Abstract
This paper targets the validity of a novel numerical model for analyzing CLT under out of plane loading. This numerical model was initially developed for determining the shear lag effect that appears in laminated thin walled composite beams. A parametric study was conducted in order to determine the influence of orientation of layers in CLT panels on bending strength and deflection. For confirming the accuracy of the proposed model, the results from the numerical model are compared with the external results of the computer software Ansys. The differences in bending stress vary from 0.27% to 1.69% depending on the orientation of layers and for deflection the differences are ranged from 2.25% to 7.42%. A numerical study was conducted and obtained data corresponds to results obtained from experimental study. It was concluded that the proposed numerical method can enough precisely predict the behavior of CLT under out of plane loading.
