This paper discusses the design principles of timber connections for ductility with focus on
laterally-loaded dowel-type fasteners. Timber connections are critical components of timber …

In the last two decades, mass timber structures have gained popularity in mid-rise or tall
building applications worldwide. For timber buildings in seismic regions, it is critical to …

Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is increasingly being used in lateral load resisting systems of
multi-storey buildings. Conventional in-plane CLT shear walls can be transformed into CLT …

'Mass timber'engineered wood products in general, and cross-laminated timber in particular,
are gaining popularity in residential, non-residential, as well as mid-and high-rise structural …

This experimental study investigates cyclic performance of a timber-steel hybrid structural
system consisting of glulam frames and buckling restrained braces (BRBs). The BRBs are …

Post-tensioned (PT) timber technology-also called Pres-Lam technology-can provide
increased strength/stiffness for mass timber seismic load resisting systems while also …

The structural performance of nailed hold-down connection systems used for cross-
laminated timber (CLT) shear walls under monotonic and cyclic loading was experimentally …

This paper presents an experimental study to assess the structural performance of dowelled
cross-laminated timber (CLT) hold-down connections that are critical components for a CLT …

Mass timber products such as cross-laminated timber (CLT) are continuously gaining
popularity in the construction industry due to their low carbon footprint, high strength-to …

This paper reports the comprehensive test and numerical models assessments for uniaxial
cyclic behaviors of standard bracket connections for cross-laminated timber (CLT). Five …
