surprising that it should have taken so long to produce a decent introductory manual to a group of technologies that has been in active use for some twenty years, but such is the case with what is variously described as mass timber, massive wood, solid timber, and engineered timber panels....
Self-centering mass timber structures: A review on recent research progress 2024, Engineering Structures Citation Excerpt : In the first step of DDBD, the target deformation is necessary to determine the corresponding design drift for the equivalent SDOF. The target deformation is commonly based on ...

Class-A fire-protected mass timber building components, including cross-laminated timber (CLT), glue laminated timber (GLT) and nail-laminated timber (NLT), wherein multiple layers
In many design situations, boundaries and constraints limit the application o cutting EDGe actions. In these circumstances, designers should at least consider the ollowing: • Where possible, build on slab-on-ground. Where this is not possible, use slabs or timber foors with minimum under-foor...
