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 …

Multiple physical variables potentially affect the friction coefficient of Asymmetric Friction
Connections (AFC). This paper discusses the cyclic response of a class of AFC subjected to …

The use of rocking walls with seismic fuses is an efficient solution for mass timber structures.
This paper presents and compares mass timber wall systems with different types of seismic …

This paper attempts to formulate an expression for the estimation of equivalent viscous
damping (EVD) for cross-laminated timber (CLT) structural archetypes as a function of …

Balloon-framed cross-laminated timber (CLT) construction has a number of advantages
when compared to platform-type construction; however, many international standards only …

In this study, an experimental and numerical examination was conducted on the fabrication
of bracket structures for application in the 13L 123 KV cross-arm. Brackets structure has …

Cross-laminated timber (CLT) structures offer a prospective solution to mid-and high-rise
buildings. This paper reports experimental research on the lateral performance of CLT shear …

Bridges may suffer large residual displacements after a severe earthquake, which
significantly impedes the post-quake rescue activities. It is imperative to minimize the …

Studies have shown that repairing damaged structures and rebuilding them after an
earthquake, especially in densely populated cities, can impose severe financial and …
