To evaluate the mechanical performance of the cross laminated timber (CLT) as the structural board materials using domestic species, the delamination test and the transverse bending test were conducted. The CLT used in the tests consisted of 3 layers of laminated timber made of Japanese larch and Korean red pine. The combinations for...
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...
