State of the Art of the Structural Behavior of Cross Laminated Timber by Finite Element Method

Abstract

In search of sustainable development, engineered wood is an alternative for the Brazilian construction sector. The focus of the study is on Cross Laminated Timber (CLT), a panel composed of layers of structurally bonded lamellae that forms a rigid and self-supporting structural element, which is used as a wall, floor slab and roof slab.
