Cross laminated timber for urban buildings
https://greenbuildingelements.com/2014/11/21/cross... [Design/Architectural aspects] [Magazine/Newspaper Article] 2014 Stephen Hanley Architect Michael Green of Vancouver is a strong advocate for using engineered wood products like cross laminated timber (CLT) to construct medium to high rise buildings. He says wood sequesters carbon dioxide from the atmosphere – about 1 ton of CO2 per cubic meter – and holds it captive during its entire lifetime, even when used as a building material. His signature building is the Wood Innovation Design Centre (WIDC), shown in the video above, in Prince George, British Columbia which is 6 st... |

[Design/Architectural aspects] [Magazine/Newspaper Article] 2018 R Palma A primary goal for U.S. advocates of cross-laminated timber, including those at the UW, is educating the broader community and training the next generation of those who design, create and make buildings. Education and collaboration are the next steps to making more people aware of CLT and its incredible advantages. Currently, there are two UW proposals to establish centers for CLT research and education—a Center for Wood Innovation and the Center for Innovative Wood Products. Their UW studios h... |

Britt Peters and Associates | Cross Laminated Timber Design
http://www.brittpeters.com/Cross-Laminated-Timber-... [Markets] [Report] 2018 Britt Peters Cross Laminated Timber, or CLT, much like plywood, is composed of many layers of wood glued together so that the strength of the grain is oriented in perpendicular directions. This process gives CLT many of its beneficial properties along with the ability to be panelized. The wooden layers of CLT are made up of kiln-dried sawn lumber of various thicknesses, but are typically 1.375” thick in the United States (because planed 2x lumber is the easiest to use). Typically, CLT is made of an odd numb... |

Cross-Laminated Timber Structural Floor and Roof Design
http://www.structuremag.org/wp-content/uploads/201... [Vibration/Acoustic Performance] [Magazine/Newspaper Article] 2016 Scott Breneman Increased availability of cross-laminated timber (CLT) in North America, combined with successful use in projects worldwide, has generated interest in its properties and performance within the U.S. design community. With the inclusion of CLT in the 2015 International Building Code (IBC) and 2015 National Design Specification® (NDS®) for Wood Construction, curiosity is evolving, with some developers, architects and structural engineers using CLT in projects. One application under frequent co... |

Barriers to the design and use of cross-laminated timber structures in high-rise multi-family housing in the United States
http://web.pdx.edu/%7Ecgriffin/research/jschmidt_c... [Design/Architectural aspects] [Report] J. Schmidt, C.T. Griffin ABSTRACT: 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 systems to low-rise bui... |

[Design/Architectural aspects] [Magazine/Newspaper Article] 2017 internationaltimber.com We’ve all been rooting for the popular-growing cross-laminated timber (CLT), and 2017 looks like it’s the year that the timber product places itself firmly in the market as a leading construction material. Here, we’re going to take an in-depth look at CLT and find out just how and why CLT, in the words of one architect, has prompted a revolution in housing construction. However this doesn’t mean that we’re behind in the trend – Hackney alone has 23 buildings made largely of CLT, whilst the Fina... |

Cross Laminated Timber – Alberta Hardwood Flooring

[Markets] [Web Page] 2014 albertahardwood.com It’s been called “plywood on steroids” and it may end up revolutionizing the way high-rise buildings are constructed (Risen, popsci.com, 2014). Cross laminated timber (CLT) is manufactured by “placing layers of parallel beams atop one another perpendicularly, then gluing them together to create material with steel-like strength” (Risen, 2014). So rather than the typical wood product that’s strong only in the direction of the grain, the cross laminated wood product is strong in both directions, ... |

[Design/Architectural aspects] [Report] Peter Mestek Dipl Heinrich Kreuzinger Stefan Winter 1 2 This paper is focused on calculation and design methods for Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) elements. The influence of the shear deformation of the cross layers and the resulting consequences to the load bearing behaviour is explained. The main focus lies in the stresses caused by concentrated loads. Normal and shear stress distribution in the area of a concentrated load is calculated and evaluated for uniaxial spanned systems according to the shear analogy and by an FEM-calculation with shell elem... |

[Mechanical Performance] [Conference Paper] 2014 Sylvain Gagnon, Mohammad Mohammad, Williams Munoz, Marjan Popovski Several analytical and empirical methods have been developed and adopted in Europe for the determination of shear and bending properties of Cross-laminated Timber (CLT) elements loaded out-of-plane and in-plane. However, proposed evaluation methods for determining in-plane shear strength in CLT elements acting as deep beam or lintels need to be verified on Canadian CLT products. This paper presents results from recent testing program following established ASTM standard methods for evaluating the... |
