RISExperimental Characterization of Monotonic and Cyclic Loading Responses of CLT Panel-To-Foundation Angle Bracket Connections
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Cross laminated timber (CLT) is an engineered wood plate product suitable for the construction of shear walls in low-rise and medium-rise residential and commercial buildings. CLT shear walls are attached to foundations ...
Ductile Design of Glued-Laminated Timber Beams
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Ductility is a fundamental component in the design of robust structures. For timber structures, the unfavorable material characteristics pose particular problems to its realization. Two approaches for improving the ...
Field Testing of Flexible Timber Diaphragms in an Existing Vintage URM Building
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: It is well known that the in-plane behavior of flexible timber diaphragms has a large influence on the global earthquake response of unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings. The type and the activation of out-of-plane URM ...
Experimental Cyclic Response of a Novel Friction Connection for Seismic Retrofitting of RC Buildings with CLT Panels
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The seismic vulnerability of existing RC framed buildings in seismic-prone areas requires affordable and practice-oriented solutions for their retrofitting. In this paper, the authors present a retrofitting solution for ...
Reliability-Based Assessment of LTF and CLT Shear Walls under In-Plane Seismic Loading Using a Modified Bouc-Wen Hysteresis Model
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper reports on the reliability-based assessment of light timber frame (LTF) and cross-laminated timber (CLT) shear walls. The outcomes of cyclic tests on 17 timber shear wall specimens calibrate the parameters of a ...
