Short description (German)	Fire safety of cross-laminated timber
Short description (English)
Abstract (German)	Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is an emerging product for high quality modern timber buildings. However, because of severe concerns about the fire behaviour of CLT, its use has strongly been questioned. The project aims at the development of a fire safe CLT allowing an increased use for buildings.
