In this contribution bending and shear tests of cross laminated timber (CLT) plates under concentrated loads are presented. The so loaded structural members can fail either due to punching along a critical perimeter line in the vicinity of the concentrated load or in bending. Two test configurations were developed and investigated by linear...
Introduction of Concentrated Loads in CLT Wall Elements Parallel to Plane – Analytical Model for the Determination of Stresses and Simplification for Practice
In this paper a proposal for the computation of stresses into orthotropic panels (e.g. CLT wall elements) caused by concentrated local load introduction in plane is derived on the basis of linear elastic mechanics. In practice the concept of effective width is often applied for the approximate determination of stresses. On the basis of the elastic...
Cross laminated Timber (CLT) is commonly used as load-carrying, planar structural element for roofs, floors and walls. Most frequently it can be seen as beam-like structural element. Due to their high geometrical slenderness (h/ttot), the stability of CLT elements used as wall-shaped beam over a long span has to be taken into...
In this contribution a proposal for a twisting strength model for the design of cross-laminated timber (CLT) is given. Furthermore appropriate test configurations to verify the theoretically known twisting stiffness and to determine the twisting strength of CLT are shown.
