another article from the academic journal division of the Mass
Timber Construction Journal. Congratulations to the authors.
Travis Welt and the team at University of St. Thomas looked at
the #shear #connector performance in #CLT. Citation: Cooke, M.,
Nodland, E., & Welt, T. (2021). State of research for shear
connector performance in steel-CLT composite beams. Mass Timber
Construction Journal, 4(1), 1-9. Architects and engineers are

timber” to construct buildings. Mass timber, which is made of
planks of wood glued together and stacked perpendicularly, emits
less carbon than using steel, iron and cement. Roxana Saberi has
more. Air Date: Sep 25, 2021. In the larger Housing Project
sector is Jackson Clement Burrows’ student housing for La Trobe
University. With two arcing wings, 624 student units and some
facade aspects reflecting the colours of the plantings across the
Melbourne bush campus, it is Australia’s biggest
engineered-timber construction to date. It is also mostly empty
at present. LMN Architects’ mass timber structure for Founders
Hall at the University of Washington Foster School of Business
has topped out. The 85,000-square-foot structure, expected to be
completed in the summer of 2022, frames the northeast edge of the
school’s historic Denny Yard, an open space at the heart of the
original campus plan. It expands the Foster School of Business
education complex while improving connections to the surrounding
area.
