  1. 16. Evaluation of a testing method for shear stiffness properties for cross laminated timber

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

    Author : Calle Lind; [2022]
    Keywords : CLT; cross laminated timber; EN 16351; four-point bending; rolling shear modulus; FE-modelling; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Cross laminated timber (CLT) is an engineered wood product that was first developed in the 1990s. Since then it has grown in popularity thanks to its many advantages such as: low environment impact, high degree of prefabrication and low weight. As the material is relatively new the standardization process is still in the early stages. READ MORE

  3. 17. Life cycle analysis and comparison of climate impact for two alternative floor systems for increased weight in high-rise timber buildings

    University essay from KTH/Byggnadsmaterial

    Author : Nir Kedem; [2022]
    Keywords : Life cycle assessment; LCA; Anavitor; Environmental impact; Building materials; Timber; Concrete; Gravel; Adding weight system.;

    Abstract : The aim of this Master Thesis is to investigate and quantify the climate impact for two floor system alternatives for the Cederhusen project, that is the 8 floors timber-based buildings located at Sankt Eriksplan in Stockholm. The overall motivation for this study is the fact that the construction industry is a major contributor to the total amount of the global greenhouse gas emissions. READ MORE

  4. 18. Attenuation of bending waves in cross-laminated timber panels by using constrained damping layer

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Träteknik

    Author : Konrad Boeske; [2021]
    Keywords : Wood technology; damping; CLT; acoustic; low frequencies; AkuTimber;

    Abstract : Multi-storey wooden buildings become more and more popular. As the new housing solutions are more accessible, acoustical inconveniences of wooden buildings become actual as never before. Wood, thanks to its high stiffness and low mass, allows to erect buildings at impressive pace, albeit cannot damp low frequency noises efficiently. READ MORE

  5. 19. CHARACTERISATION OF CROSS LAMINATED TIMBER PROPERTIES

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

    Author : Emil Nilsson; [2021]
    Keywords : CLT; cross laminated timber; in-plane loading; out-of-plane loading; beam; rolling shear modulus; experimental tests; FE-modelling; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This project concerns an analysis of a hitherto untested method for determining the modulus of elasticity (MoE) and shear modulus parallel to grain, as well as the rolling shear modulus of cross laminated timber (CLT) through 3-point bending tests. A review of analytical models and methods is included, followed by an evaluation of the effect of the annual ring orientation and shear stress distribution at shear loading of individual board cross-sections.

  6. 20. 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
