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

Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Construction Materials, 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 means that, as cross-laminated timber is used for taller buildings still, their dynamic movement ...

Biomass‐derived hydrochars as eco‐friendly adsorbents for wastewater treatment applications

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract Emerging organic pollutants (EOPs), such as diethyl phthalate (DEP), bisphenol A (BPA), and methylene blue (MB), are only partially removed in conventional wastewater treatment plants. This study assesses hydrochars produced by hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) of spruce bark (SB), vine shoots (VSs), and wheat straw (WSs) for removing three ...

Global land and carbon consequences of mass timber products

Nature Communications
Mass timber products can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by replacing steel and cement. However, the increase in wood demand raises wood prices, and the environmental consequences of these market changes are unclear. Here we investigate the global carbon

Self-extinguishment of cross-laminated timber

Fire Safety Journal, 2019
Abstract Cross-laminated timber, or CLT, is receiving attention for its potential application in tall building structures. As a combustible material, one of the main challenges for the construction of these buildings is the fire risk that results from its use in the structure.

Effects of Wall‐to‐Floor Interactions on Seismic Response of Platform‐Type CLT Buildings

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Platform‐type cross‐laminated timber (CLT) buildings feature discontinuous wall segments supported by CLT floors. In practice, CLT floors are often treated as rigid diaphragm, yet the wall‐to‐floor interactions (WFIs) associated with flexibility of floors remain insufficiently investigated during seismic performance assessment.

Mechanical Behaviour of Vacuum‐Infused GFRP Composites at Elevated Temperatures—Influence of Fibre Architecture

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study addresses the influence of fibre architecture on the mechanical properties of vacuum‐infused glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites at elevated temperatures (ET). Laminates with three different fibre configurations—unidirectional (UD), bidirectional 0°/90° cross‐ply (BD), and ±45° off‐axis angle‐ply (OA) – were tested in ...

Char Layer Thickness Evolution During Structural Timber Fire Experiment and Final Density Profile

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper evaluates several non‐destructive experimental methods for determining the char layer thickness and its density profile in structural timber samples exposed to standard ISO 834 fire curve experiments. Microwave echo pulse, ultrasonic echo pulse, X‐ray computed tomography, and resistance drilling were evaluated.

Influence of technical characteristics on the rolling shear properties of cross laminated timber by modified planar shear tests

Maderas: Ciencia y Tecnología, 2018
Rolling shear properties of cross laminated timber are important mechanical properties for its structural application. To evaluate the influence of technical characteristics such as edge-gluing and gap size in the cross layers, on the measurement of ...

Interaction between acoustics and structural engineering in cross laminated timber buildings

, 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.
