Abstract: A timber-steel hybrid system, where cross-laminated timber (CLT) shear panels are used as infill in steel moment resisting frames, is analytically investigated. The proposed hybrid system combines ductile behavior of steel ...

Abstract: In the direct displacement-based design method, energy dissipative capacity of structures can be represented by an equivalent viscous damping (EVD). A number of studies have been reported in the formulation of EVD for ...

Abstract: In this paper, to supplement the Canadian building code for a timber-steel hybrid structure, over-strength, and ductility-related force modification factors are developed and validated using a collapse risk assessment ...

Abstract: The use of timber panels to construct the lateral and gravity load resisting systems of tall mass-timber buildings makes them lightweight and less stiff than buildings made from conventional construction materials. As a ...
