Understanding Durability - The Canadian Wood Council - CWC : The Canadian Wood C
http://cwc.ca/design-tools/effective-r-calculator/... [Moisture/Durability] [Web Page] 2019 Canadian Wood Council Most building envelope / building enclosure failures can be traced back to water. If we can learn to manage (rather than control) water in the building envelope/enclosure, we will have learned how to master an essential component of building science. We have deliberately chosen the term “manage” since it implies using the laws of nature to our advantage rather than attempting to conquer nature by brute force. Attempts to control water movement by face sealing walls, for example, require perfect ... |

Repair and Strengthening of Traditional Timber Roof and Floor Structures
https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-981-... [Other] [Journal Article] 2017 Jorge M. Branco, Thierry Descamps, Eleftheria Tsakanika In many countries, traditional buildings comprise timber roof and floor structures. Most of these structures are degraded from different causes and need to be repaired or strengthened to ensure current and/or to fulfil the requirements of a new use of the building. Current knowledge assumes the need to preserve and to protect existing timber structural systems as a cultural value, with important advantages to the overall behaviour of the building. This growing sensibility towards the preservatio... |

Seismic analysis of multi-storey timber buildings braced with a CLT core and perimeter shear-walls
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10518-0... [Seismic Performance] [Journal Article] 2019 Andrea Polastri, Matteo Izzi, Luca Pozza, Cristiano Loss, Ian Smith The seismic behaviour of multi-storey heavy-frame timber building superstructures braced by Cross-Laminated-Timber (CLT) shear-walls is investigated based on numerical linear dynamic simulations. All systems analysed have the same rectangular plan footprint dimensions, type of framework and shear-walls arrangement at each storey. For structural efficiency, the layout of lateral load-resisting systems combines a central building core with partial length perimeter shear-walls. What differs between... |

Sound radiation of cross-laminated timber panels based on a higher order plate theory
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/... [Vibration/Acoustic Performance] [Journal Article] 2019 Thomas Furtmüller, Christoph Adam In this contribution, the problem of sound radiation by a rectangular baffled cross-laminated timber (CLT) plate excited by a point force is addressed. Due to the inherent properties of CLT, a higher order shear deformable plate theory is needed to capture its deformation field. To this end, a recently proposed equivalent single layer plate theory is extended to incorporate dynamic effects. The derived plate model is applied to flexural wave propagation in infinitely extended plates, revealing c... |

Butt-joint bonding of timber as a key technology for point-supported, biaxial load bearing flat slabs made of cross-laminated timber
https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1755-13... [Mechanical Performance] [Journal Article] 2019 S. Zoellig, M. Muster, A. Themess An efficient butt-joint bonding technology allows to build new types of timber structures. Under the name Timber Structures 3.0 a connection has been developed which connects timber elements with an end-grain to end-grain butt joint bonding. Therefore, it is now possible to build continuous, point supported flat slabs in cross laminated timber (CLT). Multiple CLT slabs are connected rigidly together and are only supported by columns. Some major challenges had to be solved in terms of bending str... |
