Abstract: Cross laminated timber has entered the building industry as an alternative to reinforced concrete with interest for employing them in buildings in high seismic regions because they are lightweight.It is envisaged simplified methods have limitations in predicting design level demands on CLT systems due to the complexities and challenges associated with the material.The objective of this work is assessing the efficiency of proposed analytical methods in predicting the fundamental period (T1) of building superstructures made of CLT.This is because T1 is the basis for the equivalent lateral force method in seismic analysis of buildings.The assessment is conducted by comparing predictions from verified numerical modal models with estimates from available empirical formulas.Suggestions are made for the minimum requirements for assessing CLT buildings under dynamic loads.
