Effects of Wall‐to‐Floor Interactions on Seismic Response of Platform‐Type CLT Buildings
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Platform‐type cross‐laminated timber (CLT) buildings feature discontinuous wall segments supported by CLT floors. In practice, CLT floors are often treated as rigid diaphragm, yet the wall‐to‐floor interactions (WFIs) associated with flexibility of floors remain insufficiently investigated during seismic performance assessment.

Development and Analysis of the Control Effect of a Reid Damper with Self-Centering Characteristics
Shock and Vibration, 2018 To improve the recoverability of structures following an earthquake, a Reid friction damper with self-centering characteristics is proposed and its hysteretic behavior is studied by theoretical analysis and experimental research.

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT While cross‐laminated timber (CLT) is increasingly utilized in lateral force‐resisting systems in mass timber construction, research has predominantly focused on platform‐type construction. Balloon‐type CLT shear wall systems offer distinct structural advantages, notably the elimination of cumulative perpendicular‐to‐grain compression and a ...

Modeling the Loading-Rate Dependency of the Hysteretic Dynamics of Magnetorheological Dampers
, 2011 The loading rate dependency of the hysteretic dynamics of Magnetorheological (MR) dampers is investigated in the current paper. The model is constructed on the basis of a phenomenological phase-transition theory. The hysteretic dynamics is treated as the

Tuned-Inerter-Based-Dampers with linear hysteretic damping for earthquake protection of building structures [PDF]
, 2021 The inerter is a two-terminal device that generates a resisting force proportional to the relative acceleration between its two terminals. To date, three main types of inerters have been introduced in the literature based on inertial mass (inertance ...
