Stora Enso
Australia’s first wooden office building will be built with Stora Enso CLT (Cross Laminated Timber). An office building called International House Sydney, located at Barangaroo, Sydney will be built by Lendlease. The major structural components of the 7-storey office with almost 8000 m² are made from more than 2000 m³ of CLT, produced at Stora Enso’s Ybbs unit in Austria....

AITC 108-93 Standard for Heavy Timber Construction
http://www.aitc-glulam.org/shopcart/Pdf/aitc_108-9... [Standards/Building code] [Standard] 1993
American Institute of Timber Construction
Heavy timber construction is that type in which fire resistance is attained by placing limitations on the minimum size, thickness, or composition of all load-carrying wood members as given in this section; by avoiding concealed spaces under floors or roofs; by using approved fastenings, construction details, and adhesive; and by providing the required degree of fire resistance in exterior and interior walls....

Laminated Timber DERIX
X-LAM is cross-laminated timber that combines the best properties of different materials as load-bearing plate or panel construction components. X-LAM is a solid material with a considerable load-bearing capacity. These prefabricated components are easy and fast to install on site - equally well for roofing, ceilings or walls. Cross-laminated timber consists of three or more layers of sawn timber glued together at right-angles. The innovative building material replaces brickwork and concrete, an...

Kazuyuki Matsumoto, Tatsuya Miyake, Takeshi Haramiishi, Takahiro Tsuchimoto, Hiroshi Isoda, Naohito Kawai, Motoi Yasumura
In this paper, the general process and results of the seismic design on a 3-story building with Japanese Sugi CLT construction based on the time history response analysis as the only legal structural design method in Japan at the present moment, are shown. As a result, it is recognized that the building has enough seismic performance for the regulation of seismic design in Japan....

Jenny Sawyer
Cross laminated timber (CLT) is making great inroads into the building structural frame market, providing a new competitor to reinforced concrete and steel. The engineered timber product has been used in Europe and North America for a number of years, and is now gaining recognition across the globe. In Australia, for instance, Lend Lease has built the tallest CLT structure in the world, the Forte apartment block in Melbourne. Meanwhile, planning permission has recently been granted for more than...

High Capacity Timber Joints: Proposal of the Shear plate dowel joint
http://www.byggmek.lth.se/fileadmin/byggnadsmekani... [Bonding/Adhesives] [Thesis/Dissertation] 2017
Gustaf Larsson
An increased use of wood can reduce the environmental footprint of the building sector by being a renewable and ecological material. In order to improve the competitiveness of heavy timber structures, this thesis presents a novel type of timber connection with a high degree of prefabrication, which utilizes a resilient bond line. It has previously been shown that a large conventional stiff adhesive bond line acting in shear can be made stronger by using a less stiff bond line, by e.g. introducin...

Seismic Shaking Table Testing of a Reinforced Concrete Frame with Masonry Infill Strengthened with Cross Laminated Timber Panels
http://schd.ws/hosted_files/wcte2014/d5/ABS642_Sus... [Vibration/Acoustic Performance] [Conference Paper] 2014
Iztok Sustersic, Bruno Dujic
This paper deals with the issue of seismic strengthening of existing older reinforced concrete frame buildings. A new method of strengthening by applying a new outer shell made of cross laminated timber (crosslam or Xlam) plates is presented. A seismic strengthening case study is presented on a 3 story reinforced concrete frame building. The results of shaking table tests of a (strengthened) two-story reinforced concrete frame with and without infill are presented. ...
