Cross-laminated timber: experimental research
The summaries presented here are extracted from the cross-laminated timber (CLT) research published in two selected proceedings arising out of the COST Action FP1004 conferences held in 2012 and 2014.
Full references to these proceedings are given at the end of this paper.

Wind-induced vibration in tall timber buildings
Wind-induced vibration is an important design consideration in tall buildings in any structural material. The two main forms of wind-induced vibration - across-wind vibration due to vortex shedding and along-wind vibration due to turbulence - were taken into consideration when undertaking this study. Both types are addressed in Eurocode 1.
