RISComparison of Lateral Load Performance of Light Wood Diaphragms Built with Sawn Lumber and Wood I-Joists
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Diaphragm design provisions in North America were originally developed based on the performance of diaphragms constructed with sawn lumber framing members. Although these design guidelines have been applied to diaphragms ...
Discussion of “<i>Dynamic Characteristics of Wood and Gypsum Diaphragms</i>” by Robert H. Falk and Rank Y. Itani (June, 1987, Vol. 113, No. 6)
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Testing and Modeling of Wood–Masonry Hybrid Wall Assembly
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Reinforced concrete or masonry cores commonly exist in multistory light wood frame buildings (LWFBs) as elevator shafts and stairwells. These cores are often not accounted for in structural design as part of the lateral ...
Strength Prediction of Mass-Timber Panel Concrete-Composite Connection with Inclined Screws and a Gap
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Mass timber panels (MTPs) are a new generation of engineered wood panels that are available in large plane dimensions to facilitate fast floor construction with the obvious environmental benefit of being from a renewable ...
Finite-Element Model for Wood-Based Floors with Lateral Reinforcements
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Lateral reinforcements can enhance serviceability of wood-based floor systems. However, because of a lack of proper analysis models, the benefit from installing these components has not been fully recognized in floor design. ...
Lateral Resistance of Sheathing-to-Framing Nailed Joints with an Intermediate Insulation Layer
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Lateral resistance of shear walls constructed with wood-based sheathing panels and lumber framing is largely governed by the strength of the sheathing-to-framing nailed joints. In new wall designs, a layer of soft thermal ...
Capacity and Failure-Mode Prediction of Mass Timber Panel–Concrete Composite Floor System with Mechanical Connectors
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Lack of design standards and guidelines is the most important barrier limiting widespread use of mass timber panel–concrete (MTPC) composite floor systems, a preferred choice by designers in modern multistory mass timber ...
Contribution of Partition Walls in Lateral Load–Resisting Systems of Low-Rise Light Wood Frame Buildings
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Prescriptive design is a common practice in North America for low-rise light wood frame buildings. The prescriptive wood-based shear wall details provided in building codes to resist lateral loads were largely derived based ...
Vibration Performance and Stiffness Properties of Mass Timber Panel–Concrete Composite Floors with Notched Connections
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Mass timber panel–concrete composite (MTPCC) floors combine timber and concrete through high-performance connections to create an efficient floor system with high stiffness, high strength, and low self-weight. Previous ...
Novel Panelized Roof Design for Offsite Fabrication of Residential Light-Frame Wood Homes
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Panelized fabrication of light-frame wood buildings has higher productivity than the traditional stick-built method. However, the roof production process is inefficient due to the structural system and construction method. ...
