A cross-laminated timber (CLT) wall plays a role of resisting shear stress induced by lateral forces as well as resisting vertical load. Due to the press size, CLT panels have a limitation in its size. To minimize the initial investment, some glulam manufactures wanted to make a shear wall element with small-size CLT panels and panel-to-panel...
The aim of this study was to develop a stochastic glued laminated timber (glulam) beam model for predicting glulam bending strength distribution. The developed glulam beam model requires the localized modulus of elasticity (MOE) and lamination tensile strength as input properties. The tensile strength was calculated using a material...
