Abstract: Bearings used in the seismic isolation of buildings can be subjected to large horizontal deformations combined with high axial loads from overturning forces during strong shaking. Elastomeric bearing design requires an ...

Abstract: While numerous experimental tests have been conducted on single-story cross-laminated timber (CLT) shear walls, research addressing the drift performance of multistory CLT structures remains limited. This paper presents ...

Abstract: Predicting the response of elastomeric seismic isolation bearings when subjected to severe ground motions is challenging due to the highly nonlinear behavior associated with the bearings under a combination of large ...

Abstract: The applicability of the capacity-based design approach to buildings consisting of cross-laminated timber (CLT) shear walls has lacked analytical expressions that depend on the structural type and failure mechanisms. This ...
