RISCross-Section Size Effects on Compressive Failure Properties Parallel to Grain of Chinese Larch LVL
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Laminated veneer lumber (LVL), characterized by its efficient utilization of raw materials, flexible size design, extensive prefabrication, and favorable mechanical properties, is an engineering wood frequently employed ...
Evaluation of Racking Performance of Wood Portal Frames with Different Wall Configurations and Construction Details
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The performance of portal frame walls was studied using a finite-element model verified with results from tests of full-size portal frame walls. Parameters such as wall height, metal strap type and location, doubling of ...
Experimental and Analytical Lateral Performance of Posttensioned CLT Shear Walls and Conventional CLT Shear Walls
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is suitable for shear walls owing to its high in-plane stiffness. However, according to a series of shaking table tests on multistory CLT structures, premature connection damage always occurs ...
Potential Loss in Prestressing Tendon Forces under Long-Term Service Conditions: Cross-Laminated Timber Shear Wall Applications
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The seismic performance of post-tensioned cross-laminated timber (CLT) shear walls depends on the existing prestressing tendon force. The prestressing force will change over time because of the time-dependent elastic, ...
Analytical Investigations on the Glulam Beam-to-Column Connections Reinforced with Knee Braces
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The glulam knee-braced frame structure is a type of the post-and-beam construction and has extensive application in real projects. The mechanical performance of the beam-to-column connection reinforced with knee brace has ...
Experimental Testing and Analytical Modeling of Glulam Moment Connections with Self-Drilling Dowels
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: An experimental and analytical study on rotational behavior of glulam beam-column moment connections with self-drilling dowels (SDDs) is conducted. Connection properties including strength, stiffness, ductility, and energy ...
Experimental Investigation on Lateral Performance of Timber-Steel Hybrid Shear Wall Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the lateral performance of timber-steel hybrid shear wall systems. Such systems are composed of steel moment-resisting frames and infill wood-frame shear walls. ...

Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Stability Capacity of Metal Plate Connected Wood Truss Assemblies
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the critical buckling load and lateral bracing force of metal plate connected wood truss assemblies. Material property tests—including the modulus of elasticity ...
Structural Damage Evaluation of Multistory Timber–Steel Hybrid Structures through Shake Table Tests
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Timber-based hybrid structures provide a prospective solution for utilizing environmentally friendly timber material in the construction of midrise or high-rise structures. This study mainly focuses on structural damage ...
