CROSS LAMINATED TIMBER (CLT)AND THE AUSTRIAN PRACTICE
Educational Materials for Designing andTesting of Timber Structures – TEMTIS
SeminarHorsens / Denmark, 11th September 2008

Cross Laminated Timber – Basic idea and Product
Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) - ElementC om posite of longitudinal and transversalsingle layers
Length o f the e lem ent (due to production restrictions) up to 16.5 m
w ith genera l finger-jo in ts due to transportation restrictions up to 30 m possib le
W idth of the e lem ent (due to production restrictions) approx. 3 m
due to transport and assem bling restrictions up to 4 .8 m possib le
Thickness of the e lem ent: 42 m m - 500 m m
G luing of the w hole singlelayer w ith an approvedadhesive
Longitudina l layers usually C 24 or C 30
Transversal layers usually C 16 (up to C 30)>
Tensile strength, tensileM O E and density areincreasing in genera lfrom the p ith to the outerside of the log
Utilisation ofboards from theouter side of thelog (’s ide boards’)
Distribution of mechanical propertiesin the log
5-layered CLT-element
Utilisation of side-boards
4
CLT –Production volume
Production volume:
2008 About 400.000 m³ (+52 %)
→ To high amount for the market
→ Price will decrease (about 20 % in the next three years)
Source: Timber Online / 2007
Arguments PRO CLT:
→ Massive construction, less layers in theconstruction, buffer for heat and moisture
→ High degree of prefabrication possible
→ Easy assembling and short duration for erection
→ Flexibility of utilisation
Arguments CONTRA CLT:
→ High price

Verification of stresses on each single layer:
kmkt ff ,,0, 6,0 in accord. with EN 338D
→ This procedere leads to conservative results because no “homogenisation effects“ are considered !
→ The development of an European standard is initiated by the Austrian Standardisation Organisation (ON).
