Structurlam
Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) has been manufactured in Europe for over a decade. CLT is a revolutionary building system that substitutes for concrete, masonry and steel in some applications. Ideal for floors, walls, and roofs, CLT has been described as the perfect structural solution. Structurlam has created its own line of Cross Laminated Timber called CrossLam. Using layers of locally sourced softwood stacked at right angles and glued together, CrossLam provides load distribution and dimensiona...

University of British Colombia
The University of British Columbia is at the forefront of the contemporary movement to revitalize mass-timber construction and demonstrate potential applications for engineered wood products. The innovative wood buildings erected to date on the Vancouver campus have been primarily institutional and operational, such as the Forest Sciences Centre, Campus Energy Centre, and Wesbrook Community Centre. The newest building, and the first residential one, to be added to the portfolio is the University...

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...

Racking Resistance and Ductility of CLT Shear Walls Under Horizontal and Vertical Loads
http://schd.ws/hosted_files/wcte2014/5e/ABS678_Yas... [Mechanical Performance] [Conference Paper] 2014
Motoi Yasumura, Yoshimasa Ito
This paper shows the racking test results of CLT shear walls with different failure modes. The failure modes of shear walls were designed by using reliability analysis considering the failure of the hold down connections at the bottom end of shear wall and that of the joints connecting two CLT panels at the centre of the wall. It was shown that the design of joints with the yield capacity Py for the central joints SP and the ultimate capacity Pu for the hold down connection HD (Mode III) determi...

Estimation of Bending Stiffness, Moment Carrying Capacity and Internal Shear Force of Sugi CLT Panel
http://schd.ws/hosted_files/wcte2014/d0/ABS307_Oka... [Mechanical Performance] [Conference Paper] 2014
Minoru Okabe, Motoi Yasumura, Kenji Kobayashi
CLT panels consist of several layers of lumber stacked crosswise and glued together on their faces. Prototype Sugi CLT floor panels were manufactured and bending and internal shear tests were carried out under the different parameters of lumber MOE, number of layers, thickness of lumber and thickness of CLT panels. On the basis of above tests, internal shear strength, bending stiffness and moment carrying capacity were estimated based on the lumber properties by Monte Carlo method. Bending stiff...

Accommodating Shrinkage in Multi-Story Wood-Frame Structures
http://www.woodworks.org/wp-content/uploads/Accomo... [Moisture/Durability] [Report] 2017
Richard Mclain, Doug Steimle
In wood-frame buildings of three or more stories, cumulative shrinkage can be significant and have an impact on the function and performance of finishes, openings, mechanical/electrical/plumbing (MEP) systems, and structural connections. However, as more designers look to wood-frame construction to improve the cost and sustainability of their mid-rise projects, many have learned that accommodating wood shrinkage is actually very straightforward. Wood is hygroscopic, meaning it has the ability to...

USDA, FPMU, Forest Service
More than 500 attendees from 14 countries attended the United States’ first Mass Timber Conference, organized by Forest Business Network, March 22-24 in Portland, Oregon. Speakers, workshops and exhibits focused on cross-laminated timber (CLT), along with other mass timber products, and their use in mid-rise and tall buildings in North America. Professionals from the entire wood and building supply chain attended the conference representing architects, engineers, sawmills, building constructors,...

Maximizing Value with Mid-Rise Construction
http://www.woodworks.org/wp-content/uploads/Maximi... [General Information] [Report] 2015
Lisa Podesto
Growing demand for mid-rise buildings, including apartments and condominiums, senior living, affordable, and mixed-use commercial/residential developments, creates both challenge and opportunity for building professionals as they work to balance value with performance. Wood-frame construction is a cost-effective option for mid-rise structures because it allows high density (five stories for many residential occupancy groups, six for office) at relatively low cost, while providing other benefits ...

Fire design of arch-type timber roof
http://imateh.rtu.lv/wp-content/uploads/sites/28/2... [Fire Performance] [Magazine/Newspaper Article] 2016
T. Saknite, D. Serdjuks, V. Goremikins, L. Pakrastins, N.I. Vatin
Lattice timber structures, which are made of elements connected by punched steel plates, are widely used for residential and industrial buildings. The main types of the structures are trusses, frames, and arches, which enables covering spans up to 30 m and more. The behavior of structures on fire plays an important role in the design process of the structures. The cylindrical roof with a 30 m span and the main load-bearing structures of lattice arches with elements connected by punched metal pla...
