Development of cross laminated timber composite panels from C16 timber Emily McAllister (24169869) PUREID: 640730876 Timber cross laminated timber composite This study involved the manufacturing of a variety of cross laminated timber panels with varying dimensions and a selection of reinforcement techniques. It was necessary to develop a drying regime for rapid growing Sitka Spruce harvested in Ireland bringing it to a moisture content of 12%, not normally carried out on Irish timber. Reinforcing materials used were glass fibre mat and steel rebar. The panels were tested in four-point bending tests to determine how panel dimensions affect the panel stiffness and additionally, how the presence of reinforcement affects the stiffness. 2026-10-01T16:24:50Z Text Thesis 10.17034/32641227.v1 https://figshare.com/articles/thesis/Development_of_cross_laminated_timber_composite_panels_from_C16_timber/32641227 All Rights Reserved
