Coupled CLT walls with steel link beams can form a more efficient lateral load resisting system for tall timber buildings when compared to single CLT shear walls. To achieve adequate coupling between CLT walls and ensure ...

Recent taller timber buildings worldwide have often utilized hybrid systems of mixed materials and have been built in regions of low seismicity. Designers often adopt the hybrid material solution of utilizing mass timber ...

In this research, a low-damage seismic design detail is developed for bridge columns supported on monopile foundations. The low-damage system aims to minimise, and potentially eliminate, the repair time and costs to a ...

Worldwide, due to the large amount of end-of-life tyre (ELT) stockpiles, reusing and recycling of ELTs in civil engineering applications have become a priority, significantly contributing to lessen environmental and health ...
