“Box-type” CLT buildings are realized by connecting CLT panels through dowel-type
fastener and mechanical anchor connections, which govern the lateral behaviour of these …

Cross-laminated timber (CLT) buildings are constructed by connecting CLT panels with
dowel-type fasteners and mechanical anchors, which govern the lateral behavior of these …

This paper presents a numerical and analytical study on single-storey cross-laminated
timber (CLT) shear-walls with openings subjected to lateral loads. The main objective was to …

Abstract Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) structures are realized by joining CLT panels using
metal connections, which represent the main source of deformability for lateral loads and …

CLT platform-type buildings are characterized by a high level of redundancy due to the high
number of connections used in the perimeter of the CLT panels. In this regard, in addition to …

Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) walls are used in CLT buildings to carry both vertical and
horizontal loads. The mechanical behaviour of CLT shear walls for lateral loads is typically …

Typically, the mechanical behavior of CLT shear walls for lateral loads is assumed to be
governed by the wall base connections, such as hold-downs and angle brackets. However …

The use of timber in building construction has recently increased due to the development of
a new timber panel product known as cross laminated timber (CLT, or X-lam). The high …

Use of cross-laminated timber (CLT) as a construction material for floor, wall and roof panels
has increased exponentially over the last few years. Applications include residential and …

Due to the high in-plane stiffness and strength capacity of cross-laminated timber (CLT)
panels, the mechanical behavior of CLT shear walls is mainly influenced by the mechanical …
