Production and Technology of Cross Laminated Timber (CLT): A state-of-the-art Report

Cross laminated timber (CLT) has been developed into a worldwide well-known and versatile building material. Progressive rates in production volume and distribution can be observed currently. In fact CLT opens new horizons in timber engineering thanks to its laminar structure which makes it well suited for use in constructions of that type which had been subject to mineral building materials like concrete and masonry so far.
