Use of Cross laminated timber with two concrete examples" is my Final Project of Grade. This project summarizes the most common timber systems used over time. It studies thoroughly the wood product "Cross laminated timber", which is a relatively new wood product that was first introduced in the 1990's in Austria and has gained popularity in residential and non-residential buildings in many European countries and around the world in the recent past. Two specific projects of two existing single-family houses are designed with CLT solid wood panels. This paper is divided into three parts: In the first part an overview of the construction systems in timber construction is given. The systems are introduced, their characteristics and loadbearing performance are explained in a superficial way. The second part deals with Cross laminated timber. In this chapter, an extensive study of this wood system is carried out. X-LAM, its abbreviation, is introduced in many general aspects as a product. All the specific and technic information which is shown is, in particular, form the Austrian firm "KLH Massivholz Gmbh", which I had the pleasure and honour to visit. And in the final third part, two projects of two single-family houses are shown. Starting from a basic plan of the house, which have been obtained from two architects with which I'm truly grateful for their help, X-LAM system is used to design the house. Floor plans, sections, details and concrete component connections are designed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains papers presented at the 1st International Conference on Timber Structures, which was held in collaboration with the Technical Centre of Wood Industry in Belgium. It explores the latest developments in wood products and their application as structural components. The focus of the included works is to draw attention to new research and real applications from both researchers and practitioners, and to present new and innovative ideas in this significant field. Rapid advances have recently been made in the development and processing of innovative ecologically friendly wood products. A variation of new structural shapes can now be fabricated and used to construct buildings and bridges which have minimal impact on the environment. Wood is particularly appealing since it is renewable and has no carbon footprint when it is harvested in a sustainable way. Timber structures are ecologically sound and comparatively low cost. The material lends itself to ground-breaking designs and new types of composites offer reliable, robust and safe materials. The content of this book comprises a range of topics: Material properties of wood; Durability aspects, service life modelling; Fire safety of timber structures; Protection against decay; Non-destructive inspection and monitoring; Glued, laminated structures, Xlam and CLT; Timber joints and connections; Vernacular wood and heritage timber structures; Timber housing and eco-architecture; Timber bridges; Large span timber roof structures; Shell structures in timber; Mixed, composite and hybrid structures; Computational analysis and experimental methods; Structural engineering and design; Seismic behaviour of timber structures; Protection of timber; Repaired timber structures; Rapidly assembled and transferable timber structures; Guidelines, codes and regulations; Structural failures; Art and craftsmanship.

Book excerpt: Developed in Europe in the early 1990's, cross-laminated timber (CLT) is beginning to make its way into the North American building construction market. Similar to other types of engineered wood products, such as Glulam, CLT is an efficient and economical way to use natural wood resources. This report introduces the product with its structural characteristics, advantages and disadvantages, manufacturing, and construction. ANSI/APA PRG 320 Standard for Performance-Rated Cross-Laminated Timber published by APA - The Engineered Wood Association is the manufacturing standard for CLT in the United States. Manufacturers will supply reference design values for design engineers to check the strength of CLT members. Methods used to determine reference design values include experimental and analytical studies. CLT has many benefits in construction but also has challenges due to architects', engineers', and contractors' unfamiliarity with the product. A few projects have been built using CLT in the United States including a building at Oregon State University and one at the University of Arkansas.
Download or read book Cross laminated Timber Engineering written by Anthonie Kramer and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of cross-laminated timber (CLT) panel technology has opened up new opportunities for wood in tall buildings. Several characteristics including seismic performance and speed of construction have raised interest among designers. As CLT gains acceptance in the industry, alternative structural solutions need to be investigated to improve performance of CLT as a building material. The first study presented is an assessment of the viability of hybrid poplar for use in CLT panels. Hybrid poplar is a low density species, which is not typically considered for structural applications. Low density species have the potential to improve the structural efficiency of CLT panels. The tests conducted are based on the qualification of panels outlined in the ANSI/APA PRG-320: Standard for Performance-Rated Cross-Laminated Timber to determine the structural viability of the CLT panels. The second study presented is an investigation of a new alternative energy dissipation solution to be used with cross-laminated timber rocking walls for seismic design. The energy dissipators are designed as a structural fuse which can be easily replaced after failure following a large seismic event. The results of this study give insight to alternative solutions for CLT to improve upon current applications.

This book was released on 2013-09-25 with total page 815 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains the contributions from the RILEM International Symposium on Materials and Joints in Timber Structures that was held in Stuttgart, Germany from October 8 to 10, 2013. It covers recent developments in the materials and the joints used in modern timber structures. Regarding basic wooden materials, the contributions highlight the widened spectrum of products comprising cross-laminated timber, glulam and LVL from hardwoods and block glued elements. Timber concrete compounds, cement bonded wood composites and innovative light-weight constructions represent increasingly employed alternatives for floors, bridges and facades. With regard to jointing technologies, considerable advances in both mechanical connections and glued joints are presented. Self-tapping screws have created unprecedented options for reliable, strong as well as ductile joints and reinforcement technologies. Regarding adhesives, which constitute the basis of the jointing/laminating technology of modern timber products, extended options for tailor-made bonding solutions have to be stated. Apart from melamine-urea and phenolic-resorcinol adhesives, one-component-polyurethanes, emulsion isocyanate polymers and epoxies offer a wide range of possibilities. The contributions dealing with experimental and numerical investigations on static, cyclic and seismic behavior of structures clearly reveal the enhanced potential of modern timber construction for reliable and sustainable buildings and bridges of the new millennium. The book is structured in nine thematic areas, being I) Structures II) Mechanical Connections III) Glued Joints and Adhesives IV) Timber and Concrete/Cement/Polymer Composites V) Cyclic, Seismic Behavior VI) Hardwood, Modified Wood and Bamboo VII) Cross-Laminated Timber VIII) Properties and Testing of Wood IX) Glulam

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wood is usually perceived as a "traditional" material. However, the properties of this material have now for some time made it possible to design free shapes and highly complex structures. Today, the wood laboratory of the EPF Lausanne, which was originally founded by Julius Natterer, is testing the production of origami structures, ribbed shells, fabric structures and curved panels under the guidance of Professor Weinand using digital calculation and computer-aided processing methods. The research results are tested in prototypes, which demonstrate the potential applications in large-scale timber buildings. By exploring the hitherto unused potential of wood as a construction material, this book provides an exciting and inspiring outlook on a new generation of timber buildings.
