This project will develop innovative new connections for CLT buildings in seismic zones.
Keywords: behaviour factor, cross laminated timber (CLT), dissipative capacity, dissipative connections, multi-story buildings, seismic response
Objectives:
- Critical evaluation of the performance of CLT building during earthquakes
- Investigation of amplified accelerations in multi-storey buildings
- Development of dissipative connections for CLT buildings
- Suggest the implementation of the existing connections
- Probabilistic assessment of seismic force reduction factors
- Development of design procedures
