Seismic Laboratory Testing of Energy-Efficient, Staggered-Stud, Wood-Frame Shear Walls

Creator:

Rodriguez-Nikl, Tonatiuh, Gupta, Rakesh, Kramer, Anthonie, and Sinha, Arijit

Abstract:

Residential energy use is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. Reducing energy efficiency in conventional wood-framed houses are thermal bridges: direct paths that allow heat to flow through the studs instead of the insulation. One suggestion for reducing thermal bridging is the staggered stud (SS) wall....

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...
