RISDevelopment of Timber Buckling Restrained Brace for Mass Timber-Braced Frames
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This research presents the development of a mass timber buckling restrained brace (T-BRB) that combines a low yield strength steel core with a mass timber casing to create a new ductile fuse. The T-BRB is an essential ...
Design and Cyclic Experiments of a Mass Timber Frame with a Timber Buckling Restrained Brace
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Mass timber buildings are increasing in popularity as the building industry aims to use more sustainable construction materials. A lateral force resisting system with a mass timber frame and a timber buckling restrained ...
Seismic Performance of Timber Frames with Timber Buckling-Restrained Braces
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The building industry requires the development of a ductile lateral force–resisting system made of mass timber to allow mass timber to continue to grow in popularity as the primary structural building material. A timber ...
Experimental Characterization of Cantilever Cross-Laminated Timber Diaphragms under In-Plane Shear Load
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Diaphragms transfer the forces exerted by lateral loads to vertical elements through an in-plane shear action. Cross-laminated timber (CLT) has garnered considerable interest as a diaphragm material, particularly for midrise ...
Nonlinear Models of Multistory Timber Frames with Timber Buckling-Restrained Braces
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The building industry requires the development of a ductile lateral force resisting system made of mass timber to help mass timber to continue to grow in popularity as the primary structural building material. The OpenSees ...
Rocking Behavior of High-Aspect-Ratio Cross-Laminated Timber Shear Walls: Experimental and Numerical Investigation
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is a mass timber product that has recently garnered considerable attention for lateral-force resisting system (LFRS) applications. The main objectives of this study were to investigate the ...
Damage Assessment of a Full-Scale Six-Story Wood-Frame Building Following Triaxial Shake Table Tests
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In the summer of 2009, a full-scale midrise wood-frame building was tested under a series of simulated earthquakes on the world’s largest shake table in Miki City, Japan. The objective of this series of tests was to validate ...
Experimental Seismic Behavior of a Full-Scale Four-Story Soft-Story Wood-Frame Building with Retrofits. I: Building Design, Retrofit Methodology, and Numerical Validation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Soft-story wood-frame buildings have been recognized as a disaster preparedness problem for decades. There are tens of thousands of these multifamily three- and four-story structures throughout California and other parts ...

Experimental Seismic Behavior of a Full-Scale Four-Story Soft-Story Wood-Frame Building with Retrofits. II: Shake Table Test Results
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Soft-story wood-frame buildings have been recognized as a disaster preparedness problem for decades. The majority of these buildings were constructed from the 1920s to the 1960s and are prone to collapse during moderate ...
