Abstract: The flexural behavior of rectangular masonry sections is investigated by considering nonlinear stress-strain in compression and limited-tension material. A preliminary analysis shows that, with variation in the parameters ...

Abstract: Cross-laminated timber (CLT) buildings are constructed by connecting CLT panels with dowel-type fasteners and mechanical anchors, which govern the lateral behavior of these structures. Although these connections are mostly ...

Abstract: Due to the high in-plane stiffness and strength capacity of cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels, the mechanical behavior of CLT shear walls is mainly influenced by the mechanical performances of the connections. Several ...
