    • Application of resilient rocking cores in low damage mass timber structures: A case study 

      Hashemi, Ashkan; Mpidi Bita, Hercend; Zarnani, Pouyan; Malczyk, Robert; Quenneville, Pierre; Varier, Sriraj (2022-04-27)
      The application of mass timber structures made with massive wooden panels such as Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) has significantly increased in the last few years owing to their many architectural and structural advantages, ...
    • Ductile timber connections: Understanding the factors contributing to their ductility 

      Quenneville, Pierre; Hashemi, Ashkan; Zarnani, Pouyan (2022-04-27)
      It is well accepted that ductility in a timber structure is achieved through its conections as the behaviour of timber is inherently brittle. It is thus important to understand the diferent parameters that contribute to ...
    • Elastic Design (μ=1.0) of Damage Avoidance Structures 

      Darani, Farhad M.; Zarnani, Pouyan; Quenneville, Pierre (2022-04-27)
      Damage Avoidance Design (DAD) has been considered an efficient way for seismic design. Different solutions to achieve a robust DAD structure has been proposed and tested by researchers in the past. However, there is a lack ...
    • Experimental and analytical evaluation of different failure modes of self-centring braces 

      Yousef-Beik, Seyed Mohammad Mehdi; Hashemi, Ashkan; Zarnani, Pouyan; Quenneville, Pierre; Seifi, Mehrdad; Veismoradi, Sajad (2022-04-27)
      As resilience of structures during seismic events is currently a main structural engineering topic, Low-damage self-centring braces have the potential to serve this purpose by becoming a common low-damage lateral load ...
