NON-DESTRUCTIVE ASSESSMENT OF GLUING IN CROSS-LAMINATED TIMBER PANELS [PDF]

open access: yesWIT Transactions on Ecology and the Environment, 2017
Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) panels are wooden structural products consisting of finger jointed boards glued together and arranged in orthogonal layers. The lamination process reduces the scatter of the board properties so that minor strength reducing features such as knots and other defects are dispersed in the product. CLT panels have very high axial

Sustainable Utilization and Fire Protection of Wood‐Based Composites in Buildings: Innovations, Challenges, and Future Directions

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The increasing use of wood and wood‐based composites in construction reflects a global shift toward renewable materials that support sustainable development objectives, including carbon reduction and responsible resource use. While wood offers substantial environmental benefits compared to conventional materials such as concrete and steel, its

Interaction between acoustics and structural engineering in cross laminated timber buildings

open access: yes, 2021
The structural and the acoustical design of timber buildings are closely intertwined, as often design criteria conceptually lead to potential conflicts. Connections represent a key contact points between the two fields of engineering.

“Seismic behaviour of cross-laminated timber buildings: numerical modelling and design provisions.”

open access: yes, 2013
The paper discusses the numerical modelling of Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) buildings subjected to seismic actions. After pointing out some important features of a correct modelling, which include the need for a proper schematization of the connection ...

Cross-laminated timber (CLT) – a state of the art report

open access: yesGrađevinar, 2018
Cross laminated timber is an innovative plate-shaped product presenting a laminated structure and excellent physicomechanical properties. Due to its high stiffness and in-plane and out-of-plane bearing capacity, it is most often used in form of wall or ...

Improving durability of cross laminated timber (CLT) with borate treatment

open access: yesJournal of Wood Science, 2022
Borate solution was used to treat two sets of Douglas-fir wood samples, one by spraying cross-laminated timbers (CLT) and another set by dip-treating wood in solutions at different retentions.

The Role of Awareness in Sustainable Construction Materials Uptake in Developing Economies: Evidence From Nigeria

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainable Construction Materials (SCM) are crucial for reducing lifecycle emissions in the built environment, yet their adoption remains limited in many developing economies, such as Nigeria. This study investigates how awareness influences the adoption of SCM among professionals in Nigeria's Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC)
