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 ...

Robustness of Tall Timber Buildings

open access: yes, 2021
When designing any building, is it easy to think that damage scenarios such as column loss are too rare to explicitly design for. This, along with several other biases of our brains, make us unable to ensure structural safety by explicitly designing for accidental scenarios, thus making structural robustness – the ability to withstand an unforeseen ...
