The glulam-cross laminated timber (CLT) composite floor is a type of prefabricated composite floor that integrates glulam beams and CLT slab into a unified structure using shear connectors.
CLT, short for cross-laminated timber, and glulam (or GLT), an abbreviation for glue-laminated timber, are both constructed from timber lamellas, also known as lamstock, bonded together with adhesive.
sections (glulam ribs and CLT flange) in unidirectional solutions. Figure 1 present. prefabricated ribbed elements, made with 3 layer CLT plates and glulam ribs. Usually, each. CLT plate (in the range of 2.40 to 2.95m wide) connects with 2 glulam ribs.
(2016) investigated the composite T-beam made of CLT and glulam with self-tapping wood screws. A 6 m span beam was tested and the results were used to validate a computer model.
CLT, like glulam, is an eco-warrior, using less energy to produce panels compared to concrete, masonry, or steel structures. Additionally, CLT is like glulam as it acts as a carbon store within your building for the duration of its lifespan. What are the Benefits of Using CLT?

This paper investigates Timber-Timber Composite (TTC) floor systems made with CLT and glulam under quasi-static monotonic tests including various shear connections for the TTC floors are also investigated.
