Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is a type of engineered wood product that offers both high in-plane and out-of-plane load-bearing capacity. It is slowly becoming an alternative material for building high-rise structures. However, there is no current standard or regulation for determining the shear modulus of CLT under in-plane loading condition, which is a very important property for its use as structural members. Few methods have been proposed over the last decade to determine the in-plane shear modulus of CLT. Almost all of the methods proposed until now have their strengths and weaknesses. In this paper, some of the prominent methods for determining the in-plane shear modulus of CLT are described and analysed. The descriptions along with the critical discussions will facilitate a better understanding and might pave the way to further enhancements of the method(s) to determine the in-plane shear modulus of CLT.

预测交叉层压木材 (CLT) 有效面内剪切模量的方法综述

交叉层压木材 (CLT) 是一种工程木制品，可提供高平面内和平面外的承载能力。它正慢慢成为建造高层结构的替代材料。然而，目前还没有确定面内载荷条件下 CLT 剪切模量的标准或规定，这是其用作结构构件的一个非常重要的特性。在过去的十年中，几乎没有提出确定 CLT 面内剪切模量的方法。迄今为止，几乎所有提出的方法都有其优点和缺点。在本文中，描述和分析了一些用于确定 CLT 面内剪切模量的主要方法。
