RISNonlinear Numerical Model of Post-Tensioned Elastic Rocking Panels for Application in Building Structural Analysis
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper presents a new 4-node finite element model, developed from a 2-node rocking beam element that can predict the rocking behavior of post-tensioned panels and columns. The stiffness matrix of the 2-node beam element ...
Experimental Investigation and Finite-Element Modeling of an Aluminum Energy Dissipater for Cross-Laminated Timber Walls under Reverse Cyclic Loading
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels with unbonded post-tensioning and a rocking mechanism can be used as a robust lateral load–resisting system (LLRS). The seismic performance of these systems can be improved further by ...
Displacement-Based Design of Buildings with Torsion: Theory and Verification
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Direct displacement design (DDD) is a procedure that allows one to distribute the forces induced by an earthquake to the levels of a multistory building to ensure that the desired level of interstory drift is not exceeded. ...
Performance-Based Wind Engineering for Wood-Frame Buildings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The majority of buildings and the vast majority of residential structures in North America are constructed using light-frame wood. Many of these structures are subjected to high winds along the eastern seaboard and gulf ...
Methodology for Wind-Driven Rainwater Intrusion Fragilities for Light-Frame Wood Roof Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Light-frame wood buildings represent most of residential structures throughout the United States. Approximately half of the U.S. population lives within 50 miles of the coast with many of those dwellings in the Gulf Coast ...
Performance-Based Design of Posttensioned Cross-Laminated Timber and Light-Frame Wood Shear Wall Hybrid System
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Displacement-based design (DBD) methods were originally developed in the 1990s for concrete structures and later modified for light-frame wood buildings and mass timber buildings. DBD methods use displacement as the design ...
Performance of Residential Shelters during the May 20, 2013, Tornado in Moore, Oklahoma
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Residential shelter performance, in the aftermath of the devastating May 20, 2013, EF5 tornado that struck Moore, Oklahoma, was investigated by a reconnaissance team comprised of researchers from several universities. The ...
Numerical Model for Creep Behavior of Axially Loaded CLT Panels
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The performance of post-tensioned rocking cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels depends on the ability to maintain the post-tensioned force in the strand. This post-tensioned force may change over time due to the creep ...
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) ...
