Experimental progressive collapse response of post-and-beam mass timber buildings under an edge column removal scenario

, 2021
The mechanisms leading to the progressive collapse of reinforced concrete and steel buildings have been widely researched. However, limited studies were carried out on mass timber buildings, a structural system which is internationally becoming popular ...

Apparent sound insulation in mass timber buildings

, 2020
This Report presents the results from experimental studies of the airborne sound transmission of mass timber assemblies, together with an explanation of the calculation procedures to predict the apparent sound transmission class (ASTC) rating between adjacent spaces in a building constructed of mass timber assemblies. The experimental data which is the

Experimental collapse response of post-and-beam mass timber frames under a quasi-static column removal scenario

, 2020
Mid-rise to tall mass timber buildings, which are constructed from engineered solid wood products, such as Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL), Glued laminated timber (Glulam) and Cross Laminated Timber (CLT), have recently gained international popularity.

Comparison of Structural Performance of a Multi-Story Reinforced Concrete Building and Its Equivalent Timber Building

Applied Sciences
An increased interest in decreasing the environmental impact of the construction sector and in vertical urbanization has renewed attention to timber as a primary structural material in multi-story buildings. This study investigated whether an existing 10-

Lateral vibration data of an 18-story timber-concrete hybrid building obtained by on-site vibration tests

Data in Brief, 2023
The dataset provided in this paper includes the lateral vibration data obtained by on-site vibration tests on an 18-story timber-concrete hybrid building, which was completed in 2017 and is located within the University of British Columbia campus in ...

Monitoring Moisture Performance of Cross-Laminated Timber Building Elements during Construction

Buildings, 2019
There are currently no standards regulating water management for mass timber elements during construction, little knowledge of impacts of moisture exposure (wetting and drying performance, dimensional stability, checking), and few precedents serving as ...

Timber buildings with enhanced energy and seismic performance for the Mediterranean region

, 2022
S.3110-3119Timber buildings are characterized by a thermal inertia lower than other technological solutions in construction. For this reason, some configurations may lead to higher cooling demand and poorer energy performance in hot climates, such as the

Experimental study of compartment fire development and ejected flame thermal behavior for a large-scale light timber frame construction

Case Studies in Thermal Engineering, 2021
Most of the previous work focused on fire behavior of non-combustible construction. However, few investigations have systematically addressed fire development and window ejected flame based on large-scale light timber frame construction (LTFC).

Disproportionate Collapse Mitigation in Tall Mass Timber Buildings

Modular and Offsite Construction (MOC) Summit Proceedings, 2019
Tall buildings are a unique type of structure with their own characteristic behaviour. They are most often occupied by a large number of people; therefore, their damage, loss of functionality, or, in worst case scenario, collapse will lead to catastrophic consequences.
