  1. 1. Effective shear stiffness of cross-laminated timber : Comparison between numerical and analytical approaches

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Therese Badrous; Las Muradi; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The increasing importance of sustainability has led to a focus on smart solutions for energy consumption and materials. Cross-laminated timber (CLT) has gained attention as a sustainable alternative in construction, offering high strength, stiffness, and dimensional stability. READ MORE

  3. 2. Lateral Stabilization of CLT Buildings - Modelling approaches

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Byggnadsmekanik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaper

    Author : Lina Holmqvist; Sanna Källman Gleisner; [2022]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is an environmentally positive building material with high stiffness and load-bearing capacity. In combination with a low self-weight, CLT is a beneficial material to use for the load-bearing structure of high-rise buildings. READ MORE

  4. 3. Structural strengthening and sustainability improvements of existing buildings – A case study

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Pardis Niknafs; [2022]
    Keywords : Building retrofit; structural strengthening; energy efficiency; environmental impact; integrated and sustainable intervention; cross-laminated timber; life cycle assessment;

    Abstract : In Sweden, a large share of residential buildings was built more than 50 years ago. Consequently, old materials, poor maintenance, and corrosion can affect the structural performance of these buildings. Additionally, these buildings do not meet the latest energy efficiency and Eurocode regulations. READ MORE

  5. 4. Modelling and testing of CLT panels for evaluation of stiffness

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Sebastian Svensson Meulmann; Egzon Latifi; [2021]
    Keywords : Cross-laminated timber CLT ; Four-point bending; Bending stiffness; Shear stiffness; Plates; Lamellas;

    Abstract : The use of timber in building structures is steadily increasing. cross laminated timber (CLT) is an engineered wood product made of an uneven number of layers of lamellas glued at an angle of 90 degrees to each other. READ MORE

  6. 5. Shear stiffness of cross laminated timber diaphragms - A study of the influence of connection and member stiffness

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Byggnadsmekanik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaper

    Author : Gustaf Olausson; [2021]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Since ancient times, buildings have been constructed with the use of timber and during the modern era, new types of timber products have been developed. Today, more constructions, especially residential buildings are being built with timber as the main load-bearing material. READ MORE
