The building sector, including building operations and materials, was responsible for the
emission of∼ 11.9 gigatons of global energy-related CO2 in 2020, accounting for 37% of the …

In the last two decades, mass timber structures have gained popularity in mid-rise or tall
building applications worldwide. For timber buildings in seismic regions, it is critical to …

Cross-laminated timber (CLT) buildings are recognized as a robust alternative to
heavyweight constructions, because beneficial for seismic resistance and environmental …

Cross-laminated timber (CLT) has been widely discussed as a relevant industrialized
construction solution. Numerous publications have considered CLT as a structural wood …

This paper is devoted to the investigation into the lateral performance of cross-laminated
timber (CLT) shear walls with different construction methods (ie, platform construction and …

Balloon type cross laminated timber (CLT) rocking shear walls are a novel seismic force
resisting system. In this paper, the seismic performance of four 12-story balloon type CLT …

Global construction industry has a huge influence on world primary energy consumption,
spending, and greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions. To better understand these factors for …

There are currently no standards regulating water management for mass timber elements
during construction, little knowledge of impacts of moisture exposure (wetting and drying …

Construction of tall-wood buildings is increasing in North America. Cross-laminated timber
(CLT) is one of the dominant structural mass-timber products and is a high strength …

The connections are essential in providing the strength, stiffness, ductility, and energy-
dissipating capacity for CLT structures. In this paper, a novel dissipative angle bracket for …
