Thiel1), G. Schickhofer2)  \nInd roduction  \nThe application of cross laminated Timber (CLT) , typically as twodimensional elements like ceilingsand walls , has been very common in modern timber engineering structures. CLT-elements represent  \nmulti-layer plate structures consisting of a sequence of alternating orthogonal orientated board layers. Usually build up symmetrically with respect to the plate mid-plane. The boards of each single layer are usually arranged side-by-side glued orunglued on the narrow face. CLT-elements are available 3- to 9-layered. Commonly 3- and 5-layered elements are used for walls, 5- and 7-layered ones for ceilings and 9-layered ones for special high-bearing purposes. The thickness of each layer lies inbetween 6 and 45 mm.  \nIn order to provide save and reliable design guidelines numerous design concepts have been developed, but all these methods are very time-consuming in practice and due to approximations deviating from the exact mechanical solution.  \nFor simplification of the design and for stimulating the application of CLT-elements a verification process, which is practicable adequate, traceable and easily capable by engineers and master carpenters in practice , was implemented into the software-tool CLTdesigner. This verification process is published in BSPhandbuch | HolzMassivbauweise in Brettsperrholz (only available in German ISBN 978-3-85125-109-8 ) .  \nModules  \nThe software tool CLTdesigner is organised in modules. For the verification of CLTplates under loads out of plane there are two modules implemented. The first module “ContinuousBeam” verifies CLT-plates according to EN 1995-1-1 and ON B 1995-1-1, as a continuous beam up to 7 spans with or without cantilevers. The CLT-plate can be subjected to self- and construction-weight , imposed load, snow and wind load. The ultimate limit state design (ULS) is provided in respect of bending and shear stresses as well as compression stresses perpendicular to grain for combinations of actions for persistent or transient and accidental (fire) design situations. The serviceability limit state design (SLS) is made in respect of deformations and vibrations. The second module “CSVerification” provides the cross-sectional verification of CLT-elements depending on given internal forces and moments as well as a stability verification tool based on the model column method.  \nPrinciples of design verification and scope  \nBecause of geometric relations within the CLT-element and geometric boundary conditions nowadays produced CLT-plates show a main load carrying direction. Therefore 1D-beam theory sufficiently represents the bearing behavior of CLT-plates for practical applications and is applied for calculating stresses and deformations. Nevertheless, compared to uni-axial layered products like glue laminated timber (GLT) , due to low rolling shear modulus of cross layers, CLT-elements show remarkable deformations. Therefore shear deformation shall be taken into account in SLS-design. A comparison of the different design methods for cross-layered plates with an exact solution, reflects that all of them provide suitable solutions for practically relevant length to depth ratios L/H > 15. Beside that it is strongly recommended that the chosen method for the design of CLT-plates is congruent with the evaluation of strength and stiffness in testing procedures. The implemented method in the CLTdesigner is based on the Timoshenko beam theory.  \nStiffness of a layered cross section  \nUltimate Limit States (ULS)  \nStructural fire design  \nThe implemented structural fire design is based on the method of reduced cross section according to EN 1995-1-2. Therefore, the information about charring depth dchar over the time is decisive. The charring depth depends on the charring rate, the type of adhesive applied and on the availability of fire protection. The depth will also be reduc","cbCaimMkPxASyI9n","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimMkPxASyI9n","pdf",1031088,"English","# Modules\n## ContinuousBeam\n## CSVerification\n# Principles of design verification and scope\n## Stiffness of a layered cross section\n## Ultimate Limit States (ULS)\n## Structural fire design\n## Serviceability Limit States (SLS)\n## Deflections\n## Vibrations","[{\"question\":\"What is CLTdesigner used for?\",\"answer\":\"CLTdesigner supports verification and design of cross laminated timber (CLT) elements, helping engineers apply practical, traceable checks for safety and service performance.\"},{\"question\":\"Which modules are implemented for verification?\",\"answer\":\"Two out-of-plane verification modules are implemented: ContinuousBeam for plate verification and CSVerification for cross-sectional verification and stability based on the column method.\"},{\"question\":\"How does CLTdesigner handle structural fire design?\",\"answer\":\"Structural fire design is based on the reduced cross section method according to EN 1995-1-2, where decisive input is the charring depth over time and parameters such as charring rate, adhesive type and fire protection.\"}]","CLTdesigner - A Software Tool for Designing Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) Elements | PDF",1789434655]
