A new edition of the 150-page Swedish Wood CLT handbook has been adapted for the UK market and brought up to date with the latest research and developments by industry experts and Arup. At a time when timber is top of the agenda for de-carbonising construction, and cross-laminated timber (CLT) offers architects and engineers exciting new structural possibilities, the authoritative handbook provides the guidance to ensure the design of safe, resilient, comfortable and sustainable timber buildings. The aim of the CLT Handbook is to help structural engineers and architects design structures using CLT. The handbook describes CLT as a construction material, as well as methods of design. …To ensure the information is kept up to date with research programmes currently underway in Europe, the handbook is available – free – as a searchable web-based publication from Wood Campus, the UK timber industry’s free online information portal, at woodcampus.co.uk/clt-handbook
