Abstract:
This paper investigates the practicality of using base-isolation devices to protect lightweight buildings, such as timber-framed houses, against earthquakes. As the timber-framed buildings considered are designed to a lateral seismic force of 0.24W in Wellington (where W is building weight), it was considered that the appropriate isolation level should be significantly lower, say 0.1W, and lower still in Auckland where such buildings are designed for a lateral force of 0.12W. An analysis showed that houses which had a base-isolation yield set to yield at 0.1 W would have unacceptable deformations under the design wind load if the isolators were located beneath a timber floor, but may be satisfactory if located beneath a concrete slab. A large-scale test using isolators beneath pre-cast floor slabs showed the method used would work even if it was unduly expensive. However, an analysis indicated that there might be little protection for some building contents. A literature survey of alternative base-isolation solutions showed a wide range of innovative, but often impractical, concepts have been proposed. However, one concept showed promise for timber-framed structures. This used two layers of synthetic sheet beneath a concrete floor slab to provide a slip layer. The sheet materials recommended reputably gave a dynamic friction coefficient of 0.07. BRANZ measured the friction coefficient using large samples of both these and other sheet materials. It was concluded that the measured friction was too high for use for the planned buildings, although it may have application for low-rise heavy-brittle construction. Alternative base-isolation concepts are presented which will be useful to others interested in this topic.

Abstract:
Abstract Timber-framed architecture has a long history in both China and Japan. As an eco-friendly construction material, it is universally acknowledged that the use of timber can be conducive to the achievement of sustainable development for architecture. During the past decades, the development of timber-framed buildings in China and Japan appeared significantly different. Consumers’ cognition about timber as a construction material has been widely researched by European academics, while there are few such kinds of studies in China, especially the comparative study between China and Japan. To fill this gap, this study aims to figure out consumers’ acceptance and attitudes toward timber used as a construction material in China and Japan. By adopting a structured questionnaire method, this study analyzed consumers’ thoughts, knowledge, and awareness of modern timber-framed architecture from the consumer level. The results indicate that Chinese and Japanese consumers have the same prejudices regarding the deficiency of timber-frame houses, in terms of fire resistance, acoustic insulation, and durability, while having positive attitudes regarding health and nature, and doubts about environmentally friendly performance. Moreover, the background developing driving forces and developing obstacles have also been analyzed. These results help to provide a better understanding of the challenges and difficulties that the timber-framed house market is facing in China and Japan. Thus, some suggestions were proposed to policymakers, developers, and timber companies for the future development of timber-structure architecture.

Abstract:
This study aims to understand the views and experiences of Tampere residents in Finland about multi-story timber-framed apartments and wooden structures through a questionnaire. The 151 responses highlighted two main issues: (1) multi-story timber-framed apartments were rated as a good product in terms of user satisfaction, which was based on the following findings: (1a) for most of the respondents, the apartment had fresh air and a suitable temperature on cold winter days; (1b) the majority felt safe living in a multi-story timber-framed apartment; (1c) respondents generally were satisfied with the soundproofing, except for the disturbing noises from the upper floor and the stairwells; (1d) residents’ opinions were mainly positive regarding most of the functional features such as storage facilities, the location and access roads of the building, exterior facade, and wood visibility level; (2) there exists a demand for multi-story timber-framed residential buildings in the market, especially in the customer segment, which is defined as ‘environmentalist’. This was based on the following findings: (2a) living in an environmentally friendly, low-carbon, natural-material apartment, cozier living in a timber-framed apartment, and meaningful use of wood in interiors were notably more important for the extremely satisfied residents; (2b) building facades, and floors and ceilings inside the apartment were the places where the use of wood was most desired in the apartment. This article is intended to be a guide for key construction experts, e.g., architectural designers and developers to better understand and meet the demands and needs of timber-framed apartment residents in Finland.

Abstract:
The structural fire resistance of light timber frame walls and floors has traditionally been determined by using standard fire resistance tests to provide a Fire Resistance Rating (FRR). The required FRR was prescribed by building codes and had little relation to likely fire severity. More recently, simple formulae have been used to determine an appropriate FRR given the ventilation parameters of a compartment, the likely fuel load and to a lesser extent the thermal properties of the compartment boundaries. The work described in this thesis determines the validity of these formulae for light timber frame walls and floors and other materials. It is shown that, computer modelling can be used to determine the thermal and structural performance of light timber frame walls and floors exposed to fire. The COMPF-2 program can be used with modification to model compartment fires. The thermal behaviour of cavity walls and floors exposed to fire can be modelled accurately using the TASEF program. The structural behaviour of light timber frame walls and floors exposed to fire can be modelled using a general purpose finite element program, such as ABAQUS. The temperature dependent thermal properties used in the thermal model and the temperature dependent mechanical properties used in the structural model may not be absolutely accurate values, but are effective values that are (modifications of known values within a reasonable range) determined in the calibration process. A simple temperature based failure criterion has been devised for the structural response of light timber frame walls and floors exposed to fires. This study shows that simple time equivalent formulae are not suitable for the prediction of such a complex and variable phenomenon as the response of structures to fire. For accurate prediction of structural response under fire exposure, a more rigorous computer based analysis can be used to give much more reliable results than a simple time equivalent method.

Abstract:
This thesis describes the structural performance of plywood sheathed timber shearwalls exposed to simulated seismic loading and proposes a simple design method. Five full sized three-storey shearwalls were constructed using timber framing and plywood sheathing. The shearwalls were of high aspect ratio and one had large openings. A variety of framing arrangements and hold-down details were used. Each of the shearwalls was instrumented and subjected to reverse cyclic loading representative of the fundamental mode of seismic loading. Construction of the walls and their behaviour under load is described in detail, with an analysis of stiffness, strength, ductility and failure modes. Material properties of the shearwall components were investigated experimentally. A capacity design method is proposed to prevent brittle fracture of the timber and verified by reliability analysis. A proposed method of calculating deflected shapes gives good agreement with test results. The seismic response of multi-storey buildings is investigated. A structural design procedure and suitable detailing for multistorey timber shearwalls incorporating light frame timber construction and plywood sheathing is developed. The procedure is specifically intended for the design of timber shearwalls resisting NZS 4203:1992 seismic loading requirements and meeting NZS 3603:1993 design criteria, but can be adapted to meet other codes of practice. Capacity design methods are incorporated. An example design of a three storey shearwall is included.

Abstract:
Within the UK traditional masonry construction techniques are struggling to deliver the quantity and ecological quality of housing required by an ever increasing UK population. This research employs a case study review of a mainstream mixed timber frame and masonry housing development - Green Street, in order to explore the ecological viability of timber prefabrication as an alternative to the established masonry construction methods currently employed in the majority of British housing. Four houses of each construction type in the Green Street development were outfitted with a number of environmental monitoring sensors for continuous monitoring. In addition the study incorporates fabric testing in the form of air permeability testing, Co-heating analysis, thermography, and a life cycle analysis. Building Use Survey, project management and design team interviews and an industry questionnaire form the final part of the evaluation protocol. The study revealed that heating the timber dwellings ultimately required less energy per degree difference between inside and outside temperatures. During the summer the timber housing displays a greater diurnal temperature swing, while on average the temperature remains consistently lower than the masonry housing. The masonry housing was found to be both more air tight and exhibiting a lower heat loss coefficient, despite that, the performance gap between design and reality for space heating is less in the timber prefabricated housing. The life cycle analysis revealed that the timber walls have a lower impact on climate change. BUS methodology results found that construction type had little to no impact on occupants. The design team review highlighted the need for a greater level of prefabrication in timber housing to increase precision and work around a serious skills shortage. An industry questionnaire suggested that timber construction in the UK can often suffer from poor construction practice, predicated by a gap in specialized knowledge. The research concludes that in this instance, the timber prefabrication technique produced dwellings that perform ecologically on par with their masonry counterparts. In answering the research question, the evidence suggests that at this stage the technique would be better employed on a case by case basis and supported by specialists in timber fabrication, rather than implemented as a blanket alternative for existing masonry construction. Already a number of insights from this research have filtered into industry practice and will continue to better inform both industrial and academic partners in their decisions regarding the use of timber prefabrication in mainstream UK housing.

Abstract:
Construction clients have the position to continuously improve new-built from a life cycle perspective. Furthermore, they can contribute to advancement and improved competition in construction by putting more explicit and distinct requirements and by a willingness to try new, non-local contractors and new construction methods (Statskontoret 2009). Conventional construction is argued to constitute a barrier to change (Dulaimi et al. 2003). Industrialised building, with its off-site characteristics and process-orientation, is seen as a means to attain advancement in construction (e.g. Statskontoret 2009). Industrialised multi-dwelling timber framed (ITF) housing entail all of the identified advantages of industrialisation. Nonetheless, clients are not actively driving change towards industrialised construction (e.g. Engström et al. 2009) and it was indicated that one possible explanation could be that clients are uncertain (Höök 2005). The aim of this thesis is to identify client organisations' uncertainties concerning ITF housing and property, find mechanisms for why they arise and propose measures to manage uncertainty within clients' organisations. The thesis is based on three appended papers and a detached technical report (Levander 2010). Empirical data consist of interviews, economic data, documentation and a questionnaire, they have been collected from in total 27 Swedish client organisations and on 44 ITF properties, and are analysed in two case studies and one field study.The results show that the great majority of client organisations' uncertainties are a matter of equivocality. The mechanisms for the high equivocality are the high complexity and uncertainty in construction in conjunction with the novelty encompassed by ITF housing and property. The current information processing practice within the studied client organisations does not support resolving equivocality.The general conclusion is that ITF housing and property is a radical change seen from clients' perspective and represents novelty in construction technology. Thus, the ITF alternative challenges and goes beyond clients' known frame of reference and thereby causes equivocality. In order to manage and resolve equivocality, client organisations need to enable translation and transfer of frameworks and their activities must constitute challenges to their normal practice. Thus it is proposed that in order to manage uncertainty and equivocality, and thereby contribute to advancements in construction, client organisations need to work with uncertainty management.
Fastighetsägare har i rollen som beställare möjligheten att ständigt förbättra nybyggnation från ett livscykelperspektiv. Dessutom kan de bidra till utveckling och ökad konkurrens inom byggbranschen genom ett tydligare kravställande och med en vilja att prova nya, icke-lokala entreprenörer och nya produktionsmetoder (Statskontoret 2009). Traditionellt byggande hävdas utgöra ett hinder för förändring (Dulaimi et al. 2003). Industriellt byggande, med byggande i fabrik och processorientering, ses som ett sätt att nå framsteg byggandet (ex Stadskontoret 2009). Industriellt byggande av flerbostadshus med trästomme för med sig samtliga fördelar med industriellt byggande. Trots detta är inte beställarna en aktiv kraft (Engström et al. 2009), en möjlig förklaring är att kunderna är osäkra (Höök 2005).Syftet med forskningen är att identifiera fastighetsägarorganisationernas osäkerheter om den industriella träbyggnadsprocessen och om industriellt byggda flerbostadshus med trästomme (ITF-alternativet), hitta mekanismer för varför osäkerheterna uppstår och föreslå åtgärder för att hantera osäkerhet inom kundorganisationer. Avhandlingen bygger på tre bifogade artiklar och en fristående teknisk rapport (Levander 2010). Empiriska data består av intervjuer, ekonomiska data, dokumentation och en enkät som har samlats in från totalt 27 svenska fastighetsägarorganisationer och på 44 ITF fastigheter, och sedan har analyseras inom två fallstudier och en fältstudie.Resultaten visar att kundernas osäkerheter främst är en fråga om tvetydighet (equivocality). Mekanismerna bakom denna är den höga komplexitet och osäkerhet inom byggbranschen generellt, tillsammans med det nya och annorlunda som ITF-alternativet medför. Det nuvarande sättet att hantera information och kommunikation inom de studerade fastighetsägarorganisationerna stödjer inte hantering av tvetydighet.Den allmänna slutsatsen är att ITF-alternativet är en radikal förändring sett ur kundernas perspektiv och representerar nyhet i flera dimensioner. Således går ITF-alternativet utanför kundernas kända referensram och medför därigenom tvetydighet. För att lösa tvetydighet krävs att kundorganisationerna möjliggör överföring av referensramar och aktivt utmanar sina nuvarande arbetssätt. Det föreslås därför att kundorganisationer behöver arbeta med osäkerhetshantering, detta för att kunna hantera och lösa både osäkerhet och tvetydighet, och därigenom bidra till framsteg inom byggandet.

Abstract:
In this Thesis, an intervention system applicable to existing reinforced concrete (RC) framed buildings is presented. The main purpose of the intervention is to improve the seismic behaviour of such buildings using cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels without modifying the original concrete structural system. The intervention proposed can also be implemented to reduce the energy consumption of buildings. Furthermore, the intervention can be partially prefabricated in order to speed up execution and reducing labour costs. The need to intervene on existing concrete buildings to improve their seismic behaviour arises from: a) this type of buildings represents a large percentage of the built heritage of many Countries; b) most of these structures were designed considering vertical loads only. Specifically, the built heritage is often characterised by details and construction techniques that deviate significantly from those required for new structures. Recent earthquakes have shown that, under seismic actions of smaller magnitude than those considered for new buildings, past construction practices frequently involve unforeseen damage or the activation of brittle mechanisms of collapse. The main critical issues of this kind of structure are: the detachment and the collapse of the infills; the failure of the beam-column joints; the shear failure of the concrete elements due to the interaction with the infills; the activation of soft-storey mechanisms as a consequence of torsional motions or concentration of lateral deformations in a single storey. To reduce the seismic vulnerability of these structures, a retrofit solution was proposed. The solution sees the connection of structural CLT panels to the existing RC elements through dissipative steel fasteners. The main goal of this intervention is to improve the in-plane response of the frames. Specifically, two alternative intervention configurations with different levels of invasiveness were studied. With reference to an isolated one-storey one-bay frame, the most invasive configuration, named RC–TP (Reinforced Concrete–Timber Panels), consists in the removal of one or more original masonry wythes and in their replacement with a CLT panel. The panel is inserted into the space originally occupied by the infill and is connected to the RC frame through a timber subframe and metal dowel-type fasteners. The least invasive configuration, named RC–TPext (Reinforced Concrete–external Timber Panels), consists in the arrangement of the CLT panel from the outside without removing the original infill. Vertical cuts at the lateral edges of the masonry infill prevent the infill, which in case of in-plane actions responds as a strut, from transferring additional forces to the columns and causing their collapse in shear. Because in RC–TP the panel is inserted inside the frame, it can also contribute to resist vertical actions if the seismic action damages the structural elements or increases the vertical loads. In addition, the replacement of the masonry infills with CLT panels results in reduced seismic masses and wall thickness. RC–TP has therefore a greater impact on the building and requires more burdensome labours, while RC–TPext leads to shorter execution time and less disturbance to the occupants. In the work presented here, numerical analyses and experimental tests were conducted to investigate the seismic response of existing RC frames both in pre- and post-intervention configurations. Specifically, finite element models comprising bare, masonry-infilled and retrofitted one-storey one-bay frames were subjected to nonlinear static and dynamic analyses by adopting numerical strategies with different levels of refinement. An extensive numerical campaign was devoted to investigating and optimising the behaviour of the intervention system on the basis of several aspects, such as the state of load, the mechanical and geometrical properties of the original system, the presence of weak beam-column joints, and the influence of openings. These analyses enabled the definition of a few “design rules” to guide the implementation of the retrofit system. Through the definition of “simplified” modelling approaches, the intervention system was also applied to entire case-study structures which were subjected to nonlinear static analyses. An analytical approach able to reproduce the response of isolated frames retrofitted with the RC-TP solution was developed to facilitate the pre-design of the intervention. This approach does not require the use of numerical analyses and permits to analyse multiple configurations with small amounts of output data. In the final phase, a set of four full-scale one-storey one-bay frames representative of the Italian heritage were tested by applying in-plane quasi-static cyclic loading up to a collapse condition. The four specimens comprised: a) masonry infilled frame; b) RC–TP retrofit 1; c) RC–TP retrofit 2; d) RC–TPext retrofit 3. The results obtained indicate that the proposed retrofit intervention can be used to significantly improve the seismic behaviour of existing RC frames by increasing both displacement and resistance capacities and by favouring the development of ductile mechanisms of collapse.

Abstract:
This study investigates the monotonic and cyclic response of light-frame wood shear walls with and without openings. Effects of overturning restraint in the form of tie-down anchors and corner segments on light-frame shear walls with and without door and window openings were quantified. While the results are useful to refine a design methodology for shear walls containing openings, they also provide important knowledge that is needed to accurately quantify anchorage requirements for shear wall design, and assess remaining load and ductility capacity of wood frame buildings after earthquakes or hurricanes. Sixteen full-scale wall specimens were tested using monotonic and sequential phased displacement (SPD) patterns. A total of five different wall configurations, five anchorage, and two loading conditions were used. All walls were eight feet (2.4m) high. Straight wall specimens were forty feet (12.2m) long, whereas corner walls measured twelve feet (3.7m) in length. The analysis includes data from a previous investigation in order to further expand the scope of this study. Results reveal that ultimate capacity and stiffness increase with increasing overturning restraint. A shift in failure mode was observed when overturning restraints were omitted. Accumulated damage experienced by the wall specimens tested cyclically was fairly uniform, regardless of the amount of overturning restraint or size of openings present.

Abstract:
This document presents a part of the wide research carried out on modern timber buildings by the timber research group of the University of Trento. In the last five years several experimental and numerical analysis have been performed on crucial structural topics about multistorey timber construction. The efforts have been focused on the traditional light timber framed system (LTF) and on the log-house system (LH). Concerning the LTF, different aspects of the structural behaviour to the lateral load bearing structure such as walls and connection devices were investigated through experimental tests from the single component up to the full-scale building tested on shake table. The goals of these capstone tests, carried out on three-storey buildings, were the investigation of peculiar aspects which especially for the European constructive tradition were not sufficiently discussed. The same layout was follow for the traditional log-house system. In a first step of the research campaign the behaviour of single components (joints, reinforce elements) was tested and analysed in order to form the basis of the second part that was dedicated to the full scale shear walls tests and analysis. The thesis is organized in two main parts. In the opening chapters, after a brief introduction to the constructive system, the seismic behaviour of light timber framed constructions is analysed. The validation of the predictive models and the mechanical characterization of the gypsum fibreboard sheathing material are presented. Different steps of the S.E.R.I.E.S. project are summarized (tests on connection and real scale walls - shake table tests). The aim of the discussion is the deeper understanding of the boundary condition and the reliability of the tests on the single component on the real scale model. In the second part, the mechanical characterization of modern timber log-house building through experimental tests is presented. The strong cooperation among Rubner Haus Company and the timber research group of the University of Trento made possible a detailed experimental campaign organized on two steps. The first is focused on the evaluation of the corner joints proprieties by means of analysis of small portion of walls. The second part deals with the behaviour of full-scale walls with vertical loads in different geometries (corner joints types, length and presence of openings). The two innovative test setup were designed to reproduce the boundary condition of the structural elements of the building, and to minimize the effects of the test pparatus on the results. The outcomes of the tests show a complex interaction between contributions provided by different mechanisms. In the last chapters, a simplified model suitable to predict the overall load displacement curves of the wall is introduced.

Abstract:
AbstractThe lightweight structures play a crucial role in mitigating the environmental impact of buildings throughout their lifespan. There is an interest in exploring various agricultural by-products as effective aggregates for filling framed timber structures. Natural fibers, such as hemp shives, are gaining attention for their environmental benefits, including biodegradability, renewability, recyclability, composability, and their potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. By harnessing these natural fibers, it is possible to reduce emissions associated with the most popular wall structures. Moreover, this approach reduces agricultural waste and facilitates integration into a circular economy model. This study delves into the effects of bio-composites created from hemp shives, combined with starch, gypsum, and a geopolymer binder, in fabricating lightweight timber structures. These lightweight structures are compared among themselves and conventionally used wall structures, assuming one square meter of wall with a specific U-value as the comparative unit. Results from a life cycle assessment revealed that these innovative lightweight timber wall structures yield CO2 emissions ranging from −13.94 to 82.89 kg of CO2 equivalent per square meter. In contrast, compared to traditional brick wall constructions, these structures offer substantial savings, potentially reducing emissions by up to 149.38 kg of CO2 equivalent per square meter. This research underscores the promising environmental advantages of utilizing natural fiber-based bio-composites in constructing lightweight timber structures, emphasizing their potential to reduce carbon footprints in building construction significantly.

Abstract:
<p>Finansparken Bjergsted is an office building currently under construction in Stavanger, Norway, for SR-Bank. The structural system above ground level uses timber as the principal load bearing elements (a natural, renewable and readily available local material). Floors are cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels supported by glued laminated timber (GL) beams and columns. For strength and complex geometrical requirements, laminated veneer lumber (LVL) made of beech is also used. The three basement levels and the four communications and services cores are of reinforced concrete. Mass timber structural elements are engineered for strength and are prefabricated with strict tolerances for a rapid construction process using mainly direct contact timber connections, without metal fasteners. The beams are shaped and fabricated with openings to suit both the architectural aesthetics and services requirements by means of a fully integrated BIM system.</p>
