Designfire
t Fire resistance achieved by calculation of charring rates, generally (...for KLH): 0.64 mm/min for outer layers / 0.76 mm/min for other layers. t For tall timber buildings use min. five layer panels to ensure locally stability of panel and stability of building globally is maintained. t Example: KLH 128 mm five layer wall panel with 34 mm outer layer provides 54 mins with two vertical layers remaining.

Designacoustics
t Overall build-up of a cross laminated structure cannot be considered lightweight, some extra separations are required to achieve an adequate performance. t Across party walls two layers of 9 mm thick plasterboard each side will achieve Building Regulations Part E requirements; externally a 1 cm air gap is needed. t Between floors an acoustic ceiling should be adequate. t Stairs and lift cores double wall construction is desirable with a 4 cm air gap.

Outline
t Eight storeys of cross laminated timber onto RC podium slab at first floor. t Mixture of private and social housing with separate access. t Cellular construction. t A carbon positive footprint over a twenty year period.

Construction facts
t 8 KLH storeys onto reinforced concrete podium slab ...including roof terraces (9th floor). t KLH lift and stair cores independent of KLH structure. t 950 m3 (7000 m2 ) KLH approx. 5 x lighter than< RC...! t WALL panels - 128 mm thick. t FLOOR panels - 146 mm thick. t Erection - 3 days/storey. t Erection team = 4 carpenters...! t 760 Tonnes embodied carbon.

Design issues
t Fire. t Robustness. t Strength. t Movement.

Fire resistance
t Fire resistance is achieved by calculation of charring rates of timber, generally 0.64 mm/min for outer layers and 0.76 mm/min other layers. t All structural elements are required to achieve a minimum fire resistance period.
30 minutes 60 minutes - internal corridors/living space - apartment/apartment - public corridors/apartment 120 minutes - apartment/lift and stair cores
Stadthaus, London
Weak point
t Local bearing stiffeners added.
Designrobustness
Disproportionate Collapse t UK guidance for timber frame construction up to 6 storeys. t No EU guidance. t TRADA/ TFA suggest 7.5 kN/m and notional removal of walls. Efficient redundancy t Floor panels designed to double span or cantilever under accidental loading. t Effective ties between floors and walls using simple off-the-shelf brackets and screws. t High in-plane stiffness and cross lamination process provides built-in redundancy.

Lift shaft
t Lift shaft constructed in CLT and separated from main structure to reduce noise transmission. t Free standing cantilevers at four and eight storeys. t Connections were designed to be simple and repetitive to minimise the amount of checking on site.
Stadthaus, London
Construction
t During the construction panels were not covered to protect them from the weather. t Only panel joints were sealed and end grains covered. t After any rain, standing water was cleared and the solid timber panels were able to air dry. t Covering panels would trap water leading to increase in moisture content of the timber.

Cost savings
t KLH cost is 30% greater than comparable RC frame Programme: t CLT KLH - 49 weeks t RC frame - 66 weeks 17 week reduction t Time savings primarily because KLH load bearing walls are also internal partition walls ie. no stud/block walls

Limits of construction
t Elasticity of timber and its relative softness are critical for future tall timber buildings. t Economic viability hinges on quantity and simplicity of detailing. t Using simple wall/floor/wall construction 15 storeys possible.
Construction options
Thirty storeys?
