Toward a morphological typology of high-rise timber buildings: a comparative analysis of 79 global cases

open access: yesDiscover Civil Engineering
High-rise timber buildings are gaining global prominence as sustainable alternatives to conventional high-rise construction. While prior research has examined aspects such as spatial efficiency, core configurations, and structural systems individually ...

A Parametric Study of Tall Timber Buildings

open access: yes, 2020
DynaTTB er et forskningsprosjekt som fokuserer på den dynamiske responsen til høye trehus påvirket av laster i bruksgrensetilstanden. Et av målene til prosjektet er å identifisere effekten ulike stivhets-, masse- og dempningsparametere har på den dynamiske responsen av bygget.

Disproportionate Collapse Mitigation in Tall Mass Timber Buildings

open access: yesModular 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.

Sustainable and Seismically Resilient Confined Masonry: Global Progress in Research and Design Practice

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 4, November 2026.
Modern confined masonry (CM) construction consists of masonry walls confined by reinforced concrete (RC) tie‐columns and tie‐beams. When built correctly, CM buildings have shown good performance in earthquake's shaking. Even though CM construction has been practised for almost a century in some Latin American countries, its use and standardisation are ...

Fragility Functions for Plasterboard‐Sheathed Walls in Light Timber‐Framed Residential Houses

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 4, November 2026.
In New Zealand, plasterboard‐sheathed walls (PSWs) are commonly used as partition walls and seismic bracing walls in low‐rise light timber‐framed (LTF) residential houses. A significant barrier to assessing seismic losses of the LTF residential houses in New Zealand is the lack of fragility functions of these PSWs.

Forest thinning creates short‐term roosting opportunities for northern long‐eared bats in central hardwood forests

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 11, November 2026.
Reconciling timber production with the habitat requirements of forest‐dependent wildlife is a challenge for biodiversity conservation. In managed Central Hardwood Forests of the United States, female northern long‐eared bats (Myotis septentrionalis) selected tree roosts near ridgetops and management features, including recently created regeneration ...

Dynamic response of tall timber buildings under service load : results from the dynattb research program

open access: yes, 2023
Wind-induced dynamic excitation is a governing design action determining size and shape of modern Tall Timber Buildings (TTBs). The wind actions generate dynamic loading, causing discomfort or annoyance for occupants due to the perceived horizontal sway,

Surrogating and Calibrating Finite Element Models of Tall Timber Buildings.

open access: yesERCIM News, 2020
As the number of tall wooden buildings increases, a good understanding of their dynamic behaviour becomes important. This calls for the collection of empirical data, namely in-situ measured dynamic responses, to enable the calibration of finite element models, the use of surrogates, Bayesian structural identification and uncertainty quantification.As ...
