Cross Laminated Timber – Properties and Use for Building Purposes: A Review From the Experience of Swiss Researchers

An overview on the mechanical and physicalproperties of cross laminated timber (solid woodpanels) in the building industry and its use in timberconstruction is presented. Structure-propertyrelations for solid wood based materials arediscussed. Important properties, such as strength,sorption, diffusi...

description An overview on the mechanical and physicalproperties of cross laminated timber (solid woodpanels) in the building industry and its use in timberconstruction is presented. Structure-propertyrelations for solid wood based materials arediscussed. Important properties, such as strength,sorption, diffusion, thermal conductivity in relation tothe board structure are presented. By varying thestructure, the properties can be optimized over awide range. The focus of this publication lies onexperimental works performed by Swiss researchersat the ETH Zürich.
