abstract = "This paper illustrates a research project about the calculation and design of Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) elements stressed by concentrated loads. Its focus lies on the shear design of CLT-elements next to punctual supports including reinforcements with self-tapping screws with continuous threads in areas of high shear stresses. Different influencing parameters on the distribution of shear forces next to a punctual support were evaluated by using comparative FEM-analyses. In the course of laboratory tests material-mechanical principles were determined to consider the interaction of rolling shear stresses and compression perpendicular to the grain. In addition to FEM-simulations several experimental tests were carried out to describe the load bearing behaviour and the strengthening effect of CLT-elements reinforced by self-tapping screws. The investigations aim at developing a design concept including the effects mentioned above.",
