The potential use of mass timber in mid-to high-rise construction and the associated carbon benefits in the United States. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Nonresidential and mid- to high-rise multifamily residential structures in the United States currently use little wood per unit floor area installed, because earlier building codes lacked provisions for structural wood use in those types of buildings ...

Global land and carbon consequences of mass timber products [PDF]

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

Wind-induced vibration serviceability of ten multi-storey timber buildings [PDF]

Open Research Europe
Multi-storey timber buildings are prone to wind-induced vibrations, especially due to their lightweight nature, which can lead to occupant discomfort. Vibration serviceability may be a critical design criterion for such structures.

An Accurate Finite Element Model to Study the Progressive Collapse of Post-and-Beam Mass Timber Buildings [PDF]

, 2023
The structural behaviour of mass timber buildings under the removal of a load bearing element is complex. To well understand this phenomenon and ultimately develop scientifically based design guidelines against progressive collapse for this type of ...

Mass Timber

, 2020
The goal of this project was to research and evaluate the usage of mass timber in structures. An 8-story residential building was designed and analyzed by remodeling a 5-story residential/commercial building.

Structural and Design Values of Solid Timber Beams and Glued Laminated Timber Beams of Dipteryx panamensis and Hieronyma alchorneoides Wood from Fast-Growth Plantation

Drvna Industrija, 2023
Dipteryx panamensis and Hieronyma alchorneoides are two species of high specific gravity used in reforestation programs in Costa Rica, but they lack products with structural value for commercialization. In order to introduce the wood of these two species

Case study houses 2.0 : Mass-customised multi-storey timber buildnings : Competitive high-rise timber structures from an architectural and engineering point of view

, 2012
The authors present a rule-based system that applies to the architecture of innovative tall timber buildings, and provide examples of interesting multi-storey timber buildings that can be constructed through the application of those rules.

Design uncertainty in long span mass timber floors: proposed band-beam solution [PDF]

The low relative density of timber compared to other building materials (concrete and steel) increases its sensitivity to low frequency footfall vibrations.

Numerical Modeling of Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) Shear Wall Structures: Review and Assessment

Infrastructures
Recent revisions to the International Building Code (IBC 2021) have allowed high-rise mass timber shear wall structures up to 18 stories and 270 feet, reflecting the growing popularity and wide recognition of the advantages of mass timber construction ...
