Global state of knowledge on human-induced sound and vibration events: defining future research directions for mass timber products

Journal of Wood Science
Despite the rise in mass timber buildings globally, challenges remain with timber’s limitations in low-frequency sound and vibration. This is due to timber’s lower density compared to concrete and steel, leading to natural frequencies more susceptible to

Phase-Resolved Reorganization of Seismic Load Paths in a Full-Scale Mass-Timber Rocking-Wall Building

Buildings
Self-centering rocking systems redistribute seismic demand as contact conditions at structural interfaces change during excitation. Conventional peak-response measures, global-response model calibration, and system-identification summaries can obscure ...

Long-Term Bending Behaviour of Adhesive CLT Panel-to-Panel Connections

Buildings
The growing interest in point-supported cross-laminated timber (CLT) floor systems and the desire for open space designs led to the development of on-site adhesive solutions such as the TS3™ system, which joins panels along their minor-axis direction ...
