Ductile cross laminated timber (CLT) platform structures with passive damping
Hashemi, Ashkan; Loo, Wei; Masoudnia, Reza; Zarnani, Pouyan; Quenneville, P. (2016-08)Multi-storey platform cross laminated timber (CLT) structures are becoming progressively desirable for engineers and owners. This is because they offer many significant advantages such as speed of fabrication, ease of ... -
Elasto-plastic behaviour of a rigid timber shear wall with slip-friction connectors
Loo, Wei; Quenneville, P.; Chouw, N. (New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering (NZSEE), 2014-03)The use of rigid engineered timber panels, such as cross-laminated-timber, in construction is increasing around the world, particularly in Europe and Australasia. Typically the panels rely on nailed or screwed steel plates ... -
An elastoplastic solution for earthquake resistant rigid timber shear walls
Loo, Wei; Quenneville, P.; Chouw, N. (2014-09)In terms of seismic performance, timber structures have been observed to perform well, in spite of timber being an inherently non-ductile material. This is due mainly to the ductility of the steel-to-timber connections, ... -
A low damage and ductile rocking timber wall with passive energy dissipation devices
Loo, Wei; Quenneville, P.; Chow, , N. (Techno-Press, 2015-07)In conventional seismic design, structures are assumed to be fixed at the base. To reduce the impact of earthquake loading, while at the same time providing an economically feasible structure, minor damage is tolerated in ... -
A new shear key for rocking timber shear walls
Loo, Wei Yuen; Kun, Chern; Quenneville, P.; Chouw, Nawawi (Australian Earthquake Engineering Society (AEES), 2013)Allowing shear walls to rock is one way of protecting structures from earthquake damage, or at least minimising this damage. Walls allowed to rock must have the ability to resist both overturning moment, and lateral forces. ... -
A numerical investigation into the behaviour of flexible uplifting structures with slip-friction connectors under earthquake loading
Loo, Wei Yuen; Quenneville, P.; Chouw, Nawawi (2013-06)While there has been significant research into the behavior of uplifting (or rocking) rigid structures under seismic loading, far less attention has been paid to the behavior of flexible structures allowed to uplift. ...
