Performance assessment of through-tenon timber joints under tension loads

Yves Weinand, Aryan Rezaei Rad, Henry V. Burton

This paper aims to characterize the force-deformation response of through-tenon wood-wood connections subjected to tensile loads. Four beech LVL timber specimen groups with variations in the fiber orientation, and the tab insertion angle (45°, and 60°) are ...

Semi-Rigidity of Through-Tenon Joints under Tension and Shear Loads and Perpendicular-to-Grain Compression

Yves Weinand, Aryan Rezaei Rad, Anh Chi Nguyen

This report presents the results of experimental tests performed on through-tenon joints used in double-layered and double-curved timber plate shells recently developed. Three tests were carried out to determine the semi-rigidity of these wood-wood connect ...

Numerical Simulation of the Semi-Rigid Behaviour of Integrally Attached Timber Folded Surface Structures

Yves Weinand, Aryan Rezaei Rad, Anh Chi Nguyen, Andrea Stitic

Timber folded surface structures assembled using semi-rigid multiple tab and slot joints (MTSJ) have been shown to form feasible structural systems with high load bearing potential. However, for their further development and use on large building scales, a ...

Experimental push-out investigation on the in-plane force-deformation behavior of integrally-attached timber Through-Tenon joints

Yves Weinand, Aryan Rezaei Rad, Henry V. Burton

Spurred by developments in digital fabrication, there has been an increase in the application of the Integral Mechanical Attachment (IMA) technique in timber plate structures. Despite its increase in popularity, there have been very few systematic investig ...

Segmented Spiral Using Inter-Connected Timber Elements

Yves Weinand, Aryan Rezaei Rad, Petras Vestartas, Martin Thomas Nakad, Loïc Henri Pelletier

This paper describes the construction process of a scenographic structure - five meters high spiral. It consists of following parts: CAD modeling work-flow, prototyping and FEM structural calculation, assembly and on-site loading test. The structure was co ...

Seismic collapse performance of Los Angeles soft, weak, and open-front wall line woodframe structures retrofitted using different procedures

Aryan Rezaei Rad, Henry V. Burton

The Los Angeles Soft-Story Ordinance was enacted with the goal of reducing the collapse risk of woodframe buildings with soft, weak and open-front (SWOF) wall lines. Four alternative retrofit methods are permitted under the Ordinance including a SWOF-wall- ...

Probabilistic Risk-Based Performance Evaluation of Seismically Base-Isolated Steel Structures Subjected to Far-Field Earthquakes

Aryan Rezaei Rad

The performance of base-isolated steel structures having special moment frames is assessed. The archetypes, which are designed per ASCE/SEI 7-2016, are simulated in the Finite Element (FE) computational platform, OpenSees. Adopting nonlinear dynamic analys ...
