RISInvestigating the Behavior of Light-Frame Wood Stud Walls Subjected to Severe Blast Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An understanding of the behavior of wood stud walls in a region corresponding to hazardous-blowout damage levels is currently lacking. The focus of the current study is on investigating the flexural response of full-scale ...
Behavior and Modeling of Glulam Beams with Bolted Connections Subjected to Shock Tube–Simulated Blast Loads
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: An experimental program investigating the behavior of glued laminated timber (glulam) assemblies with various bolted connections subjected to simulated blast loading was undertaken. A total of 14 full-scale tests on ...
Design of Multipanel CLT Shear Walls with Bidirectional Mechanical Anchors Following Capacity-Based Design Principle
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The applicability of the capacity-based design approach to buildings consisting of cross-laminated timber (CLT) shear walls has lacked analytical expressions that depend on the structural type and failure mechanisms. This ...
Energy-Absorbing Connection for Heavy-Timber Assemblies Subjected to Blast Loads–Concept Development and Application
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper presents the procedure for the development of energy-absorbing connections (EACs) in glued-laminated timber (glulam) and cross-laminated timber (CLT) assemblies to resist the effects of blast explosions. A ...
Nonsway Model for Lateral Torsional Buckling of Wooden Beams under Wind Uplift
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Finite-Element Modeling and Parametric Study of Glulam Beam-and-Deck Floors
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Small-amplitude cyclic vertical motions of timber floors perceived as unacceptable by humans are commonly the result of walking impact forces. Contemporary vibration serviceability guidelines mainly require prediction of ...
Nailed Connection Behavior in Light-Frame Wood Shear Walls with an Intermediate Layer of Insulation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The shear strength and stiffness of light-frame wood shear walls is highly dependent on the behavior of their individual nailed connections. Eighty-four nailed connection specimens were tested under shear loading to determine ...
Nailed Connection Behavior in Light-Frame Wood Shear Walls with an Intermediate Layer of Insulation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The shear strength and stiffness of light-frame wood shear walls is highly dependent on the behavior of their individual nailed connections. Eighty-four nailed connection specimens were tested under shear loading to determine ...
Lateral Torsional Buckling of Wooden Beams with Midspan Lateral Bracing Offset from Section Midheight
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An energy-based solution is developed for the lateral torsional buckling analysis of wooden beams with a midspan lateral brace subjected to uniformly distributed loads or midspan point load. The predicted critical moments ...
Proposed Design Methods for Timber Members Subjected to Blast Loads
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Current blast design provisions for wood members are limited and may unintentionally lead to designs that are too conservative or not sufficiently safe. Novel methodologies for the design of light-frame wood stud walls, ...
