STR-930: CROSS LAMINATED TIMBER WALLS WITH OPENINGS: IN-PLANE STIFFNESS PREDICTION AND SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS
Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is gaining popularity in residential and non-residential applications in the North American construction market. An accurate quantification of in-plane stiffness of the CLT walls with openings is required to design a CLT structure subjected to lateral loads. Nevertheless, till today, no general approach is available for the design of CLT-members loaded in plane and there are no standardized methods for determining the stiffness of CLT shearwalls in the respective material design standards: the CSA O86 in Canada, and the NDS in the US. This study aims to quantify the stiffness of CLT walls with openings under in-plane loading. A finite element (FE) model of CLT walls was developed modelling wood as orthotropic elastic material and the glue-lines between layers using non-linear contact elements. The FE model was verified from test results of CLT panels under in-plane loading. A parametric study was performed to evaluate the change in stiffness of CLT walls with the variation of opening size and shape. A simplified equation to predict the in-plane stiffness of CLT walls with openings was proposed. Subsequently, a sensitivity analysis was performed using Meta-model of Optimal Prognosis (MOP) to evaluate the contribution of each parameter on the model response

Geomechanical characteristics of the tailing dam "Topolnica"
The tailing dam "Topolnicaβ is a storage type because it has a dual purpose, that is used for
the disposal of tailings flotation in the space of a river bed and it accumulate fluid flow water
from the river Topolnica which serving open pit mine with drinking water. First projected
elevation was 610 m above sea level, it has long been exceeded and reached final height of 90
meters. In the last couple of years, when the elevation of the tailing dam arid approached to
the final projected elevation, the open pit mine approached to develop technical
documentation for the same elevation. It was made a additional project for elevation to the
upstream slope for 20 meters, elevation 630 m. In 2006 it was made second additional project
for elevation of the upstream slope for another 24 meters, elevation 654 m and a total height
of the crown of 136 meters. With the implementation of a additional project for tailing dam it is numbered as a highest dams in Europe
Seismic performance of braced timber frames
Braced timber frames are efficient lateral load resistance systems in buildings where large open
spaces are required, and the more commonly used timber shear wall systems cannot be utilized.
Braced timber frames allow for flexibility in the design and use the wood in its strongest
direction - parallel to grain in tension or compression. For application in high-risk earthquake
zones, however, the ductility of the system is a concern, since energy absorption is typically
limited to the connection region. This study focused on seismic behaviour of braced timber
frames with particular emphasis on investigating the influence of different connection details on
the overall stiffness, strength and seismic energy absorption capacity of the frame.
Monotonic tension and cyclic quasi-static tests were conducted on a variety of connections
typically used in braced timber frames, utilizing different diameter bolts and high strength
glulam rivets with steel side plates. Shake table tests were subsequently conducted on a selected
number of single storey braced frames with some of the connections previously tested and on a
two storey braced timber frame model with riveted connections. The experimental results from
quasi-static tests and shake table tests were used to establish and verify non-linear analytical
models representing the load-deformation behaviour of different connections. These hysteresis
curves were then introduced in analytical braced frame models. These models were used in a
number of non-linear static and dynamic analyses to determine the response of braced frames to
the input of five different records from previous earthquakes. From these analyses it was
possible to determine the influence of different connection details on the seismic response of the
selected types of braced timber frames. Based on the results from the analytical part of the
study, an estimate was made on the appropriate force modification factors (R-factors) for
earthquake resistant design of braced timber frames, as used in the National Building Code of
Canada. Finally, some design and construction recommendations are discussed to inform the
reader of the details required to obtain an adequate seismic performance. Possible ways of
improving the seismic behaviour of braced timber frames are presented as well.Applied Science, Faculty ofCivil Engineering, Department ofGraduat
Blind prediction of the seismic response of the NEESWood Capstone Building
The NEESWood Project is a multi-year US research project that involves analysis, testing, and societal
risk assessment with the intent of safely increasing the height of light-frame wood buildings to six stories in regions of
moderate to high seismicity. Within this project a full-scale seven-storey, 12.1 m x 18.1 m, condominium building (one
storey steel frame and 6 storey wood frame construction) has been tested during July 2009 on the worldβs largest
earthquake shake table in Miki, Hyogo, Japan.
As part of the NEESWood Project the international engineering community was invited to blind predict the inelastic
seismic response of the Capstone Building. In this paper results of the blind prediction using the commercially available
DRAIN 3-D structural analysis program are presented. The model for the test structure was composed of essentially
rigid straight members connected to semi-rigid rotational springs in the vertical plane to represent the shear walls, while
floor and roof diaphragms were assumed as rigid. The semi-rigid spring elements were incorporated into the DRAIN-
3D program using a proprietary subroutine simulating the hysteretic behaviour of wood mechanical connections.
Properties of the hold-down rods were also included in the model. The required hysteretic parameters for each spring
element were obtained by the data package provided by NEESWood researchers for this benchmark study. The results
were then compared in terms of time-history responses, maximum base shear, maximum average displacements, interstorey
drifts and hold-down tension forces experienced at each storey
Assessment of seismic design parameters for midply wood shear wall system
A midply shear wall provides greater lateral load capacity per unit length than a standard shear wall. The improved performance is achieved by placing the sheathing between wall stud members, which subjects the nails to double-shear when the wall is loaded in shear. Tests have shown that the average lateral load capacities and energy dissipations of midply walls can be more than three times that of standard shear walls, while their stiffness can be between two to three times the average stiffness of standard shear walls. A proposal for implementation of the midply wall system in wood design codes in North America is presented. Non-linear dynamic analyses of a four-storey wood-frame building were used to determine the seismic design parameters for midply shear walls. The analysis utilized a suite of 22 selected earthquake records scaled to the peak ground acceleration stipulated in the National Building Code of Canada 2005 for Vancouver, British Columbia. The probability of failure was determined for building built with both standard and midply shear walls. Using the standard shear walls as the bench mark, this study indicates that a ductility-related force modification factor R d = 3 could be safely assigned for the midply shear wall system to achieve the same safety level as the standard shear wall system
