Lateral-Load Resistance of Cross-Laminated Timber Shear Walls

Determination of Lateral load Capacity of Steel Shear Walls Based on Artificial Neural Network Models

In this paper, load-carrying capacity in steel shear wall (SSW) was estimated using artificial neural networks (ANNs). The SSW parameters including load-carrying capacity (as ANN’s target), plate thickness, thickness of stiffener, diagonal stiffener distance, horizontal stiffener distance and gravity load (as ANN’s inputs) are used in this paper to train the ANNs. 144 samples data of each of th...

Cross Laminated Timber Construction for Resisting Lateral Loads on Six Level Buildings

The author’s intention is to contribute to the general discussion on timber multi-level commercial buildings. Interest in this topic is expected due to the environmental advantages of timber construction when compared to concrete and steel. This paper looks into three timber based systems for resisting lateral loads for buildings to six storeys, that will ensure relatively ‘open’ floor spaces. ...

investigation on diagonal reinforced concrete shear walls behavior under cyclic lateral load using finite element method

buildings with wall or frame-wall systems are more effective against earthquake forces and sustain less damage than buildings which their lateral resistance is solely depends on frames. four reinforced concrete (rc) structural wall specimens were subjected to cyclic loading using finite elements method with abaqus software in order to study influence of diagonal web reinforcement. the research ...
