This paper contains the research results of a study related to developing an approach to estimate the deflection of Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) shear walls for platform-framed construction. In order to account for the total deflection at the top of the wall, the contributions of connections and the CLT panels are considered. The connection contributions are accounted for through wall sliding and rocking, whereas the contribution of the CLT panels is estimated from the bending and shear deformation under lateral loading. The influence of perpendicular walls and floors above on the in-plane deflection of CLT shear wall is also investigated. A step by step procedure to estimate the deflection of CLT shear walls without and with perpendicular walls and floors above is discussed with examples.
