One significant area of research has been the comparative analysis of CLT and glued-laminated timber (GLT) beams. Studies have shown that while CLT generally exhibits lower bending and shear ...

The increasing demand for glue-laminated timber is forecast to boost for household purposes. Glue-laminated timber finds its wide applications in the development of floor beams, window headers, ...

Beam with shear stiffness Now let's consider reconsider our laminated beam where shear stresses are produced as the laminae slide with respect to each other under loading. For example, these stresses ...
