title = "RACKING RESISTANCE OF CLT PANELS MANUFACTURED FROM C16 GRADE TIMBER",
abstract = "This study examines the typical lateral/racking resistance of cross-laminated timber (CLT). The use of CLT in construction has grown in many regions of the world, not only due to its impressive structural properties but also the improved environmental performance achieved for this mass-timber system compared to more traditional construction materials. In Europe, CLT is primarily manufactured with C24 grade timber or a combination of C24 with small proportions of C16 grade material in internal layers. In many parts of the world, the supply of C24 timber is limited and it is important to establish the structural properties of CLT manufactured with lower-grade material. This study presents a numerical model developed to predict the load-displacement behaviour and structural racking resistance of CLT panels and will inform the experimental testing of CLT panels manufactured from C16 grade material in combination with typical connections utilised in structural mass timber systems.",
