A research project was undertaken to investigate the behaviour of composite CLT slabs with glulam downstands cut back from the supports. A desk study and Finite Element Modelling (FEM) were used and evaluated on their ability to model and design such a structure, focusing on the cut back location and utilising reinforcement screws...
The outcome of an experimental campaign on the long-term behaviour of timber floors retrofitted with timber-to-timber composite methods is presented. Four diaphragm specimens, 5.2 m long (5 m span) were tested out-ofplane. Each specimen consisted of a solid wood-spruce joist strengthened with a crosslam panel. A layer of timber boards...
Approximately 60% of all joints in solid timber structures assembled with Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) are realised with screws. Although, the behaviour of axially loaded self-tapping single screws is already well known, only minor experiences are availa...
