Cross laminated timber (CLT) is a plate-like multi layer element with crosswise arrangement of lamellas. CLT could be used for long-span beams in particular with tensile stresses perpendicular to the beam axis. Within this work, CLT beams were optimised, resulting in diagonal orientated timber (DLT)...
