Abstract
FPInnovations carried out a survey with consultants and researchers on the use of analytical models and software packages related to the analysis and design of mass timber buildings. The responses confirmed that a lack of suitable models and related...
The increasing appetite for innovation, performance and sustainability in the Canadian Architecture, Engineering, Construction, Owners and Operators (AECOO) community is leading to the development and deployment of approaches, be they tools, technologies, practices, etc., that are causing a significant shift in the delivery and management of built assets. When deployed...
In Phase I (2018-19) of this project on Prefabricated Heavy Timber Modular Construction, three major types of connections used in a stackable modular building were studied: intramodule connection, inter-module vertical connection, and inter-module horizontal connection. The load requirement and major design criteria were identified...
Prior research showed that inward moisture diffusion from absorptive claddings such as brick veneer, stucco, or manufactured stone veneer can be significant in wood-frame walls. The inward migration of moisture is greatest when the cladding is heated by ...
Firstly, the two-dimensional construction product cross-laminated timber (BSP or XLAM) is described as having regard to its manufacture and its properties. This is followed by the basic principles, the description of the structural behavior, and the fire performance with associated modeling assumptions and characteristic material values according to the safety concept of the Eurocodes...
Cross-laminated timber has conquered new markets since the publication of volume I Basic design and engineering principles according to Eurocode. The present volume II describing Applications provides the designer of timber structures on the one hand with basics for design factors, mechanical properties and modelling with finite element method...
