  • 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...

  • Slotted-bolted friction damper as a seismic energy dissipator in a braced timber frame

    Creator:
    Tjahyadi, Alfred
    Abstract:
    Friction dampers have been used successfully to dissipate seismic energy in steel and concrete structures. The application is new to timber structures. The objectives of this research were to design a slotted bolted connection (SBC) and evaluate its potential as a passive energy damper in timber brace. The research was...

  • Site-specific load models and hazards for probability-based design

    Creator:
    Lee, Kyung Ho
    Abstract:
    Structural design codes have evolved continuously since modern codes were established. The allowable stress design format has been widely used since the late 191h century. During the past two decades, probability-based limit states design concepts have evolved and are increasingly being used for various material and structural types. Limit state...
