http://www.clt.info/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/201... [Case Study/Projects] [Others] 2017 Stora Enso A residential construction project with a total of nine residential units is currently being built in Kuchl in solid wood construction using CLT by Stora Enso (Cross Laminated Timber). After only one year of construction - the timber elements only take 10 days to erect - the handover will take place at the end of October 2017. The residential construction project not only impresses with the sustainable timber building material, but also with timeless architecture as well as local and ecological... |

Experimental Investigation of Bending Behavior of Timber-to-Timber Composite-Section Beams
http://schd.ws/hosted_files/wcte2014/47/ABS411_Sal... [Mechanical Performance] [Conference Paper] 2014 Osama Salem Wood has long been in demand as a competent building material due to its beauty, economy, and ease of construction. Excellent material properties are exhibited by a number of new engineered wood products such as glued-laminated (Glulam) and cross-laminated timbers (CLT). New experimental data on the structural behaviour of CLT-to-Glulam composite-section beams is presented in this paper. Four large-scale test assemblies composed of two different engineered wood sections were tested. Beam composi... |

Fire and structural performance of non-metallic timber connections
http://opus.bath.ac.uk/46575/1/PhD_Thesis_Final_Ve... [Connectors] [Thesis/Dissertation] 2015 Daniel Brandon Recent studies showed the need for timber connections with high fire performance. Connections of members in timber structures commonly comprise steel connectors, such as dowels, screws, nails and toothed plates. However, multiple studies have shown that the presence of exposed metal in timber connections leads to a poor performance under fire conditions. Replacing metallic fasteners with non-metallic fasteners potentially enhances the fire performance of timber connections. Previous studies sho... |

Evaluating Hygrothermal Performance of Interlocking Cross-Laminated Timber Walls
http://www.apawood.org/Data/Sites/1/documents/tech... [Moisture/Durability] [Report] Samuel V. Glass, Ryan E. Smith Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is a multilayer panel made of lumber, with each layer aligned perpendicular and joined to adjacent layers for rigidity and dimensional stability. Over the past two decades, CLT has become established in Europe for use as prefabricated structural members in floor, wall, and roof assemblies. This construction method is gaining interest in North America, but widespread adoption would require development of production capacity, design standards, and code acceptance. One ... |

[Seismic Performance] [Conference Paper] 2014 Tobias Smith, Antonio Di Cesare, Felice Carlo Ponzo, Michele Simonetti, Domenico Nigro, Stefano Pampanin The following paper describes the numerical modelling used to predict the dynamic behaviour of a post-tensioned timber building with the addition of a hysteretic energy dissipation system. This modelling is in support of a shaking table test programme performed on a 2/3rd scale, 3-dimensional, 3-storey structure made from post-tensioned timber frames in both directions. Testing was carried out in the structural laboratory of the University of Basilicata in Potenza, Italy as part of a collaborati... |

Case Studies of Risk-to-Life due to Fire in Mid- and High-Rise, Combustible and Non-combustible Buildings Using CUrisk
http://atlanticwoodworks.ca/wp-content/uploads/201... [Fire Performance] [Report] 2015 Xia Zhang, Jim Mehaffey, Georg Hadjisophocleous Both the BCBC and the NBCC are objective‐based codes whose provisions are deemed to be acceptable solutions. Alternative solutions are permitted; however, they must be demonstrated to provide a level of performance equivalent to that of the acceptable solution they are replacing. There is interest in Canada in constructing tall wood buildings. To aid in the design and approval of such buildings, FPInnovations oversaw the development of a Technical Guide for the Design and Construction of Tall Wo... |

Structural analysis of in-plane loaded CLT beam with holes: FE-analyses and parameter studies
http://lup.lub.lu.se/search/ws/files/11532993/INTE... [Vibration/Acoustic Performance] [Conference Paper] 2016 Mario Jelec, Vlatka Rajcic, Henrik Daneilsson, 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... |
