Some innovative and structurally efficient uses of massive wood panels, such as cross-laminated timber (CLT), will result in hollow structural sections. Light-weight wood construction as well as heavy timber assemblies using dropped ceilings or raised fl...
In recent decades, the wood industry has developed a number of innovative mass timber products. Among others, structural composite lumber (SCL) products, such as parallel strand lumber (PSL), laminated strand lumber (LSL) and laminated veneer lumber (LVL...
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 ...
The objective of this project is to establish fundamental fire performance data for the design and specification of NLT assemblies; this project specially addresses determining FSRs for NLT. The goal of this project is to confirm that NLT...
Fire Resistance Characteristics of Glued Laminated Timber Manufactured from Malaysian Tropical Hardwood Timber (Malagangai): Charring Rate and Fire Classification
This paper reports the investigation on the one-dimensional charring rate of glued laminated timber manufactured from Malaysian Tropical Hardwood namely Malagangai (density, 800 kg/m3). The fire test was conducted at SP Wood Technology in Stockholm in accordance with EN 13381-7:2014 for determination of charring...
The key objective of this study was to evaluate the surface burning characteristics (flame spread rating) of glued-laminated timber (glulam) decking in accordance with CAN/ULC S102 test method [1]. This is part of a test series aimed at evaluating the flame spread rating of mass timber components, such as cross-laminated timber (CLT)...
