Finite Element Analysis of Composite Laminated Timber (CLT)

Proceedings, 2018
In the research for sustainable construction, cross-laminated timber (CLT) has gained popularity and become a widely used engineered timber product. However, there are few numerical studies of the structural behaviour of CLT.

Seismic design and performance evaluation of post‐tensioned CLT shear walls with coupling U‐shaped flexural plates in Canada

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 41, Issue 3, Page 2203-2224, August 2025.
Post‐tensioned cross‐laminated timber (PT‐CLT) walls coupled with U‐shaped flexural plates (UFPs) have proved to be a low‐damage seismic force‐resisting system (SFRS) due to their self‐centering capability and stable energy dissipation. Global efforts have been made to explore the applicability of PT‐CLT walls as primary SFRSs in mass timber buildings.

BRE‐X Emissions Database for End‐of‐Life Scenarios of Selective Building Construction Materials to Enable Circular Economy in Construction

Journal of Advanced Manufacturing and Processing, Volume 7, Issue 3, July 2025.
ABSTRACT In the United States, construction and demolition debris predominately end up in landfills with minimal end‐of‐life Re‐X (recover, recycle, reuse, etc.) scenarios, resulting in large environmental impacts and lost opportunities for material recovery.

Cross-laminated timber (CLT) floor serviceability under multi-person loading: Impact of beam–panel connections

, 2023
Due to the lightweight nature of timber, vibration serviceability is a crucial issue in the design of timber floors. The purpose of this study is to investigate how beam–panel connections affect the vibration serviceability of cross-laminated timber (CLT)

Numerical Investigations of a Large Fire Exposure Crib Test—Presenting Different Pyrolysis Modelling Methodologies and Numerical Results

Fire and Materials, Volume 49, Issue 4, Page 371-387, June 2025.
ABSTRACT The need for numerical‐based approaches to investigate the fire behaviour in buildings with combustible components is growing due to the increasing use of timber by the construction industry to meet the ‘Climate Action Plan 2050’. This requires consideration of the complex kinetic processes that take place during the burning of the wood in the

Outlook for Cross-Laminated Timber in the United States

BioResources, 2014
Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is a building system based on the use of massive, multi-layered solid wood panels. Although CLT as a construction system has been successful in Europe, only a handful of CLT projects have been built in the U.S.
