly less than the normal embedding strength, a... |

Mechanical Behaviour of Dovetail Connections for Cross Laminated Timber Wall Elements
http://schd.ws/hosted_files/wcte2014/30/ABS123_Kog... [Connectors] [Conference Paper] 2014 Georg Stecher, Josef Kögl, Wilfried Beikircher The goal of this study is to determine the shear and tension resistance capacity of a tenon connector made out of beech plywood for the connection of cross laminated timber wall elements. To determine the tensile and shear capacity of the connector according to EN 26 891 [1], tensile and shear tests were performed on cross laminated timber elements with thicknesses of 100 mm, 150mm and 180 mm which were connected with the pin connector. The sample set consisted of 36 test specimens of which were... |

Adhesive Performance at Elevated Temperatures for Engineered Wood Products
https://www.apawood.org:443/Data/Sites/1/documents... [Fire Performance] [Report] 2005 Borjen Yeh, B. Herzog, T.G. Williamson Engineered wood products, such as I-joists and laminated veneer lumber (LVL), have traditionally been manufactured with phenolic-based adhesives in North America. In the last few years, however, an unprecedented number of non-phenolic-based adhesive systems, such as polyurethane-based and isocynate-based adhesives, have been introduced to the engineered wood products industry. While these relatively new adhesives have demonstrated their compliance with most international adhesive standards, conc... |

Soundproofing of CLT internal wall Structures
http://www.clt.info/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Sou... [Vibration/Acoustic Performance] [Report] 2015 Stora Enso Even if there are no specific soundproofing requirements for individual rooms within an apartment, sound insulation should still be borne in mind when planning buildings to ensure privacy and provide protection against noise. In addition to ensuring an acoustically favourable layout of rooms in the building, it also makes sense to incorporate individual structural components with high-quality sound insulation between noisy and quiet areas or between rooms used for different purposes (e.g between... |

Fire Resistance of Cross-Laminated Timber Panels Loaded Out of Plane
https://ascelibrary.org/author/Menis%2C+Agnese... [Markets] [Journal Article] 2013 Massimo Fragiacomo, Agnes Menis, Isaia Clemente, Giovanna Bochiocchio This paper describes bending tests at ambient temperature and large-scale fire tests of cross-laminated timber (Xlam) floor panels. Three specimens exposed to standard fire curve were loaded out-of-plane with different levels of uniformly distributed load, and in two cases collapse was reached. Other unloaded panels were protected using different cladding systems with the aim to investigate their thermal behavior. Experimental data obtained from the tests and discussed within the paper includes ... |
