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....

X-Lam Cross-laminated timber
http://www.derix.de/data/X-LAM_Broschuere_2016_Kur... [Commercial/Company Information] [Others] 2016
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...

A Seismic Design of 3-Story Building Using Japanese Sugi CLT Panels
http://schd.ws/hosted_files/wcte2014/b5/ABS577_Mat... [Seismic Performance] [Conference Paper] 2014
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. ...

Structural analysis of in-plane loaded CLT beam with holes: FE-analyses and parameter studies Structural analysis of in-plane loaded CLT beam with holes: FE-analyses and param-eter studies
http://portal.research.lu.se/portal/files/11532993... [Vibration/Acoustic Performance] [Report] 2016
Mario Jelec, Vlatka Rajcic, Henrik Danielsson, Erik Serrano
Thanks to its crosswise orientation, CLT is a very versatile material capable of carrying both in- and out-of-plane loads and can be used for wall or floor elements as well as for linear members. Despite its obvious benefits, the current status of CLT in European product and standard design still presents a major obstacle for developers, producers and designers, since properties and design for CLT have been regulated via national or international European Technical Approvals (ETAs). A product st...

Cross-Laminated Timber - Properties and Use for Building Purposes: A review from the Experience of Swiss Researchers
http://www.proligno.ro/en/articles/2013/1/niemz_fu... [General Information] [Report] 2013
Peter Niemz, Walter Sonderegger
An overview on the mechanical and physical properties of cross laminated timber (solid wood panels) in the building industry and its use in timber construction is presented. Structure-property relations for solid wood based materials are discussed. Important properties, such as strength, sorption, diffusion, thermal conductivity in relation to the board structure are presented. By varying the structure, the properties can be optimized over a wide range. The focus of this publication lies on expe...
