Mass Timber Panels Section Wall

Mass timber floor and wall systems.

Mass timber panels section wall.

Serving as a significantly lighter replacement for concrete crosslam clt is carbon negative and uses wood exclusively from sustainably managed forests. Shafts and designed for a 2 hour fire resistance. Katerra partners with architects and engineers to provide specifications and bring mass timber designs to life. One of the biggest benefits with mass timber buildings as compared to other types of structures is the ability to prefabricate the entire structure.

Based on completed buildings in the us square grids tend to be in the range of 20 20 to 30 30 ft. Clt products have been used in europe for decades as a substitute for concrete construction and have recently been used in multi story construction in the united states. Although a mass timber panel may be able to span the 20 ft distance between support beams in a 20 20 ft grid an alternate method would be to include one intermediate beam within each bay to reduce the span of the mass timber floor panel. Cross laminated timber crosslam clt is a multi layer mass timber product spanning two directions with precision accuracy resulting in a secure airtight building solution for any floor wall roof or core.

Type iv a maximum 18 stories with noncombustible protection on all mass timber elements. The panel is then sized and shaped with a computer numerically control cnc machine into a fully construction ready component. Model wall and floor systems with easy to use timber systems creation. Innovation in mass timber design engineering 3d modeling and precision manufacturing.

Mpp is a massive large scale structural composite lumber based panel designed as an alternative to concrete and steel and to cross laminated timbers clt. This saves precious time and money on site because the installation process becomes more efficient. Shearwalls stud walls and joist diaphragm systems. The layered stacks are then pressed in large hydraulic or vacuum presses to form an interlocked panel.

Type iv b maximum 12 stories limited area of exposed mass timber walls and ceilings allowed. In contrast to post and beam designers can take advantage of mass timber panel s two way spanning capability. This can include mass timber panels constructed to form a honeycomb structure well suited to handle both vertical and lateral loads. The modeling environment provides full control over timber properties and details of wall or floor systems including the material and species joist or stud spacing and section properties.
