Introduction: ti Cross Laminated Timber CLT a Wood Based Product Bending under loads perp. p to Plane Shear loads in Plane Conclusion and open points 27
Conclusion and open points Conclusion Bearing models like for bending loads perp. p to plane or shear loads in plane - are needed for huge elements like CLT Test procedures must be new defined (shear loads in plane) or at least adapted (bending loads) from well known configurations (EN 408 configuration) 28
Conclusion and open points open points Bearings models for tension and compression forces should be still established. Interaction formulars between tension/compression with bending should be investigated t in future. Bending strength near local support (e.g. column support) with its typical moment peaks has to be investigated. Compression strength perpendicular to grain and factor k c90 c,90 For some special cases tensile strength behavior perpendicular to grain is needed d e.g. curved elements. 29
