Use of timber as a construction material has entered a period of renaissance since the
development of high-performance engineered wood products, enabling larger and taller …

The growing diffusion of cross-laminated timber structures (CLT) has been accompanied by
extensive research on the peculiar characteristics of this construction system, mainly …

The acoustic modelling of timber constructions is a major concern since wood construction
technology has started to tackle multi-storey buildings. The recent update of the EN ISO …

High-rise wooden buildings are increasing in popularity, and they typically include cross-
laminated timber in the structure. Taller buildings result in higher loads on the junctions …

Timber buildings are recently experiencing a period of great prosperity. Frame structures,
which can be counted among the most ancient construction techniques, saw a strong return …

Abstract Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) has gained an increasing success and widespread
diffusion among wood products. Due to the novelty of the components and the dry …
