Abstract

Cross laminated timber is an innovative plate-shaped product presenting a laminated structure and excellent physicomechanical properties. Due to its high stiffness and in-plane and out-of-plane bearing capacity, it is most often used in form of wall or floor panels. Favourable environmental, aesthetic and energy properties further enhance its qualities. The paper is a summary of CLT research conducted so far, with an emphasis on the need to harmonise existing regulations and include this product in the European standard for timber structures Eurocode 5.
