In the last decade, wooden constructions have shown a strong
expansion, thanks to technological improvements, in particular
related to connection systems, and thanks to intrinsic qualities of
the material such as excellent structural performance, good thermal insulation, workability, flexibility of use and sustainability. In this scenario Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) buildings have undoubtedly thrived. The course offers a rich program that analyze the crucial problems of the new CLT constructions focusing on structural, durability and acoustic design of the buildings. Both CLT and Light Timber Frame technologies are studied, example of connections and technical details designed to enhance the acoustic and air tightness characteristic of the structures are presented.
