In recent decades, there is a trend in Scandinavian countries to build multi-storey residential
houses using prefabricated timber modules. It is a highly efficient construction process with …

Light-frame timber shear walls have been used as load-bearing elements in buildings for
several decades. To predict the performance of such structural elements under loading …

Timber post and beam structure is typical frame construction with a simple structural system
and clear force transmission path. This work studies the seismic performance of glued …

Fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composites could be an alternative of traditional materials for
modular construction due to their superior strength to weight ratio, corrosion resistance and …

This research presents hybrid steel-timber shear walls (HSTSWs) as an environmentally
friendly and structurally efficient system. The HSTSW system provides quick and easy …

This study investigates the impact of sheathing panel cracks on the structural performance of
light-frame, modular-based timber buildings, focusing on the racking stiffness and strength of …

Structures built with prefabricated timber modules have been recognised as an innovative
construction method and have been implemented in several countries and regions. In recent …

This paper presents the results of an experimental and a numerical study on the OSB-LVL
joints and light OSB sheathed-LVL stud walls. The joints and the walls were comprised of …

The seismic performance of reinforced concrete (RC) shear walls with post-openings is
critical in civil engineering. This study investigates the influence of post-opening positions on …

This paper focuses mainly on the mechanical behaviour of unclassified cross-laminated
timber walls under lateral loading (seismic and wind loads). Unclassified wooden planks …
