Cross laminated timber at in-plane shear loading : Strength and Fracture analysis of shear mode III
Theoretical investigations of Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) at in-plane shear loading conditions are presented with focus on shear failure mode III, relating to shear stresses acting in the crossing areas between orthogonally bonded laminations of different layers. Failure criteria for structural design, test configurations and material parameters are discussed. Full 3D finite element (FE) analyses
