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.

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.

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.

A Review of Existing Commercial Mass Timber Buildings in the United States

EPiC Series in Built Environment, 2023
The proliferation of mass timber structures across the United States has begun. So much so, a comprehensive evaluation of key building attributes and identification of trends in built structures can be measured. This study utilizes a comprehensive market analysis of existing commercial mass timber structures to quantify important attributes to gain au ...

QUANTIFYING AND REDUCING EMBODIED CARBON IN THE ACOUSTIC DESIGN OF MASS TIMBER BUILDINGS

Inter-Noise 2022, 2022
An adoption of mass timber construction is the construction industry's best shot at reducing its significantly large contribution to global CO2 emissions. Acoustic design in mass timber buildings typically relies on mass and facing materials in order to meet design criteria, and can account for a high proportion of the embodied carbon (CO2e) per m² on
