These guidelines describe methods for designing LTF structures that go beyond 2.5 storeys and are outside the scope of NZS 3604:2011 Timber-framed buildings.

Cross-laminated timber as an innovative structural element opens up new possibilities in structural timber construction. This guideline is to assist in properly exploiting and implementing the possibilities in planning and execution.

The benefits of using solid wood products and structural elements in construction are increasingly recognised in Canada and elsewhere.

To support a larger use of CLT, the 2019 Edition of the CLT Handbook has been completely revised and improved based on new research performed by FPInnovations and partners to reflect changes made since the 2011 edition in recent Canadian codes and standards, including new guidance recently implemented in the CSA O86:19 standard.

This comprehensive book provides in-depth knowledge and understanding of design rules according to Eurocode 5. It is based on the first edition of the STEP (Structural Timber Education Programme) series, which was prepared in 1995 by about 50 authors from 14 European countries. The present work updates and extends the STEP compilation and is aimed at students, structural engineers and other timber structure professionals.

The CLT Handbook is the result of a collaboration between Swedish suppliers of cross laminated timber, CLT, and the industry body Swedish Wood. The CLT Handbook is part of Swedish Wood’s investment in handbooks for building in wood.

The version available here has been adapted for the UK market.

WoodSolutions is an industry initiative designed to provide independent, non-proprietary information about timber and wood products to professionals and companies involved in building design and construction.

WoodSolutions comprises a website with more than three thousand pages of information and downloadable resources, technical publications, professional seminars and other related activities.

Naturally:wood is a comprehensive information resource promoting British Columbia as a global supplier of quality, environmentally-responsible forest products from sustainably-managed forests.

Think Wood highlights wood innovations and innovators will show you how wood can elevate your projects, meet budgets, achieve sustainability goals, and create awe-inspiring structures.

WoodWorks is a Canadian Wood Council program, which is industry led and is intended to help increase the use of wood in non-residential, mid-rise and tall building markets in Canada.
