Experimental study on the dynamic response of mass timber post-and-beam frames under a column removal scenario

, 2021
In recent years, mid-rise to tall mass timber buildings gained international popularity. To ensure robust buildings and the safety of human lives, such buildings are required to be designed to resist progressive collapse.

This is hardcore: CNC prototypes for timber cores [Elektronisk resurs] : Designing multi-storey timber buildings from the inside out

, 2014
No architect will make a dent in the universe by designing an excellent services shaft or HVAC system, and yet architects could certainly do a lot worse than focusing on redefining the hidden innards supporting our built environment.

Seismic performance evaluation of mass timber buildings equipped with resilient and conventional friction devices

Resilient Cities and Structures
The application of mass timber elements in different structures has gained publicity over the last few years, primarily due to climate change adaptation policies and net zero carbon targets. Timber is a renewable construction material that can outperform

Building Sustainably: Mass Timber (September 2023) [PDF]

, 2023
Mass timber is an umbrella term for a class of engineered wood building materials, including those created by layering and bonding wood. The best-known example of mass timber is cross-laminated timber, which can be made from small-diameter or diseased ...

Effect of shear wall type on seismic performance of steel-wood hybrid structure

上海师范大学学报. 自然科学版
Hybrid steel frame and timber shear wall structure was a green and low-carbon structural system suitable for multi-story buildings. Timber shear walls could be divided in two types:light wood-framed shear wall and mass timber shear wall. A basis could be

Influence of Point-Supported Steel-to-Timber Interface Parameters on the Structural Fire-Resistance of Mass Timber Plates

Buildings
Point-supported connections are an innovative modern connection design that can benefit from the 2-way structural action of cross-laminated timber (CLT) slabs, which is typically not considered in traditional timber design.

Mass Timber and the Disruption of the Building Sector

Over the past decade, the resurgence of engineered wood products, such as cross-laminated timber for buildings, has inspired a change in the way we build. Driven by an effort of the construction sector to become more sustainable and have lower carbon impacts, cross-laminated timber presented an opportunity to try to build better.
