  • Cross-laminated timber engineering : improvement and application

    Creator:
    Kramer, Anthonie
    Abstract:
    The development of cross-laminated timber (CLT) panel technology has opened up new opportunities for wood in tall buildings. Several characteristics including seismic performance and speed of construction have raised interest among designers. As CLT gains acceptance in the industry, alternative structural solutions need to be investigated to improve performance of...

  • Performance-based seismic design of light-frame shearwalls

    Creator:
    Kim, Jun Hee
    Abstract:
    Performance-based design has gained interest in recent years among structural designers and researchers. Performance-based design includes selection of appropriate building sites, structural systems and configurations, as well as analytical procedures used in the design process, to confirm that the structure has adequate strength, stiffness and energy dissipation capacity to respond...

  • Steel confined yielding damper for earthquake resistant design

    Creator:
    Newell, James D.
    Abstract:
    An experimental study of a passive energy dissipation tension-compression yielding brace or buckling restrained brace has been conducted. The Confined Yielding Damper (CYD) consists of a steel yielding core confined within a tube filled with non-cohesive media. The external tube and confined non-cohesive media provide lateral stability to the core...
