Hollow glulam beam has some advantages that the traditional solid glulam beam does not have, such as the convenience for wiring construction and comparably light weight. Four-point bending tests of three solid glulam beams and 15 hollow glulam beams with various sizes of rectangular holes produced from small-diameter...
This paper deals with the behaviour of CLT composite T-beams composed of a Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) acting as panel attached to a Glulam (GL) girder. The paper investigates the effect of the configuration of the CLT panel and GL beam on the effective flange width of the CLT composite T-beams. When the CLT composite T-beams are...
Wood has long been in demand as a competent building material due to its beauty, economy, and ease of construction. Excellent material properties are exhibited by a number of new engineered wood products such as gluedlaminated (Glulam) and cross-laminate...
