CROSS LAMINATED TIMBER CONSTRUCTION

摘要

A shear core (2) for a building (100) comprises a plurality of laminated timber panels (5). Each panel (5) has at least one side edge (6b) shaped to mesh with a side edge (6b) of an adjacent panel (5), to thereby resist relative vertical movement between the panels (5). In some embodiments the shear core (2) further comprises at least one stabilising means (12) associated with a plurality of the panels (5) for preventing movement of the panels (5) out of alignment. A method of constructing a shear core (2) is also disclosed.
