Characterization of mortar-timber and timber-timber cyclic friction in timber floor connections of masonry buildings

Katrin Beyer, João Saraiva Esteves Pacheco de Almeida

The seismic performance of buildings depends critically on the stiffness and strength of storey diaphragms. Whilst for modern reinforced concrete or steel structures the connection between floors and lateral resisting members is often assumed as monolithic ...

Behaviour of stiffened extended shear tab connections under gravity induced shear force

Dimitrios Lignos

Stiffened extended shear tab connections (either in full-depth or partial-depth configurations) are widely used to connect simply supported beams to the web of supporting girders or columns. Full-scale laboratory tests of stiffened extended shear tab conne ...

Exploring the application domain of adaptive structures

Gennaro Senatore

Using a previously developed design methodology it was shown that optimal material distribution in combination with strategic integration of the actuation system lead to significant whole-life energy savings when the design is governed by rare but strong l ...

Finite element simulation of buckling of extended beam-to-girder shear tab connections under gravity induced shear force

Dimitrios Lignos

Extended shear tab connections (either in full-depth or partial-depth configurations) have been widely used to connect simply supported beams to the web of supporting girders. Full-scale laboratory tests of extended beam-to-girder shear tab connections dem ...

Force Transfer around Openings in Cross-Laminated Timber Shear Walls

Sai Ganesh Sarvotham Pai

This paper presents a study on force transfer around openings (FTAO) in cross-laminated timber (CLT) shear walls. To elucidate the load transfer mechanism in CLT walls, this study used finite-element models to study five different CLT shear wall configurat ...

Dynamic Stability of Deep and Slender Wide-Flange Steel Columns – Full Scale Experiments

Dimitrios Lignos, Ahmed Mohamed Ahmed Elkady

In North America, a common design practice for steel frame buildings with perimeter steel special moment frames (SMFs) is to employ deep and slender wide-flange steel columns (i.e., range of column depth, d > 16 inches). Till recently, very little was know ...

Flexural buckling of extended shear tab connections under gravity induced shear force

Dimitrios Lignos

Extended shear tab connections have been widely used to connect simply supported beams to the flange or web of supporting columns, as well as the web of steel girders. The American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) introduced the use of extended shear ...

Interlocking Folded Plate – Integral Mechanical Attachment for Structural Wood Panels

Yves Weinand, Christopher Werner Matthias Robeller

Automatic joinery has become a common technique for the jointing of beams in timber framing and roofing. It has revived traditional, integral joints such as mortise and tenon connections. Similarly, but only recently, the automatic fabrication of tradition ...

Snap-fit Joints - CNC fabricated, Integrated Mechanical Attachment for Structural Wood Panels

Christopher Werner Matthias Robeller

This presentation presents our reserach into the design and potential applications of CNC fabricated snap-fit joints for cross-laminated veneer lumber panels (LVL). These joints are new to the building construction sector, but commonly used in other domain ...
