The CLT Handbook is part of Swedish Wood’s investment in handbooks for building in wood. Other handbooks that have been published are:  \n• Design of timber structures Volume 1, which deals with structural aspects of timber constructions.  \n• Design of timber structures Volume 2, which contains rules and formulas according to Eurocode 5. Design of timber structures Volume 3, which include examples of timber constructions.  \n• The Glulam Handbook Volume 1, which deals with facts about glulam and planning guidance.  \n• The Glulam Handbook Volume 2, which contains calculations for the structural dimensioning of glulam.  \n• The Glulam Handbook Volume 3, which gives a number of example calculations for the most common glulam structures.  \nFurther knowledge, information and practical instructions on wood, CLT and timber construction is available on TräGuiden, [www.traguiden.se](www.traguiden.se), which is constantly updated with new knowledge and practical experiences. TräGuiden is an extensive resource with tables, drawings and illustrations.  \nWelcome [to](to www.traguiden.se)[ www.traguiden.se](to www.traguiden.se)!  \nInformation on wood, glulam, CLT and timber construction can also be found at [www.svenskttra.se](www.svenskttra.se).  \nStockholm, May 2019  \nEric Borgström and Johan Fröbel  \nSvenskt Trä  \nCover: Strandparken, Sundbyberg, Sweden.  \nForeword  \nThe aim of the CLT Handbook is to help construction planners to design and plan structures using panels of cross laminated timber.  \nThe handbook describes cross laminated timber, CLT, as a construction material, as well as designs carried out using CLT. The CLT Handbook provides guidance on designing and planning structures in CLT.  \nThe CLT Handbook also presents some of today’s many applications for CLT. The CLT Handbook is aimed at construction planners and other actors in the field.  \nThe CLT Handbook refers mainly to European construction standards and the Eurocodes, which are Europe-wide structural design rules that address verification of load-bearing capacity, stability and durability.  \nNational adaptations have been made to the Eurocodes, based on the member states’ particular conditions with regard to geology, climate and culture. These national adaptations for Sweden are set out in Boverket’s building regulations (BBR) and its general recommendations on the application of European design standards, EKS 10 (BFS 2015:6) .  \nEKS 10 also contains general rules on safety, controls, documentation and changes to buildings.  \nWhere the Swedish EKS 10 lacks rules or presents questionable design methods, other methods have been suggested. When calculating the properties and load-bearing capacity of CLT in different contexts, methods based on research and best practice have therefore been used.  \nThe authors have been responsible for interpreting building regulations, research papers, industrial documents and so on, with a view to conveying current design practices. The material presented is only intended to provide guidance; the final design responsibility lies with the structural engineer.  \nSkellefteå, May 2019  \nAnders Gustafsson  \nRISE Research Institutes of Sweden  \nThe CLT Handbook 3  \nInstalling CLT  \nThe CLT Handbook  \nTable of contents  \nCLT as a construction material 8  \n1.1 Introduction 8  \n1.2 Architect’s views on CLT 9  \n1.3 CLT as a construction material 11  \n1.4 CLT in the eco-cycle 12  \n1.5 CLT manufacture 16  \n1.6 Properties 19  \n1.7 Where can you use CLT? 21  \nDesign systems for CLT 24 2.1 Floor structures and walls 25  \n2.2 CLT as a beam 26  \n2.3 CLT in shell structures 26  \n2.4 Initial design 27  \nDesign of CLT structures 30 3.1 Basis for design 30  \n3.2 Material properties of CLT 37  \n3.3 CLT design u","cbCaibPWYjgpPLNM","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibPWYjgpPLNM","pdf",16803491,188,"English","# CLT as a construction material\n## Introduction\n## Architect’s views on CLT\n## CLT as a construction material\n## CLT in the eco-cycle\n## CLT manufacture\n## Properties\n## Where can you use CLT?\n# Design systems for CLT\n## Floor structures and walls\n## CLT as a beam\n## CLT in shell structures\n## Initial design\n# Design of CLT structures\n## Basis for design\n## Material properties of CLT\n## CLT design using beam theory\n## Examples\n# Joints and connections\n## Joints and connections\n## Design principles\n## Overview of joint types\n## Detailed solutions\n# Floor structures\n## Deformations\n## Deflection, sagging and vibrations\n## Fire safety\n## Acoustic performance\n## Example calculations","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the CLT Handbook?\",\"answer\":\"The handbook helps construction planners design and plan structures using panels of cross laminated timber (CLT).
