RISQuantitative Insight into Rational Tornado Design Wind Speeds for Residential Wood-Frame Structures Using Fragility Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Tornadoes are an extremely devastating natural hazard that have significant consequences but are currently not considered in the structural design codes due to their low probability of occurrence. These low-occurrence ...
Lateral Load Testing of a Full-Scale Cross-Laminated Timber Diaphragm
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Despite being introduced in Europe nearly 20 years ago, cross-laminated timber (CLT) is still not widely used in North America, and it has only recently garnered attention as a new construction material in the US. One ...
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 ...
Experimental Dynamic Testing of Full-Scale Light-Frame-CLT Wood Shear Wall System
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper will present the results of a shake table experimental test program that focuses on the testing of a one-story full-scale wood shear wall system composed of a post-tensioned rocking cross-laminated timber (CLT) ...
Seismic Performance Factors for Cross-Laminated Timber Shear Wall Systems in the United States
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Seismic force resisting systems based on cross-laminated timber (CLT) shear walls have garnered considerable attention for in mid-rise construction around the world. The purpose of this study was to determine seismic ...
