Cross-laminated timber engineering : improvement and application

Creator:

Kramer, Anthonie

Abstract:

The development of cross-laminated timber (CLT) panel technology has opened up new opportunities for wood in tall buildings. Several characteristics including seismic performance and speed of construction have raised interest among designers. As CLT gains acceptance in the industry, alternative structural solutions need to be investigated to improve performance of...

Bending property enhancement of wood strand composite using viscoelastic thermal compression

Creator:

Rathi, Vardan M.

Abstract:

The fundamental intent of the study was to develop an innovative wood-strand composite for use in structural applications. Plantation grown, low density, hybrid poplar was used in the study which was found to be appropriate for the underlying Viscoelastic Thermal Compression (VTC) process. Wood modified by this process has high...
