Interest in using timber for construction of multi-storey structures in seismic regions has been
gaining significant momentum worldwide in recent years. As it is not common to use timber …

With the increased number of multi-storey buildings in seismic areas, research efforts have
been focused on developing earthquake resilient systems, such as low-damage techniques …

This article describes tests investigating a feasible source of passive damping for post-
tensioned glue-laminated (glulam) timber structures. This innovative structural system …

This article aims to propose an innovative type of angle to be used in substitution of the hold-
down in cross-laminated timber (CLT) panel buildings. The new connection, called XL-stub …

A recently developed technology for the construction of multi-storey timber buildings called
Pres-Lam uses long lengths of prefabricated laminated timber connected together using pre …

This article presents an experimental campaign on full scale RC beam–column joints
subjected to cyclic loading. A joint specimen, belonging to a 4-storey RC framed building …

The aim of this paper is to analyze the possibility to improve the seismic performance of
cross-laminated timber (CLT) panel buildings introducing in the structure dissipative …

This paper presents a seismic displacement-based design method for post-tensioned timber
(Pres-Lam) framed buildings equipped with passive energy dissipation systems. In …

A reinforced concrete (RC) framed structure detailed according to non-seismic detailing
provisions as per Indian Standard was tested on shake table under dynamic loads. The …

In the past years, extensive experimental work on innovative feasible retrofit solutions has
been carried out at the University of Canterbury, as part of the FRST Project 'Seismic Retrofit …
