Mass timber panels are frequently utilized as load-bearing components in the construction of floors, walls, and roofs within mid-rise or high-rise wooden buildings. In comparison to other building materials like concrete and steel, floors…

Rapid urbanization has led to an increasing demand for sustainable living and working spaces. In response, renewable materials like wood, especially in the form of Cross-laminated timber (CLT), have gained traction due to their sustainability, cost-…

Timber construction is a sustainable solution to address the increasing global demand for housing. Timber framing currently uses mostly mechanical fasteners, which are made from metals with high carbon footprint, and – depending on the type of…

The widespread availability of Cross-laminated timber (CLT) provides opportunities to extend the use of wood beyond traditional low-rise residential construction. Although previous studies have shown that ground motion duration impacts the collapse…

Cross-laminated timber (CLT)-concrete composite (CLTCC) floors have gained popularity in recent years due to their advantages over pure wood floors. They offer a high loadcarrying capacity, increased stiffness, improved fire resistance, vibration…

Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is becoming a feasible alternative as structural material for midand high-rise buildings. Although CLT walls are appropriate for resisting lateral loads from wind and earthquakes, the current provisions in the Canadian…
