The possibility of using CLT elements in mass multi-storey housing construction

Today in the mass apartment housing are increasingly used load-bearing structures made of cross-glued wood - CLT-elements. In this regard, the purpose of this study is to consider the peculiarities of design using CLT panels, identifying a number of advantages and possible disadvantages of these structures. Also, the study identified the need to analyze the implemented design solutions and finding their design, volume-planning and other features. The key aspects have been revealed, the advantages of using CLT elements in construction have been determined. The economic component of this issue is calculated taking into account the preservation of the aesthetic benefits of volumetric and spatial solutions. Established as a result of the analysis characteristics of buildings showed the possibility of applying the various identified methods in the Russian realities in terms of their economic feasibility.
