The number and nature of hysteretic responses typically exhibited by mechanical systems
and materials are so huge that their modeling and identification are usually carried out on an …

The present study is done to perform the optimal design of the structural components of the
buildings against the unwanted wind load exerted on their outer face. To this end, the case …

Rocking structural systems have been proposed as a promising solution for designing
resilient building structures. These low-damage systems can prevent significant economic …

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 …

A recent analytical model of hysteresis, developed by the authors to simulate a great variety
of complex uniaxial rate-independent mechanical hysteresis phenomena, is reformulated in …

Pinching characterizes the hysteretic response of several structural systems. It is associated
with a reduced dissipated hysteretic energy under cyclic loading and can significantly affect …

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

This paper presents a direct displacement-based design (DDBD) approach for the buckling
restrained braces (BRBs) braced glue-laminated timber (glulam) frame (BRBGF) structures …

The weak properties of wood in perpendicular-to-grain direction have imposed significant
design challenges for post-tensioned (PT) timber frame structures. To resolve the …

Abstract Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) and Light Timber Frame (LTF) shear walls are
widespread constructive technologies in timber engineering. Despite the intrinsic …
