Performance of a 2-Story CLT House Subjected to Lateral Loads
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A 2-story full-scale model of a cross-laminated timber (CLT) house was tested under quasi-static monotonic and cyclic loading. The primary objectives were to investigate 3D system performance of a CLT structure subjected ...
Performance of a 2-Story CLT House Subjected to Lateral Loads
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A 2-story full-scale model of a cross-laminated timber (CLT) house was tested under quasi-static monotonic and cyclic loading. The primary objectives were to investigate 3D system performance of a CLT structure subjected ...
Connection and System Ductility Relationship for Braced Timber Frames
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Braced timber frames (BTFs) are an efficient lateral load-resisting system for wind and seismic loads. This paper derived a relationship between the connection ductility and the system ductility of concentric BTFs based ...
Seismic Response of Braced Heavy Timber Frames with Riveted Connections
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Braced timber frames (BTFs) are one the most efficient lateral load–resisting systems to resist earthquake and high wind loads. Design guidelines for this system currently do not exist in Canadian wood design standards. ...
Theoretical Building Height Limits of Balloon Mass Timber Shear Wall Systems
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Balloon-type mass timber shear walls are one of the most efficient structural systems to resist lateral loads induced by earthquakes or high winds. They are a viable solution for high-rise buildings because they have several ...
Group Effects for Shear Connections with Self-Tapping Screws in CLT
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels, when used as shear walls or diaphragms, are commonly connected with multiple (n) dowel-type fasteners in a row. For such connections, it is frequently observed that the load-carrying ...
Structural Performance of CLT Shear Walls with Hyperelastic Hold Downs
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Cross-laminated timber (CLT) provides a solution for numerous structural applications, including entire seismic force resisting systems. The primary objective of the research presented herein was to develop a CLT shear ...
Structural Performance of Post-Tensioned CLT Shear Walls with Energy Dissipators
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The prestressed-laminated timber (Pres-Lam) system is an innovative low-damage wood-hybrid system that utilizes post-tensioned (PT) mass timber components, e.g., laminated veneer lumber (LVL), glued laminated timber ...
Quantifying the Ductility-Related Force Modification Factor for 10-Story Timber–RC Hybrid Building Using FEMA P695 Procedure and Considering the 2015 NBC Seismic Hazard
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In this work, a 10-story uncoupled (10S-U) hybrid seismic force resisting system, consisting of cross-laminated timber (CLT) walls and reinforced concrete (RC) beams, is considered. Required design ductility factor Rd, in ...
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 ...
