Modern building structures made of wood

Introduction. In European countries, the use of timber structures is growing, not only for low-rise construction but also for multi-story buildings. When constructing multi-story buildings using timber, one often encounters the challenge of creating products with unique geometric and structural characteristics that cannot be manufactured from standard lumber.

Aim. To study modern building structures using CLT and MHM panels in industrial and civil engineering for the construction of multi-story buildings and structures, to explore possible design solutions, and to examine the technical characteristics of the structures.

Materials and methods. The subject of this study is modern timber building structures based on CLT and MHM technologies used to produce unique load-bearing structures in building construction.

Results. The paper presents the technical characteristics of panels for the construction of timber structures. Examples of completed and future buildings and structures are considered.

Conclusions. The main differences in manufacturing solutions are outlined. The main prospects for the use of timber in multi-story construction are analyzed. The main advantages and disadvantages of CLT and MHM panels are outlined.
