Vibration serviceability performance of timber floors
https://doi.org/10.1007/s00107-015-0976-z... [Vibration/Acoustic Performance] [Journal Article] 2015 J. Weckendorf, T. Toratti, I. Smith, T. Tannert Vibration serviceability of timber floors is becoming increasingly relevant due to their increased long-span applications in pure timber and hybrid structures. As a serviceability limit state, the check of acceptable floor vibrations is part of some current timber design standards. However, a universal agreement on acceptance levels and design procedures has not been achieved. This paper gives an overview of traditional and recent design approaches for floor vibrations, with those approaches int... |

Head Office Desjardins, Caisse of West Mauricie
http://www.douglasconsultants.ca/en/prj-56-head-of... [Case Study/Projects] [Web Page] Douglas Consultants The construction of the building for the Head Office of the Caisse Desjardins for West Mauricie in Louiseville. This project was realised in the context of Sustainable Development with LEED certification, making timber the natural choice for the above-ground structure. Prefabricated prestressed hollow-core concrete panels were used for the ground floor, over the basement. We also developed a unique hybrid structural system for the floor beams, using wood, steel and concrete in combination, to ... |

Brock Commons - UBC s 18-storey wooden tower, installs final wood panel
http://www.woodworkingnetwork.com/video/brock-comm... [Case Study/Projects] [Magazine/Newspaper Article] 2016 Bill Esler The final panel was laid on Brock Commons Phase 1, an 18-storey mass timber hybrid residence under construction at the University of British Columbia (UBC). The building will be comprised of 17 storeys of mass timber construction above one storey of concrete and two concrete stair cores. The floor structure will consist of 5-ply cross laminated timber (CLT) panels supported on glue laminated timber (glulam) columns. The roof will be made of prefabricated sections of steel beams and metal decki... |

Awareness, perceptions and willingness to adopt Cross-Laminated Timber by the architecture community in the United States
https://experts.umn.edu/en/publications/awareness-... [Markets] [Journal Article] 2015 Maria Fernanda Laguard Mallo, Omar Espinoza Cross-Laminated Timber is an engineered wood-based product, developed in Europe in the early 1990s. Cross-Laminated Timber is made of multiple layers of wood boards, which are oriented perpendicular to the adjacent layers. Cross Laminated Timber is a promising construction technology that represents an opportunity to use low-value timber from small diameter and insect-infested forest resources, for a high value-added application, which contributes to better use our forest resources. While Cross-... |

Can the WFCM be used to design for wind Exposure D?
http://awc.org/faqs/awc-standards/wfcm/can-the-wfc... [Standards/Building code] [Web Page] American Wood Council The scope of the WFCM in Chapter 1 states it can be used for exposures B, C, and D, however, chapter 3 limits the scope for the prescriptive chapter to Exposures B and C. If you need to design for Exposure D, you will need to do it per WFCM Chapter 2 in accordance with appropriate table footnotes.... |

What is the difference between the envelope procedure and directional procedure and which approach is used in the WFCM?
http://awc.org/faqs/awc-standards/wfcm/what-is-the... [Standards/Building code] [Web Page] American Wood Council The WFCM uses the envelope procedure, which is a simplified method where GCpf values are developed to provide maximum structural actions from boundary level wind tunnel tests of low-rise buildings meeting certain limitations. The directional procedure uses GCp values that are based on general aerodynamic theory and is more generally applicable to all buildings.... |

Rocking Timber Structure with Slip-Friction Connectors Conceptualized As a Plast
https://ascelibrary.org/doi/abs/10.1061/%28ASCE%29... [Connectors] [Journal Article] 2016 Wei Y. Loo, Pierre Quenneville, Nawawi Chouw Recent experiments on a 2.44×2.44 m rigid timber wall panel with slip-friction connectors have demonstrated the feasibility of enabling elastoplastic behavior in structures that would otherwise be essentially rigid. The slip-friction connectors are adopted as the hold-downs that anchor the ends of the wall to the foundation. These replace the traditionally used steel bracket hold-downs, which relied on inelastic damage to the screw or nail connections for energy dissipation. Overturning resista... |
