The analytical approach, once verified with the test data, offers a more general and less costly alternative. An ana- lytical approach generally predicts strength and stiffness properties of CLT panels based on the input material properties of the laminate boards that make up the CLT panel. Proposed methods by Europeans are described in detail in FPInnovations CLT Handbook [1]. The shear analogy method has been adopted by ANSI PRG 320 for determining the bending and shear strength and stiffness of various lay-ups [2].
