Barriers to the design and use of cross - laminated timber structures
http://web.pdx.edu/~cgriffin/research/jschmidt_clt... [Moisture/Durability] [Report] J. Schmidt, C.T. Griffin Wood structures not only have a significantly lower embodied energy and associated carbon emissions than equivalent steel and concrete structural systems, wood is a carbon sink, removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and storing it in building components. The reduction of carbon dioxide is critical to addressing related energy and climate issues. Unfortunately, the structural properties and life-safety concerns have limited the use of wood to the structural syst... |

Aesthetic Qualities of Cross Laminated Timber
https://www.riverpublishers.com/book_details.php?b... [Design/Architectural aspects] [Thesis/Dissertation] 2012 Anne Kirkegaard Bejder The common thread through this thesis is the aim of bringing the aesthetic, poetic and sensuous qualities of materials into focus. This is done with the belief that materials are more than merely the means of construction, i.e. more than a building system. The thesis takes its point of departure in the great importance wood has had as a building material throughout history as a naturally occurring, strong, light and workable construction material with various multi-sensuous qualities and great a... |

Durability of adhesive bonds in cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels manufactured using Irish Sitka spruce
http://www.irishtimber.org/uploads/1/9/2/0/1920947... [Mechanical Performance] [Report] 2014 Karol S Sikora, Annette M Harte, Daniel O Mcpolin The potential use of Irish-grown Sitka spruce for cross-laminated timber (CLT) manufacture is investigated as this would present new opportunities and novel products for Irish timber in the home and export markets. CLT is a prefabricated multi-layer engineered wood product made of at least three orthogonally bonded layers of timber. In order to increase rigidity and stability, successive layers of boards are placed crosswise to form a solid timber panel. Load-bearing CLT wall and floor panels ar... |
