Cross laminated timber panels to strengthen wood floors

Alessandra Gubana

Open publisher page 3 citations

Abstract

Cross laminated timber panels are generally used to build walls and floor slabs of wood houses, but they have interesting mechanical characteristics to be used for strengthening ancient wood floors in restoration interventions. In particular they can be connected to the existing wood beams to have a floor diaphragm effect under seismic actions. In the present paper the first results of a series of tests to determine the panel shear behavior are presented. The experimental data show high shear resistance and huge potential for their use
