  1. 21. The impact of connection stiffness on the global structural behavior in a CLT building : A combined experimental-numerical study

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Jenny Abrahamsson; Filip la Fleur; [2021]
    Keywords : CLT; Cross Laminated Timber; Connection; Rotational Stiffness; Moment Capacity; Modelling; FEM.;

    Abstract : Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) has in recent years become a more important building material. This means that the demand for accurate calculation methods in building standards such as Eurocode 5 has increased. There is limited knowledge about the connections in CLT buildings which is an important part of a CLT structure. READ MORE

  3. 22. Environmental performance of a cross laminated timber (CLT) building system with a focus on carbon footprint

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggd miljö och energiteknik (BET)

    Author : Nima Esmaeeli; [2021]
    Keywords : Cross laminated timber; carbon footprint; environmental impacts; life cycle assessment;

    Abstract : The global construction industry accounts for more than 30% of the energy consumption and 40% of the carbon dioxide emissions, and roughly 60% of raw material extraction. A cross laminated timber building system is one solution to reduce the construction industry's environmental impact, particularly carbon footprint. READ MORE
