NOT ALL CLT IS THE SAME

Similar to other manufactured wood products, CLT is available in various grades and layups as defined by the APA PRG-320

Standard for Performance-Rated Cross-Laminated Timber. The CLT grade is dependent on the species and classification of

wood used in the manufacturing process. Lumber used as laminations may be visually classified or stress rated and will have

a direct impact on the overall mechanical properties and strength capacity of the CLT panel. All SmartLam Divisions source

North American wood fiber exclusively from regional sawmills, ensuring the highest quality products for our customers. In

addition to APA certification, SmartLam CLT has also received FSC and SFI certification warranting the sustainability of our

products.

To optimize performance for specific structural applications, layers in a CLT panel can be arranged using combinations of

lamination thicknesses and orientations to create different layups. Depending on the layup, CLT panel mechanical properties

can be optimized for one-way flatwise bending, two-way flatwise bending, edgewise bending or fire performance. To best

meet the needs of our customers, SmartLam has certified several layups through APA for each of our CLT grades that can be

used on your next project.

CLT GRADE COMPARISON

Determining equivalency between CLT manufacturers can be confusing and difficult without a complete understanding of a

panel’s mechanical properties. SmartLam is here to assist you in specifying the appropriate CLT grade and layup to meet

engineering performance requirements. The following tables provide a 1-to-1 comparison between standard CLT grades and

layups defined in the PRG 320 and SmartLam products. The listed SmartLam product meets or exceeds the properties

of the corresponding PRG 320 grade and layup thickness. SmartLam grades other than those listed can often be

specified with additional engineering analysis based on project specific design criteria. Contact SmartLam’s in-house

engineering department for more details regarding value engineering, design-assist and deferred engineering. Cost has not

been considered in the preparation of the following tables.

CLT LAYUPS

As a wood panel product, CLT exhibits plate (2-way), flatwise bending behavior. By altering the layups, this bending

performance can either be maximized to transfer loads around openings or to column supports or be minimized for one-way

span conditions. SmartLam offers two layup options to achieve the structural performance required by your project. “alt”

layups are manufactured with each layer oriented orthogonal to adjacent layers and are typically utilized on projects where

plate, flatwise bending is required. “maxx” layups are manufactured with more outside layers oriented in one direction to

increase the strength and stiffness for one-way spans with high loads or stringent serviceability requirements. Each layup

utilizes laminations of similar thickness. Download SmartLam’s product report at www.apawood.org/cross-laminated-timber

for current availability of CLT grades and layups.

• In exposed surfaces, all knot holes and voids measuring over 3/4” are filled with a wood-

tone filler or clear wood inserts

• Voids greater than 1/16” wide created by edge joints appearing on the face layers

exposed to view are filled

• Exposed surfaces are sanded smooth

INDUSTRIAL APPEARANCE An appearance classification normally suitable for use in concealed applications where

appearance is not of primary concern.

• Loose knots and open knot holes on face layers are not filled

• Voids appearing on the edges of laminations need not be filled

• Occasional misses, low laminations or wane (limited to the lumber grade)

are permitted on the surface layers and are not limited in length

• Adhesive patches may be visible

• Members are surfaced on face layers only and the appearance requirements

apply only to these layers

STRUCTURAL DESIGN The tables and design guidance provided in this Specification Guide for SmartLam CLT panels are intended to be used for

PRELIMINARY design. SmartLam has provided the information in this Specification Guide based on accepted engineering

practices but does not certify the spans, loads, or design concepts for final design or construction. The Specifying Designer

shall be responsible to ensure that the design meets all the requirements set forth in the local Building Code for the project.

The Specifying Designer shall also consider the loading sequence of CLT panels and investigate other loading conditions

(gravity or lateral or combination thereof) independent of the design tables provided. The appropriate SmartLam CLT panel

grade and layup shall be selected by the Specifying Designer to provide the strength and serviceability requirements outlined

for the project.

LOAD/SPAN TABLES

Moment and Shear design forces and deflection equations are shown on the Loading Diagrams prior to each section within

this Specification Guide.

• CLT Panels are NOT isotropic. Tables shall be used for the strength direction indicated

• All tables and design guidance are based on Allowable Stress Design (ASD) and corresponding Load Combinations as

provided in ASCE7

• Tables assume dry service conditions

• The following factors were used for calculations unless identified otherwise: CD = 1.0, Ct = 1.0

• Panels are assumed to be simply supported with pinned support conditions

• All spans are to be considered center-to-center of supports

FIRE RESISTANCE SmartLam CLT, like other mass timber products, exhibits

favorable structural performance in extraordinary events

such as fires. When considering a building material for

fire resistance, combustibility should not be the only

factor considered. Fire ratings are typically based on time

increments of 1 or 2 hours that allow occupants to safely

exit the building or adequate time for rescue activities. Unlike steel or concrete, mass timber burns at a predictable rate and

chars when exposed to flame. This outer char layer forms a self-insulating barrier and helps to protect the wood below from

flame and high temperatures. The underlying wood retains its structural properties and is capable of providing load carrying

capacity. For this reason, CLT can perform equally or exceed the performance of steel and concrete construction in fires. For

specific questions relating to CLT fire performance, contact SmartLam.

BLAST RESISTANCE Due to CLT’s high resilience under dynamic loading, it can

effectively be used to resist blast loading. In conjunction

with the USDA Forest Products Lab, SmartLam has

conducted a series of blast tests on a two-story CLT

structure at Tyndall Air Force Base. The structure

remained intact under significant explosive loading well

beyond its design capacity. The results from the blast

testing are leading to new design methodologies and

opening new markets for mass timber. SmartLam is proud

to be at the forefront of these exciting new developments.

FIELD CUTTING AND DRILLING CLT is generally designed for structural applications where it will experience high stresses under design loads or to meet

specific fire requirements. For this reason, field modifications such as cutting or drilling should only be made after approval

from the project’s design professional and SmartLam. If you are aware of penetrations or cuts that are not noted on the

project plans or shop drawings, please notify SmartLam for appropriate coordination efforts and to ensure precision through

CNC or jig cuts in the manufacturing plant.

era

l

GENERAL Tables presented in the Roof section of this Specification Guide are based on single spans, equal adjacent two span

conditions, and cantilevers with a backspan ratio of 2:1. Tables were generated based on full, uniform loading conditions for

the Load Combinations noted. Partial loading has not been considered. The Specifying Designer shall follow the provisions of

ASCE7 for partial snow loading on multiple spans, snow accumulation on overhangs, and drifting. The effects of wind uplift

have not been considered for the spans provided.

LOADING AND LOAD COMBINATIONS All tables assume the following superimposed Dead Load:

DL Contributions mechanical/electrical, ceiling, insulation, and roofing loads

Allowance for DL 10 psf

Load Combinations D + LR

D + S

CAPACITY ADJUSTMENT FACTORS AND DESIGN CONSTANTS Load Duration Adjustment Factors, CD

Roof Live Load 1.25

Snow Load 1.15

Shear Deformation Constants, Ks

Single Span 11.5

Two Span 15.6

Cantilever (Between Supports) 3.9

Cantilever (Overhang) 4.8

Shear deformation constants for two span and cantilever conditions were derived as follows: Ks = 6/5 ks/kb

where ks and kb are dependent upon loading, support conditions, and the location of analysis.

ks = shear deflection constant

kb = bending deflection constant

Tabulated Creep deflection spans are based on a Total Load deflection limit of L/180 and time dependent deformation factor,

Kcr = 2.0

SPAN TABLE NOTES (a) Shaded values correspond to spans governed by allowable bending or shear stress (green and orange respectively)

(b) Hatching represents spans governed by:

52 ft maximum panel length manufactured in Montana (CLT grades SL-V4, SL-V5M1, SL-V5M2 and SL-V1M2)

(52 ft – Single Span, 26 ft – Two Span, 17 ft – Cantilever with 34 ft backspan)

50 ft maximum panel length manufactured in Alabama (CLT grade SL-V3)

(50 ft – Single Span, 25 ft – Two Span, 16 ft – Cantilever with 32 ft backspan)

(c) Deflection limits are based on Total Load

FLOOR SPECIFICATIONS G

l

GENERAL Tables presented in the Non-Composite Floor section of this Specification Guide are based on single spans, equal adjacent

two span conditions, and cantilevers with a backspan ratio of 2:1. Tables were generated based on full, uniform loading

conditions for the Load Combinations noted. Partial or patterned loading has not been considered. The Specifying Designer

shall follow the provisions of ASCE7 for partial live loading on multiple spans. Composite action between the concrete

topping and CLT Floor Panels was not considered for strength or deflection calculations in the preparation of the span tables.

LOADING AND LOAD COMBINATIONS Tables assume the following superimposed Dead Load:

DL Contributions mechanical/electrical, ceiling, and floor finish

Allowance for DL

Finished Floor 10 psf

Lightweight Topping 20 psf (1 1/2” gypcrete or LW concrete)

Heavy Topping 45 psf (3” NW concrete)

Load Combinations D + L

CAPACITY ADJUSTMENT FACTORS AND DESIGN CONSTANTS Load Duration Adjustment Factors, CD

Live Load 1.0

Shear Deformation Constants, Ks

Single Span 11.5

Two Span 15.6

Cantilever (Between Supports) 3.9

Cantilever (Overhang) 4.8

Reference Roof Specifications for shear deformation constant derivation.

Tabulated Creep deflection spans are based on a Total Load deflection limit of L/240 and time dependent deformation factor,

Kcr = 2.0

SPAN TABLE NOTES (a) Shaded values correspond to spans governed by allowable bending or shear stress (orange and blue respectively)

(b) Hatching represents spans governed by:

52 ft maximum panel length manufactured in Montana (CLT grades SL-V4, SL-V5M1, SL-V5M2 and SL-V1M2)

(52 ft – Single Span, 26 ft – Two Span, 17 ft – Cantilever with 34 ft backspan)

50 ft maximum panel length manufactured in Alabama (CLT grade SL-V3)

(50 ft – Single Span, 25 ft – Two Span, 16 ft – Cantilever with 32 ft backspan)

(c) Deflection limits L/600 and L/360 are based on Live Load. L/240 is based on Total Load.

(d) “NA” represents Floor Panels that do not meet the specified deflection criteria.

FLOOR SPECIFICATIONS

VIBRATION In addition to Floor Panel deflection, vibration may be an important serviceability design consideration for your Project.

Many factors are associated with the analysis and design for CLT floor vibrations including the dynamic effects of supporting

framework, occupational use of a structure, connection interfaces and dampening effects of the floor assembly. The tables

provided in this Specification Guide are based on analysis methods outlined in AISC Design Guide 11 “Vibrations of Steel-

Framed Structural Systems Due to Human Activity” and are intended for preliminary design based on the specific

assumptions as noted. CLT spans controlled by vibration neglect the dynamic effects of supporting beams. CLT is assumed

to be well supported and rotational fixity arising from gravity loads applied by the structure above or mechanical fasteners

has been ignored. Contact SmartLam for further information regarding the analysis methods used and with specific

requirements for your Project.

Floor excitation is based on footsteps of normal walking with an average frequency of 2 Hz. Only vertical accelerations have

been considered. Increases in floor stiffness due to composite action created through friction between concrete toppings and

CLT are neglected. Tabulated vibration controlled spans are the minimum of vibrational effects, bending or shear strength.

Design Verification

CLT spans are limited to fn = 9 Hz or a Peak Acceleration = 0.5% g for fn < 9 Hz

The Specifying Designer shall consider the vibrational effects around unsupported openings and at other span conditions to

ensure serviceability requirements are met for the Project. Floor panel layout shall also be considered to reduce vibrational

effects.

WALL AXIAL SPECIFICATIONS G

en

era

l

GENERAL Tables presented in the Wall Axial section of this Specification Guide are based on single span, unbraced wall heights and full,

uniform transverse (wind or seismic) loading conditions. Transverse load increases with structure height have not been

considered. The Specifying Designer shall follow the provisions of ASCE7 for non-uniform transverse loading. Wall end

crushing, crushing or other failure modes of support materials, loading sequence and other loading conditions not outlined in

this Specification Guide should be investigated when applicable.

LOADING AND LOAD COMBINATIONS All tables assume axial loads to be applied uniformly over the thickness of the wall panel. Axial eccentricity and secondary PΔ

effects have not been considered. Tabulated axial loads represent superimposed loads. Wall Panel self-weight has been

considered in the preparation of the tables.

Load Combinations D + L

D + 0.6W

CAPACITY ADJUSTMENT FACTORS AND DESIGN CONSTANTS Load Duration Adjustment Factors, CD

a Axial & Transverse Shear Loads 1.0

Transverse Bending Loads 1.6

Axial loads may be increased up to 1.6 per the NDS

Shear Deformation Constants, Ks

Single Span Transverse Loading 11.5

Column Buckling 11.8

LOAD TABLE NOTES (a) Shaded values correspond to spans governed by allowable bending or shear stress (blue and orange respectively)

(b) The panel slenderness ratio H/t has been limited to 50 per recommendations in the NDS. “NA” represents Wall Panel

heights exceeding this slenderness ratio.

(c) A dash (-) signifies that the corresponding Wall Panel and height do not meet a 5 psf minimum out-of-plane

transverse load

COMBINED BENDING AND AXIAL LOADING Walls are commonly subject to a combination of loads including axial and out-of-plane transverse. Using the values in the

following tables and the Unity Equation below in accordance with NDS 3.9-3, the capacity of wall panels subject to various

loading conditions may be determined. The Specifying Designer shall ensure correlation of load duration factors while using

the Unity Equation for axial and transverse loading.

fa = design axial load (plf)

Fa = allowable axial load (plf)

fb = design transverse load (psf)

Fb = allowable transverse load (psf)

PRELIMINARY SIZING SPECIFICATIONS

GENERAL Tables presented in the Preliminary Sizing section of this Specification Guide are based on single spans and equal adjacent

two span conditions. Tables were generated based on full, uniform loading conditions for the Load Combinations noted.

Partial or patterned loading has not been considered. Composite action between a concrete topping and CLT Panels was not

considered for strength or deflection in the preparation of the tables. Floor vibration is neglected.

Post fire CLT design properties have been developed using provisions outlined in the National Design Specification (NDS) for

Wood Construction Chapter 16 and American Wood Council’s Technical Report No. 10 – Calculating the Fire Resistance of

Wood Members and Assemblies. Contact SmartLam for more information regarding the derivation of post fire flatwise

bending ASD reference design values.

LOADING AND LOAD COMBINATIONS Tables account for CLT self weight.

A reduction in self weight has been considered due to charring – post fire.

Load Combinations D + L

CAPACITY ADJUSTMENT FACTORS AND DESIGN CONSTANTS Load Duration Adjustment Factors, CD

Live Load 1.0

Other Load Duration Factors may not be assumed

Shear Deformation Constants, Ks

Single Span 11.5

Two Span 15.6

Effective Char Depths

2-hour 3.8 in

All CLT layups are composed with 1-3/8” thick laminations

Fire Adjustment Factors

Bending Strength, Kb 2.85

Shear Strength, Kv 2.75

Tabulated Creep deflection spans are based on a Total Load deflection limit of L/240 and time dependent deformation factor,

Kcr = 2.0

TABLE NOTES (a) Tabulated CLT layups are the minimum governed by bending strength, shear strength or deflection.

(b) Deflection limits

Live Load = L/360

Total Load and Creep = L/240

Deflection has not been considered for fire design

LATERAL SPECIFICATIONS

GENERAL Tables presented in the Lateral section of this Specification Guide have been analytically derived by SmartLam. Based on

historic, empirical test data, the values calculated using industry accepted design concepts are conservative. SmartLam does

not certify the design values provided for final design or construction and the Specifying Designer shall be responsible to

ensure that the design meets all the requirements set forth in the local Building Code.

Allowable in-plane shear stresses and capacities have been derived using Section 3 NDS methodology to provide guidance for

the preliminary design of CLT panels resisting in-plane shear forces. Tabulated values conservatively ignore capacity increases

due to torsional force transfer at glued interfaces.

In-plane effective shear stiffnesses have been derived using equations in accordance with M. Flaig and H.J. Blaβ’s research:

Shear Strength and Shear Stiffness of CLT-Beams Loading in Plane. The following parameters were used in calculations.

EFFECTIVE SHEAR STIFFNESS PARAMETERS Assumed Glue Slip Modulus, K 5 N/mm2 (18,420 lb/in3)

Width of Lamination, b 5.25 in

CLT Panel Size 8’6” x 40’0”

ADJUSTMENT FACTORS AND DESIGN CONSTANTS FOR ALLOWABLE PROPERTIES Tabulated values are based on the following load duration and may be increased in accordance with the NDS up to 1.6

Load Duration Adjustment Factors, CD

Normal Load Duration 1.0

TABLE NOTES (a) Shear stress and shear capacity values represent Allowable Stress Design (ASD)

(b) Shear stress and shear capacity values are based on the gross cross section

(c) Shear stiffness values are based on a panel width of 10 ft and lamination thickness of 5.25 in

SHEAR STRESS TO SHEAR CAPACITY CONVERSION Ve,0 = (tp x 12 in/ft) x Fv,e,0

Ve,90 = (tp x 12 in/ft) x Fv,e,90
