The elastic and ductile behaviour of CLT wall-floor connections and the influence of fastener length

This work has been carried out as part of the project entitled ‘Commercialisation of Irish Cross Laminated Timber” (project ref. 15/C/694) funded by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine of the Republic of Ireland. The contribution of the technical staff of the College of Engineering and Informatics, NUIG, in particular, Peter Fahy, Colm Walsh and Gerard Hynes, is acknowledged.
