Vertical Movement in Wood Platform Frame Structures: Movement Prediction
http://cwc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/vertical-... [Moisture/Durability] [Report] 2013
FPInnovations, Canadian Wood Council
It is not possible or practical to precisely predict the vertical movement of wood structures due to the many factors involved in construction. It is, however, possible to obtain a good estimate of the vertical movement to avoid structural, serviceability, and building envelope problems over the life of the structure. ...

Fire Performance of Timber Structures under Natural Fire Conditions

Andrea Frangi, Mario Fontana
In recent years the use of wood as a building material has become popular, especially for dwellings. One of the preconditions for its use is adequate fire safety. Technical measures, especially sprinkler and smoke detection systems, well equipped fire brigades and a better knowledge in the area of structural fire design of timber structures allow the use of timber in a wider field of application. Full scale tests on wooden modular hotels were performed under natural fire conditions to look at th...

Thermo-Mechanical Damage Modeling of Polymer Matrix Composite Structures in Fire
http://www.iafss.org/publications/fss/10/1179/view... [Fire Performance] [Conference Paper] 2011
Changsong Luo, Jim Lua
The overall objective of this research is to develop a modeling and simulation approach to predict the thermo-mechanical damage of composite materials subjected to fire environments. A three-dimensional thermal damage model is developed for glass-reinforced polymer composite materials subject to high temperature and radiative environments. Homogenization methods are used to determine the properties of damaged material in terms of the volume fractions associated with composite fiber, resin, and c...

Mechanical Performance of Yellow-Poplar Cross Laminated Timber
https://vtechworks.lib.vt.edu/handle/10919/64863... [Raw Materials] [Report] 2015
Milad Mohamadzadeh, Daniel Hindman
Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is a structural wood composite material consisting of multi-layers of lumber orthogonal to each other creating massive wood panels. Development of CLT introduced a new concept of using wood in low to midrise buildings as an alternative for concrete and steel. Speed and ease of construction, seismic performance and carbon sequestration are advantages of CLT material. Softwood species have been traditionally used as wood structural materials while hardwood species hav...

Khristopher Beagley, Joseph Loferski, Daniel Hindman, John Bouldin
This study examines if Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) design methods approved for softwood species can be used with hardwood species, specifically low-grade hardwoods. Analytical predictions from researcher-generated computer programs will be compared to data from experimental evaluations of hardwood CLT. Successful completion will allow for an under-utilized timber resource to be incorporated into CLT production....

DOTHAN, Ala. – On June 20, we reported that Florida-based International Beams, a manufacturer of high quality, pre-fabricated i-joist beams, was converting a General Electric 227,000-square-foot into a highly specialized manufacturing facility. International Beams says the plant will be the biggest cross-laminated timber manufacturing facility in the U.S. when it opens in early 2018. The $19.6 million expansion will create 60 jobs at the plant right away, and create other jobs in local timber, ...

When Seattle architect Susan Jones built her wonderful little house out of Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) she had to order it from Canada; there was not a single architectural CLT plant in the entire United States This seemed so strange, in a country that prides itself on innovation and ingenuity and has such a huge forestry industry and so much wood. Its a shame, because CLT really is a dream material; as I have noted before, its made from wood, a renewable resource, it sequesters carbon, it is s...

While there are a number of different products on the market, including Glulam and Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL), the material that seems to hold the most promise for changing construction is Cross Laminated Timber (CLT). The engineered material is created by stacking and gluing smaller pieces of structural lumber, each layer perpendicular to the one below it, to create wooden panels with a number of advantages to other commercial construction materials. According to Reinhard Sauter, owner of S...

Boston-based Leers Weinzapfel Associates recently completed construction of the new Design Building at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, the first academic building in the U.S. to use a Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) as its primary structure. (See images of the building under construction here.) Targeted for LEED Gold, the building includes other sustainable architectural features like bio-swales for water runoff filtration, a green-roof which doubles as an outdoor classroom, and the large...

OZ Architecture has designed Boulder’s first cross-laminated timber (CLT) building – one of only a few in the nation to fully integrate CLT into its walls, floors, roof and structure. The project, led by OZ’s Workplace practice area which specializes in office design and architecture, is referred to as “The Loading Dock” due to the creative, adaptive reuse of a former warehouse. The existing building will be transformed and reinterpreted from its original function into a 60,000 square foot offi...
