Abstract: Mass timber floors are prone to human-induced vibration due to their light weight. Vibration serviceability limit design often governs the maximum allowable span of mass timber floors. The current design methods usually ...

Abstract: Industry interest in mass timber hybrid construction is driving research into new connections, lateral load-resistance systems, seismic design, and fire safety design for low-carbon structures. However, only limited attention ...

Abstract: Mass timber panels including cross-laminated timber (CLT), dowel-laminated timber (DLT), and nail-laminated timber (NLT) are used increasingly as floor slabs in mass timber buildings and hybrid timber buildings. The sound ...

Abstract: Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is a mass timber product that has been used increasingly as a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to conventional construction materials such as concrete and steel. Understanding the ...

Abstract: Mass timber panel–concrete composite (MTPCC) floors combine timber and concrete through high-performance connections to create an efficient floor system with high stiffness, high strength, and low self-weight. Previous ...

Abstract: Mass timber panel (MTP)-concrete composite floors are gaining increasing interest from builders and designers due to their optimized structural performance, light self-weight, and aesthetically exposed wood ceilings. Among ...

Abstract: This study summarizes the moisture content (MC) monitoring results of two nail-laminated timber (NLT) bridge decks in New Brunswick, Canada. The MC monitoring systems were installed in the NLT decks of two newly built ...
