The shift from traditional linear support systems, such as post-and-beam frames and shear walls, to point-supported timber floor structures enables more flexible, open-plan layouts. This makes cross-laminated timber (CLT) floor …
The construction industry in the UK and globally creates vast quantities of wood waste. Much of this material has qualities that are lost in normal waste management. For example, recycled …
A parametric finite element analysis is performed to study the possible trade-offs in terms of geometric and material properties of the solid timber panel in order to maintain a high …
Laminated timber products (Gluelam and CLT), are increasingly used as structural building materials. The motivation is often based on the environmental performance of low carbon footprint in manufacturing and indoor …
Moisture safety is as important for CLT envelopes as for any other building envelopes. For wood, mould growth is usually the first criteria for limiting moisture conditions that are too …
The concept of massive wood element or better known as; crossed laminated timber elements (CLT) has developed to be a very robust building material in recent years. In the meantime, …
This project is a part of development of overall work to be finished as Master’s thesis of Technology of Wood and Plastic study program. As Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) is …
Twenty-three finite element models of cross-laminated timber (CLT) with different laminate directions were studied. Simulations with quadratic orthotropic linear elastic finite elements were conducted. One goal was to compare in-plane …
Cross laminated timber (CLT), also known as “Engineered wood” developed initially in Europe (Switzerland) in early 1990s and it is designed mostly for multistorey buildings as load-bearing elements because of …
The air-tightness of the building components (wall, ceiling and roof) is essential in many aspects as indoor climate, noise, energy balance and structural defects.Inadequate air-tightness has as consequences low thermal …
The main objective of the study was to evaluate the impact of edge bonding technology and different initial moisture content (MC) of lamellas to the air-permeability properties of cross laminated …
Wood can be assembled as a bi-layered cross-laminated composite, so called wood bilayers(Rüggeberg and Burgert, 2015). Hereby, the swelling and shrinkage anisotropy enables woodbilayers to act as hygromorphic self-shaping composites …
Wood construction has gained new popularity during the past decades, especially since engineered wood products such as Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) have offered new opportunities in the field of construction. …
Airtightness of building envelope has become an important property of building envelope. The building envelope is locally sensitive to exfiltration airflow, as moisture convection could cause a remarkable increase in …
Hygrothermal materials change their moisture content (MC) dependent on the ambient climate. This material property to absorb and desorb moisture and thereby to moderate the indoor variations in relative humidity …
