RISStructural 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 ...
Criterion for Applying Two-Step Analysis Procedure to Seismic Design of Wood-Frame Buildings on Concrete Podium
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Neither the 2015 National Building Code of Canada (NBCC) nor the 2014 Canadian wood design standard, Engineering design in wood, explicitly provides seismic design guidelines for wood-frame buildings on a concrete podium. ...
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 ...
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 ...
Fire Testing and Modeling of a Novel Hybrid Timber Floor System
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To maximize the amount of carbon-sequestering mass timber and demonstrate the potential for mass timber across a range of building types and scales, DIALOG and EllisDon have developed a hybrid timber floor system (HTFS) ...
Lateral Behavior of Light Wood-Frame Shear Walls with Gypsum Wall Board
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Energy-Dissipation Performance of Typical Beam-Column Joints in Yingxian Wood Pagoda: Experimental Study
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents an experimental investigation on the structural performance of the beam-column joints of Yingxian Wood Pagoda. A scaled model of typical beam-column joints with dovetail tenon-mortise connection was ...
Seismic Performance of a Hybrid Building System Consisting of a Light Wood Frame Structure and a Reinforced Masonry Core
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Story limit of residential light wood-frame buildings in the province of British Columbia was raised from four to six in 2009. The increase in height leads to more flexible buildings, potentially requiring the stiffer ...
