Ambient vibration tests of a cross-laminated timber building [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Cross-laminated timber has, in the last 6 years, been used for the first time to form shear walls and cores in multi-storey buildings of seven storeys or more. Such buildings can have low mass in comparison to conventional structural forms. This low mass

Measuring-up in timber: A critical perspective on mid-and high-rise timber building design [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Architects, engineers and researchers alike often cite practical reasons for building with wood. Since the development of curved glulam beams and columns over a century ago, the widespread use of massive structural timber elements has allowed architects ...

Evaluating Timoshenko Method for Analyzing CLT under Out-of-Plane Loading

open access: yesBuildings, 2020
Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is an engineered wood product made up of layers of structurally graded timber, where subsequent layers are oriented orthogonally to each other.

Seismic resistance of existing buildings with added light timber structure storeys

open access: yesGrađevinar, 2022
In the presented paper, the problem of vertical expansions is treated in terms of seismic resistance of structures with added storeys. A large parametric study has been performed, confirming the impact of different number of added storeys, and the change

Relationship of structure and stiffness in laminated bamboo composites [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Laminated bamboo in structural applications has the potential to change the way buildings are constructed. The fibrous microstructure of bamboo can be modelled as a fibre-reinforced composite.

Vibrational Modal Frequencies and Shapes of Two-Span Continuous Timber Flooring Systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Based on classic vibrational bending theory on beams, this paper provides comprehensive analytical formulae for dynamic characteristics of two equal span continuous timber flooring systems, including frequency equations, modal frequencies, and modal ...

In-plane stiffness of traditional timber floors strengthened with CLT [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Five full-scale timber floors were tested in order to analyze the in-plane behaviour of these structural systems. The main objective was to assess the effectiveness of the in-plane strengthening using cross laminated timber (CLT).

Reliability analysis of a glulam beam [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The present case study is an example of the use of reliability analysis to asses the failure probability of a tapered glulam beam. This beam is part of a true structure built for a super market in the town of Kokemaki in Finland. The reliability analysis

Numerical simulation study and damage analysis of cross laminated timber connections

open access: yes工程科学学报, 2016
Due to structural redundancy,strong energy absorption and energy dissipation capacity of nail joints,wood buildings behave good seismic performance in earthquakes. Cross laminated timber is a new generation of engineered wood-based product.
