Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is a wood construction technology that has been utilized in Europe for several decades and has become even more popular recently. Although the technology has been in existence for approximately 20 years, its seismic performan...
This document outlines the basis of design for the performance-based design and nonlinear response history analysis of the Framework Project in Portland, OR. Performance-based design is pursued for this project because the proposed lateral force-resisting system, consisting of post-tensioned rocking cross-laminated timber (CLT) walls is not included in ASCE/SEI 7-10 Table 12.2-1.
This paper discusses the determination of the ASCE 7 seismic response modification factor R for three-hinge glulam Tudor arches. In an attempt to meet this objective, a limited application of the methods and procedures outlined in FEMA P-695 were used to...
