INTRODUCTION  \nThis study was undertaken to provide a comparison between Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) and cast-in-place concrete as structural framing systems for mid-rise buildings in the United States. The focus was primarily on structural design, structural cost, and constructability.  \nConsideration was also given to sustainability and fire & life safety.  \nA layout representative of an urban mid-rise multifamily residential building was used to develop the structural design for both options considered. The floor plan is approximately 12,000 square feet, with living units varying in size from 750 square feet to 1,100 square feet ","cbCaip9Omz9tXwzZ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaip9Omz9tXwzZ","pdf",3425649,"English","# Introduction\n## Objectives\n# Design\n## Cross Laminated Timber Option\n## Cast-in-Place Concrete Option\n# Summary of Findings\n## Structural Design\n## Cost & Constructability\n## Sustainability\n## Fire & Life Safety\n## Code Acceptance\n# Conclusions\n# Appendix","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the feasibility study comparing CLT and cast-in-place concrete?\",\"answer\":\"To compare Cross Laminated Timber and cast-in-place concrete as structural framing systems for mid-rise buildings, focusing on structural design, structural cost, and constructability.\"},{\"question\":\"Which aspects are evaluated for each building frame option?\",\"answer\":\"The study compares structural performance (strength and serviceability), constructability, and cost, including additional system-specific considerations.\"},{\"question\":\"What other building performance topics are reviewed beyond structure and cost?\",\"answer\":\"Sustainability topics such as carbon footprint and energy efficiency are reviewed, along with fire and life safety and code acceptance considerations.\"}]","Cross Laminated Timber Feasibility Study - February 2018 - Structural Design and Cost Comparison | PDF",48]
