Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Clt Panels With Different Orientations of Transverse Layers
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: This paper presents an experimental and numerical investigation of two configurations of panels made of locally produced cross-laminated timber (CLT) with different orientations of laminations (boards) within transverse layers - conventional and modified orientation. Modified orientation refers to laminations of transverse layers positioned at an angle of ±45° in relation to longitudinal layers. The expected advantages of modified CLT are improved mechanical performance, more efficient use of resources considering material properties, reduction in variability of characteristics within the panels and increase in shear resistance. In addition to experimental testing, numerical analysis based on finite element method was performed and successfully validated in order to serve as a more efficient tool for CLT panel investigation and optimization.
