A rolling shear analysis-based method for determining the apparent stiffness and bending capacity of CLT panel under out-of-plane load

Abstract Most of the currently employed methods, such as Gamma method and shear analogy method, to estimate the bending stiffness and bending capacity of cross-laminated timber (CLT) beams, are computationally extensive. In our previous study, a rolling shear analysis (RSA)-based method, which simpl...

description Abstract Most of the currently employed methods, such as Gamma method and shear analogy method, to estimate the bending stiffness and bending capacity of cross-laminated timber (CLT) beams, are computationally extensive. In our previous study, a rolling shear analysis (RSA)-based method, which simplifies the calculation, was developed to determine the shearing capacity of CLT beams. In the present study, the authors expand upon the RSA method to determine the apparent stiffness and bending capacity of 3- and 5-layer CLT beams. By considering the shear deformation of cross layers, simplified formulas to determine the apparent bending stiffness of CLT beam was derived. Two schemes to determine the CLT bending capacity were proposed. One is based on the shear stress analysis, and the other is based on the formula specified in Canadian standard, CSA O86, by replacing the effective stiffness with the apparent stiffness. Test results from the authors and the other researchers were adopted to validate the method. The findings showed that the RSA method, using the apparent stiffness obtained from the proposed method along with the bending capacity formula in CSA O86, can provide a simpler and more reliable estimation of the apparent bending stiffness and bending capacity of CLT beams as compared to the Gamma method and shear analogy method.
