Mass Timber Panels Section Wall

Cross laminated timber crosslam clt is a multi layer mass timber product spanning two directions with precision accuracy resulting in a secure airtight building solution for any floor wall roof or core.

Mass timber panels section wall.

The panel is then sized and shaped with a computer numerically control cnc machine into a fully construction ready component. Innovation in mass timber design engineering 3d modeling and precision manufacturing. One of the biggest benefits with mass timber buildings as compared to other types of structures is the ability to prefabricate the entire structure. Model wall and floor systems with easy to use timber systems creation.

Mass timber floor and wall systems. Shafts and designed for a 2 hour fire resistance. Shearwalls stud walls and joist diaphragm systems. Serving as a significantly lighter replacement for concrete crosslam clt is carbon negative and uses wood exclusively from sustainably managed forests.

Katerra partners with architects and engineers to provide specifications and bring mass timber designs to life. Based on completed buildings in the us square grids tend to be in the range of 20 20 to 30 30 ft. Type iv b maximum 12 stories limited area of exposed mass timber walls and ceilings allowed. Cross laminated timber clt panels are formed by stacking and gluing together successive perpendicular layers of wood.

The layered stacks are then pressed in large hydraulic or vacuum presses to form an interlocked panel. In contrast to post and beam designers can take advantage of mass timber panel s two way spanning capability. Although a mass timber panel may be able to span the 20 ft distance between support beams in a 20 20 ft grid an alternate method would be to include one intermediate beam within each bay to reduce the span of the mass timber floor panel. This can include mass timber panels constructed to form a honeycomb structure well suited to handle both vertical and lateral loads.

This saves precious time and money on site because the installation process becomes more efficient. Specifier services specification support code review structural engineering design review eor services schedule constructability review supply sourcing katerra partners with builders to supply all necessary materials and services to help accelerate their mass timber projects. Mpp is a massive large scale structural composite lumber based panel designed as an alternative to concrete and steel and to cross laminated timbers clt. Type iv a maximum 18 stories with noncombustible protection on all mass timber elements.
