    This document summarizes research on the seismic behavior of multi-story buildings constructed of cross-laminated timber (CLT). It describes CLT construction, including advantages like strength, stiffness, insulation, and resilience during earthquakes. Full-scale shaking table tests were conducted on a 7x7x10m, 3-story CLT building in Japan, which remained intact after simulated earthquakes. Research demonstrates CLT technology can provide self-centering, rocking structures with no loss of life or property in seismic areas at little additional cost compared to other materials.

    Looking at the future

    New: XLAM SYSTEM


    The XLAM system (in which XLAM stands for cross-laminated solid timber boards) was developed in Germany around 12 years ago and its rapidly spreading in most European countries such as Austria, Switzerland, Italy and Nordic Countries

    XLAM SYSTEM
    The XLAM is a European innovative wood based material in which timber boards, made of home-grown wood species (mainly Spruce) are assembled in layers and glued together crosswise in order to form massive wood wall and floor panels

    XLAM SYSTEM : Advantages


    The cross lamination method gives a material with high stability and good overall mechanical properties, good thermal insulation, and a fairly good behaviour in case of earthquake or fire The XLAM system allows both for single unit housing and multi-storey buildings. The construction process is very quick and possible even for non-highly-skilled manpower

    XLAM SYSTEM : Advantages


    XLAM panels are extremely strong and stiff whatever is the timber quality, therefore they allow the use of medium-low grades of home-grown sawn wood

    Capacity of sustainable exploitation 500 000 m3

    Wood is from Trentino region (Spruce)

    The SOFIE Project


    The scope of the project is to define the performance and the potential of a construction system for multi-storey buildings whose loadbearing elements are wooden panels made of cross-laminated boards (XLam) through testing, analysis and study of every single aspect
    (seismic,

    fire, building physics, durability).

    The project is funded by the Autonomous Province of Trento (Italy)
