Abstract Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) structures exhibit satisfactory performance under
seismic conditions. This is possible because of the high strength-to-weight ratio and in-plane …

This paper discusses the design principles of timber connections for ductility with focus on
laterally-loaded dowel-type fasteners. Timber connections are critical components of timber …

Cross-laminated timber (CLT) buildings are recognized as a robust alternative to
heavyweight constructions, because beneficial for seismic resistance and environmental …

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 increasing interest in cross-laminated timber (CLT) construction has resulted in multiple
international research projects and publications covering the manufacturing and …

Besides platform-type construction method, a rarely investigated balloon-type method, in
which the walls are continuous for the entire height of the building and the floor panels are …

Numerous countries across the globe have witnessed the recent decades' trend of multi-
storey timber buildings on the rise, owing to advances in engineering sciences and timber …

As a sustainable alternative to steel and concrete, cross laminated timber (CLT) shear wall
systems are getting increasingly popular in mid-rise and high-rise construction, and that …

Traditional connections in earthquake-resistant cross-laminated timber buildings are
susceptible of brittle failures, even when buildings are designed and supposed to be ductile …

An experimental testing programme on an innovative metal angle bracket for Cross-
Laminated Timber structures is presented in this paper. The main novelty of the angle …
