![]() ![]() The building layout uses outriggers at certain intervals, integrated tension cables and CLT structural wall elements in the facades. Timber can become an alternative in rapidly expanding cities, where there is a need for high apartment buildings. In this paper, an analysis is given of how a concrete core and CLT walls can be used to design very tall buildings in the range of up to 150 meters, but for more than 80% made of timber products. CLT has already been shown to be very efficient in multi-storey buildings up to 10 storeys. One such new possibility is the use of CLT elements in a combination with a concrete core and structural outriggers in very high buildings, a ́wood-concrete skyscrapeŕ. Developments are still going on rapidly and new possibilities and new applications far from being exhausted. With lengths up to 16 meters and the possibility of extending with mechanical joints or glued connections, widths of up to 2.5 meters depending on manufacturer and thicknesses up to 500 mm, almost any necessary shape can be found on the market today. Cross Laminated Timber (CLT, XLAM) is a product extremely well suited for multi-storey buildings because of its versatility.
