High-capacity hold-down for mass-timber buildings

Construction and Building Materials, 2018
Abstract Engineered mass-timber products such as cross-laminated timber enable the use of timber as structural material in tall buildings. One of the advantages of using timber is the reduction in weight and the resulting reduction in foundation costs.

Dynamic Response of Tall Mass-Timber Buildings to Wind Excitation

Journal of Structural Engineering, 2020
AbstractThe use of timber panels to construct the lateral and gravity load resisting systems of tall mass-timber buildings makes them lightweight and less stiff than buildings made from conventiona...

Experimental study on the quasi-static progressive collapse response of post-and-beam mass timber buildings under an edge column removal scenario

open access: yesEngineering Structures, 2021
Mid-rise to tall mass timber buildings are becoming internationally popular and are required, for instance in the Eurocode or the Australian building code, to be designed against progressive collapse.

Experimental investigations of connections for robustness of mass timber buildings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Recent growth in mass timber construction has raised concerns about preventing disproportionate and progressive collapse, emphasizing the need for performance-based design due to general lack of understanding the behaviour of mass timber connections under extreme load and deformations.

Recycling Potential Comparison of Mass Timber Constructions and Concrete Buildings: A Case Study in China

open access: yesSustainability, 2022
The recycling potential (RP) indicates the ability of building materials to form a closed-loop material flow, that is, the material efficiency during its whole life cycle.

The embodied carbon of mass timber and concrete buildings in Australia: An uncertainty analysis

open access: yesBuilding and Environment, 2022
This research uses uncertainty analysis to determine and compare the range of embodied carbon outcomes of mid-rise mass timber and concrete buildings in Australia.

Structural Systems for Mass Timber Buildings

IABSE Reports, 2019
<p>This paper investigates the design of lateral force resisting systems (LFRS) for multi-story mass timber structures in Boston, MA. Structural and environmental tradeoffs of replacing conventional concrete cores or steel braced frames with glue-laminated timber (GLT) braced frames are evaluated through numerical analyses of 8-, 12-, and 18 ...

Water Mist Systems in Protection of Mass Timber Buildings

2020
Water mist systems are considered for the protection of timber buildings because they use significantly less amounts of water and consequently less post-water damage. Current water mist system standards and testing protocols do not consider fire scenarios involving exposed timber elements, which pose greater fire load and hazards.

Scaling effect on the moment and shear responses of three types of beam-to-column connectors used in mass timber buildings

open access: yesEngineering Structures, 2020
To fully understand the structural behaviour of large structural systems under given loading scenarios, experimental testing of the entire system or of a representative part of it is often required.
