Abstract
With a growing interest in using timber as a structural material for tall buildings in response to trends in sustainable design, several timber buildings between 7 and 10 stories have been built in Europe and Australia. However, in the United States, timber buildings are still limited to 6 or fewer stories...
Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is a promising wood-based structural component and has potential to provide cost-effective building solution for residential, commercial and institutional buildings as well as large industrial facilities. Market acceptance of...
Cross-laminated timber (CLT), a relatively new building system of interest in the North American construction sector, is helping to define a new class of massive timber products. CLT is a promising wood-based structural component and has great potential ...
