Strength parameters for fasteners determined in accordance with the methods prescribed for the European CE-marking leads to quite different values for seemingly similar products from different manufactures. The results are hardly repeatable, to some extent due to difficulties in selecting representative on engineered wood products...
The light weight of cross-laminated timber (CLT) products combined with the high level of prefabrication involved, in addition to the need to provide wood-based alternative products and systems to steel and concrete, have significantly contributed to the...
The introduction of Cross-laminated Timber (CLT) as an engineered timber product has played a significant role in the considerable progress of timber construction in recent years. Extensive research has been conducted in Europe and more recently in Canada to evaluate the fastening capacity of different types of fasteners in...
Cross-laminated timber (CLT) products are gaining popularity in the North American market and are being used in midrise wood buildings, in particular, in shearwall applications. Shearwalls provide resistance to lateral loads such as wind and earthquake l...
The 2009 edition of Canadian standard for engineering design in wood (CSA O86) [1] provides two different design equations for wood screws and lag screws, which are, in turn, different from those in the American “National Design Specification for Wood ...
Cross-laminated timber (CLT), which was developed in Europe in the early 1990’s, has a growing success in timber construction. Unfortunately, development of CLT in Canada is lagging behind Europe. Lack of experience and methods for design with CLT is p...
