Abstract:In building envelope, the cross laminated timber (CLT) is often used as air barrier layer. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of production technologies such as edge bonding, different initial moisture content (MC) of lamination, and number of lamination layers (3 and 5) on the air-permeability properties of cross laminated timber. Air leakage and crack growth in CLT panels were measured after the panels were conditioned in environments with different relative humidity (RH) in progressive s… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
