In this paper, an adaptable and architecturally flexible lateral stiffening system for tall timber
buildings between 50 and 147 m is developed and investigated. The system is based on a …

A mass timber lateral force resisting system (LFRS) is proposed using a mass timber
buckling restrained brace (TBRB) to improve the seismic resilience of mass timber buildings …

The main goal of this study was non-destructive evaluation of wooden elements using
ultrasonic waves. The inspection was carried out on wooden beams from a historical object …

The use of friction-based beam-to-column connections (BCCs) for earthquake-resistant
moment-resistant frames (MRFs), aimed at eliminating damage to beam end sections due to …

Ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) harvested from restoration forests in the Pacific
Northwest region of the United States is being considered for use in cross laminated timber …

In response to the increasing need for sustainable construction materials, numerous
innovative timber-based structural systems have been developed in the past two decades …

The cross-laminated timber (CLT) shear-wall and glulam moment-resisting frame (CLTW–
GMRF) dual system is a recently completed research prepared for the British Columbia (BC) …

Due to the environmental friendliness and good architectural aesthetic, large-span timber
structures are increasingly attracting more attentions from both academia and industry …

Moment-resisting frames provide open space and architectural flexibility, yet their
application in multistorey timber buildings is limited. Research on the pullout behaviour of …

In recent years, wood has become an increasingly popular building material for its
environmental friendliness. Large-span timber structures are in high demand, of which the …
