Abstract
The project presented in the paper aims at the development ofanew solution for an universal connector in Cross-laminated timber structures, which offers the possibility of quick and easy installation and assembly, as well as easy disassembly and reuse. This solution shall contribute to the necessary reconstruction of the damages in Ukraine and facilitate the quick restoration of housing as well as providingalong-lasting sustainable and circular connection solutions. The developed connector isaunit in the form ofasteel plate on glued-in rods, that are embedded in the CLT panels. This allows to connect CLT panels in various arrangements together or to other building parts such as foundations or concrete cores. Connections with glued-in rods are widely used in Eastern European countries, especially in long-span timber structures for buildings of various types.
