Perspective of CLT-panels application in multi-storey construction

Introduction. The article considers the prerequisites for the development and application of new construction technology with the use of renewable natural resource — wood. The problem of providing construction with raw materials for production is relevant. Objectives of the research — determination of the main advantages and disadvantages of CLT-panels as a material used in load-bearing frames; feasibility of CLT-panels in relation to other traditional building materials; identification of the main technological features of construction production with the use of cross-glued panels technology, determination of the advantages of the technology; necessity of research activities on the construction material for updating the relevant building regulations; analysis of foreign experience in the field of construction of wood-based panels.Materials and methods. The review and analysis of domestic and foreign literature, scientific papers, normative documents, information sources on the basis of eLIBRARY.RU were performed. Comparison and systematization of the obtained data. Earlier studies were also taken as a basis.Results. On the basis of the conducted analysis of information sources the description of the main properties and characteristics, as well as production technology of CLT-panels is given; positive and negative sides of the material application, advantages of construction technology of building frames erection are determined. The comparative analysis of domestic and foreign experience in wooden house building is carried out. The problems of cross-glue panel technology development in Russia are defined.Conclusions. The results obtained through the conducted research determine the feasibility of using CLT-panels as a building material for load-bearing structures, characterized by the presence of a list of properties significant for the industry: environmental friendliness, renewability, high rates of work production, reduction in the cost of construction of objects due to the reduction of labour intensity of the construction process.
