In 2014, the Joint World Conference on Wood and Forest Engineering in Quebec, Canada, listed 8 sessions and more than 56 presentations on CLT research, showing global interest in the material.
Based on these data it can be seen the degree of involvement of the institutions focused on civil construction area in relation to the development and dissemination of the CLT.
On the other hand, the awareness of the engineers and architects on the subject was considered high and very high, respectively.
In Brazil, although there is still no scientific basis that can verify the level of knowledge of the professionals working on engineering and civil construction on the CLT system, it can be deduced that the level of knowledge is very low.

Limit Bearing Capacity Analysis of Structure System with Different Types of Element using Elastic Modulus Reduction Method Wei Zhanga, Lufeng Yangb and Liwen Liuc Key Laboratory of Disaster Prevention and Structural Safety, Ministry of Education, School of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Guangxi University, Nanning, 530004, China azh.ei@163.com, blfyang@gxu.edu.cn, cliuliwen030@163.com Keywords: Limit Bearing Capacity; Structure System; Different Types of Element; Elastic Modulus Reduction Method Abstract.
The mathematical programming methods and the elastic modulus adjustment procedures have developed rapidly [1-3], and some methods have been in the field of popularization and application of civil engineering [4-6].
The ECM has been widely used for simplicity and accuracy, and was recommended as a fundamental algorithm of plastic limit analysis by American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers and European Standard.
Yang and his co-workers evaluated the limit loads in civil engineering by the ECM and presented detailed parameter studies [9, 10].
The civil engineering structures usually have complicated configuration in material and geometric properties, so that they are usually dispersed into the assemblage of many types of element in numerical methods to meet the requirements of simplification and accuracy.
