Mechanical Properties of Adhesive-Free Cross-Laminated Timber

open access: yesJournal of Structural Engineering, 2022
In order to reduce the use of adhesives, the development of adhesive-free engineered wood products is one of the research focuses in timber structures. This paper studies the mechanical properties of cross-laminated timber beams connected by densified wood (DW) dowels.

SEISMIC DESIGN OF CROSS-LAMINATED TIMBER BUILDINGS

open access: yesWood and Fiber Science, 2018
The increasing interest in cross-laminated timber (CLT) construction has resulted in multiple international research projects and publications covering the manufacturing and performance of CLT. Multiple regions and countries have adopted provisions for CLT into their engineering design standards and building regulations.

Homogenized material properties for cross‐laminated timber

open access: yesPAMM, 2018
AbstractIn this contribution the coefficients of the elastic stiffness tensor of a generalized shell section for cross‐laminated timber (CLT) slabs are derived by application of a numerical homogenization scheme based on a repeating unit cell (RUC).

Very Tall Wooden Buildings with Cross Laminated Timber

open access: yesProcedia Engineering, 2011
AbstractCross Laminated Timber (CLT, XLAM) is a product extremely well suited for multi-storey buildings because of its versatility. With lengths up to 16 meters and the possibility of extending with mechanical joints or glued connections, widths of up to 2.5 meters depending on manufacturer and thicknesses up to 500mm, almost any necessary shape can ...
