The airtightness of a 3-layer CLT element and of element butt joints has been tested to EN 12 114, where it was found that that the volumetric rates of flow were outside the measurable range. Usage classes / usability Usable in usage classes 1 and 2 to EN 1995-1-1
STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS Cross Laminated Timber General information on planning load-bearing structures with CLT Because of the single-layer panels which are bonded alternately at right angles to each other the load is transferred in two axes which was the preserve of reinforced steel structures in the past. The advantage of this is more flexible room design at the planning stage; designs can also be simplified, and lower bare ceiling heights are possible. Although diagonally projecting or point-supported structures require greater planning input, they are perfectly feasible. CLT elements have a particularly high load capacity since the load-bearing width generally extends across the entire element width because of the transverse layers. The high inherent stiffness of CLT also has a positive impact on bracing a building. CLT calculation method The difference from sizing solid timber or glulam lies in the loading of the transverse layers. In a CLT element a load at right angles to the panel plane (e.g. a snow load on a flat roof) generates a shear load in the transverse layers which acts at right angles to the direction of grain. This shear load is termed rolling shear since the wood fibres roll off at right angles in the event of a fracture. As a result of the low shear strength or stiffness of the transverse layer (load at right angles to the grain), the stresses or deformations that occur cannot be ignored. Calculations are carried out in accordance with the lamination theory, taking account of shear distortions. There are now various options for calculating cross-laminated timber; one of these is the theory of flexibly connected layers (also termed the gamma method. The gamma method is the commonest method and is also described in ETA-08/0271. Fastenings Verification of the fastenings is described and regulated in the approvals.
