This guide discusses CLT, one of the frequently used massive timber building systems. The guide’s intention is to introduce CLT, providing general product and performance information, design consideration and building processes. The guide is not a design manual, for more detailed design information refer to producers or suppliers of CLT.
This Guide is intended to provide an introduction to the fire safety design of timber buildings in compliance with NCC and is suitable for a broad range of building practitioners including fire
This Technical Design Guide provides information on methods of analysis and supporting data that can be applied to the design of timber structures in Australia if the Performance Solution or DTS pathways are followed. The Guide focuses on methods of analysis and supporting data applicable to timber structures that are of greatest relevance to the Australian building industry and the NCC.
This Performance Solutions guide is unavailable as it is being reviewed and updated. Please check the WoodSolutions newsletter for news about the new guide.
