Characterization of mortar-timber and timber-timber cyclic friction in timber floor connections of masonry buildings

Katrin Beyer, João Saraiva Esteves Pacheco de Almeida

The seismic performance of buildings depends critically on the stiffness and strength of storey diaphragms. Whilst for modern reinforced concrete or steel structures the connection between floors and lateral resisting members is often assumed as monolithic ...

Behaviour of stiffened extended shear tab connections under gravity induced shear force

Dimitrios Lignos

Stiffened extended shear tab connections (either in full-depth or partial-depth configurations) are widely used to connect simply supported beams to the web of supporting girders or columns. Full-scale laboratory tests of stiffened extended shear tab conne ...

Finite element simulation of buckling of extended beam-to-girder shear tab connections under gravity induced shear force

Dimitrios Lignos

Extended shear tab connections (either in full-depth or partial-depth configurations) have been widely used to connect simply supported beams to the web of supporting girders. Full-scale laboratory tests of extended beam-to-girder shear tab connections dem ...

Dynamic Stability of Deep and Slender Wide-Flange Steel Columns – Full Scale Experiments

Dimitrios Lignos, Ahmed Mohamed Ahmed Elkady

In North America, a common design practice for steel frame buildings with perimeter steel special moment frames (SMFs) is to employ deep and slender wide-flange steel columns (i.e., range of column depth, d > 16 inches). Till recently, very little was know ...

Interlocking Folded Plate – Integral Mechanical Attachment for Structural Wood Panels

Yves Weinand, Christopher Werner Matthias Robeller

Automatic joinery has become a common technique for the jointing of beams in timber framing and roofing. It has revived traditional, integral joints such as mortise and tenon connections. Similarly, but only recently, the automatic fabrication of tradition ...

Dynamic performance comparison between buckling-restrained braced frames with concentric and eccentric configurations

Gary Scott Prinz

Buckling-restrained braced frames (BRBFs) are often used in steel buildings to resist seismic loads; however, BRBF ductility can be limited by poor performance of the beam-column-gusset regions. Additionally, the concentric brace configuration in BRBFs can ...

Experimental investigations on welded double lap joints composed of timber

Yves Weinand, Till Vallée, Bernhard Stamm, Benjamin Hahn

Fabrication of wood-to-wood connections by means of friction welding is an relatively new process holding high potential for development. To connect wooden pieces by means of friction welding, they are initially pressed against each other. The rapid moveme ...
