RISConnections for Timber–Concrete Hybrid Building: Experimental and Numerical Model Results
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In seismically active regions, the use of timber–reinforced concrete (RC) hybrid construction can overcome the structural limitations that occur with timber construction. This paper investigates three connections used in ...
Seismic Performance of CLT Shear Wall Infilled Hybrid Steel Frames with Concealed Steel Plates and Drift Pin Connections
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The rapid growth of urban populations and the environmental concerns associated with this growth challenge city planners and developers to consider more sustainable building systems. In Japan, the recent change in the law ...
Flow Distributions and Discharge Coefficient Effects for Jet Array Impingement With Initial Crossflow
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Two-dimensional arrays of circular air jets impinging on a surface parallel to the jet orifice plate are considered. The jet flow, after impingement is constrained to exit in a single direction ...
Shake Table Test of Full-Size Wooden Houses versus Wall Test Result: Comparison of Load-Deformation Relationship
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The design procedure considered in the Japanese code for low-rise timber houses (two or fewer stories), is through a wall volume method. The wall volume method entails calculating the shear capacity of each wall through ...
Seismic Testing and Analysis of Rocking Motions of Japanese Post-and-Beam Construction
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: From our investigation of the experimental seismic response of post-and-beam wooden buildings with different column joints, we developed a nonlinear three-dimensional distinct element model that is capable of time-history ...
Relative Seismic Risk Evaluation of Various Buildings Based on an Input Wave Field
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Seismic responses of various buildings are calculated by a three-dimensional (3D) linear method for examining the soil-building interaction based on an input seismic wave field in the reclaimed zone of Tokyo Bay in which ...
Timber–Reinforced Concrete Core Hybrid System: Shake Table Experimental Test
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Seismic Responses of Two RC Buildings and One Wood Building Based on an Input Wave Field
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A recently proposed three-dimensional (3D) linear method for examining soil-building interactions based on an input seismic wave field is, after some improvements, applied to estimate seismic building responses in the ...
Experimental Seismic Response of a Japanese Conventional Wooden House Using 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake Records
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Immediately after the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake series, a detailed damage assessment of more than 2,500 wooden houses was conducted at Mashiki Town, Kumamoto. Severe structural and nonstructural components damages were ...
Experimental Seismic Response of a Full-Scale Six-Story Light-Frame Wood Building
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In July 2009, a full-scale midrise light-frame wood apartment building was subjected to a series of earthquakes at the world’s largest shake table in Miki, Japan. This article focuses on the test results of that full-scale ...
