Use of cross laminated timber (CIT) in the construction of multi-storey buildings and its contribution to mitigation of climate
Abstract
The paper gives an overview of the research results in the use of cross laminated timber (CLT) for the construction of multi-storey residential and nonresidetial buildings in Europe and the world. The tallest building in the world named Forte and the tallest building in Europe - Stadthaus, Murray Grove present the most significant construction objects made of cross laminated timber (CLT). These multistorey wooden buildings should present examples of good practice which could positively influence the growth and development of the construction industry in Serbia and countries in the Balkan region. The research included a brief overview of cross laminated timber market with special reference to the beginning of production and countries that are the dominant producers in this field. In addition, the research also involve the contribution of wood construction to mitigation of climate change. Unavoidable fire resistance of buildings made of of CLT was also the subject of the research in this... paper. It referred to particular objects made of CLT in terms of period of time in which they may be exposed to fire, as well as possibilities for improving the properties of fire resistance through the use of other materials for its covering.
