Currently, there is no “timber moment frame structural system,” as the basic glulam beam‐to‐
column connections (usually represented by the bolted connections with slotted‐in steel …

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 …

The use of bio-based building materials can reduce the pressure on the environment. As bio-
based materials, timber and bamboo can be combined to produce excellent building …

This study comprehensively studied the bolt bearing behavior on the influence of friction
based self-centering prestressed concrete (SCPC) frames. Based on the mechanism and …

Self-centering heavy timber frames rely on the self-centering beam-column timber
connections to limit damage and provide the recentering capability. However, low …

This paper experimentally and numerically investigates the effect of pre-tightening forces on
bolted connection for double-lap FRP-steel joints, considering varied levels of pre-tightening …

Conventional eccentric braced frames often sustain large residual deformations and
significant damages after strong earthquakes which may lead to heavy damages or even …

A precast concrete frame with replaceable energy-dissipating connectors (REDC-PCF) is
proposed in this paper. The replaceable energy dissipating connectors (REDCs) are …

Telecommunication system is one of the critical lifeline systems for national life and post-
earthquake emergency response. Telecommunication equipment is the necessary …

This paper presents a novel type of hybrid self-centering braces incorporating tension-only
superelastic NiTi shape memory alloy (SMA) cables and integrated viscoelastic dampers …
