RISControl of Building Sway and Force Flows Using Ultralightweight Slabs
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Design analyses are presented to demonstrate the technical advantages of substituting ultralightweight slab materials like cross-laminated-timber (CLT) for reinforced concrete (RC) floors and roofs of low-rise and high-rise ...
Connection System of Massive Timber Elements Used in Horizontal Slabs of Hybrid Tall Buildings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper discusses connections between Cross-Laminated-Timber (CLT) floor slabs and steel framework of hybrid tall buildings. Using the example of a 24-story building analysis, it is shown that such connections can be ...
Wood and Engineered Wood Product Connections Using Small Steel Tube Fasteners: Applicability of European Yield Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Capacities of wood connections with laterally loaded dowel fasteners by plastic analysis can be predicted using the European yield models (EYM) equation. The underlying concept is that failure occurs due to crushing of ...
Effectiveness of Distributed Mass Damper Systems for Lightweight Superstructures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Distributed mass damper (DMD) systems are discussed as a method of suppressing lateral motions of superstructures during wind storms and earthquakes. Potentially, DMD systems are a technology that is economical enough for ...
