Massive timber construction systems CLT
This guide discusses one of the Massive Timbers that is often used called Cross-laminated Timber
(CLT). The guide’s intention is to introduce CLT, providing general product and performance
information, design consideration and building processes.
Fire safe use of wood in buildings
Fire Safe Use of Wood in Buildings is ideal for all involved in the fire safety of buildings, including architects, engineers, firefighters, educators, regulatory authorities, insurance companies and professionals in the building industry.
Fire Design
This Guide provides a summary of fire safety design process for a number of EXPAN-developed systems, including timber concrete composite (TCC) floors, timber cassette floors and post-tensioned timber beams without any fire-rated lining or additional protection. Design for structural stability in fire conditions is covered, as well as worked examples of the fire safety design procedures for each system.
