NEW: connector / for wooden structures by ROTHO BLAAS

The innovative connection system X-RAD, together with the new assembling method without interposed floors, allows to transfer extremely high tensile and shear stresses through the corners of the wall and floor panels. The simplicity and effectiveness of the resulting structural scheme, open a new frontier for timber structures as it will be possible to realize high-rise buildings that were unimaginable with traditional systems.

X-RAD connection system represents a true revolution within the XLAM (Cross Laminated Timber) construction system. X-RAD system replaces all the connection types used so far (angle brackets, screws etc...) with just one standard connection, suitable for different building typologies and very severe loading conditions.
