Hybridized framing to modify load paths and enhance wood shearwall performance

Creator:

Bultena, Sarah M.

Abstract:

Heavy timber framing relies primarily on bracing to withstand lateral loads due to earthquakes and wind events. Bracing configurations in heavy timber framed buildings vary widely and include cross bracing, knee bracing, and other geometries. Many heavy timber frames constructed during colonial American times are still standing, exceeding the expected...

A Methodological Approach for Structural Health Monitoring of Mass-Timber Buildings Under Construction

Creator:

Baas, Esther J.

Abstract:

As mass-timber building construction rises around the globe, there exists the need to verify the long-term, in-situ behavior and performance of these structural systems. Structural health monitoring (SHM), generally defined as a damage detection strategy consisting of a network of sensors, a data acquisition system, and algorithms for data analysis,...

AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Esther J. Baas for
Effects of reference displacement and damage accumulation in wood shear walls subjected to the CUREE protocol

Creator:

Langlois, Jeffrey D.

Abstract:

The objectives of this study are: (1) to evaluate the effect of reference displacement on wall behavior under fully reversed cyclic loading using the CUREE test protocol and (2) to assess damage accumulation (visible fastener damage and stiffness degradation) for the imposed drift levels. All tests were conducted on identical...
