Seismic retrofitting of timber framed walls

Numerical Investigation and Empirical Seismic Vulnerability Assessment of Timber - Framed

Modeling activities and travel for individuals in order to estimate traffic demand leads to large scale simulations. Most current models simulate individuals acting in a mutually independent way except for the use of the shared transportation infrastructure. As soon as cooperation between autonomous individuals is accounted for, the individuals are linked to each other in a network structure an...

Influence of carbon fibre-reinforced polymers reinforcing on the seismic behaviour of timber-framed walls with fibre-plaster sheathing boards

This paper provides an experimental analysis of timber-framed walls, coated with carbon fibre-reinforced polymers (CFRP) strengthened fibre-plaster boards. The presented wall elements are usually used as main bearing capacity elements in the construction of prefabricated multi-level timber residential buildings. Since the tensile strength of fibre-plaster sheathing boards (FPB) is approximately...

Effect of Overturning Restraint on the Performance of Fully Sheathed and Perforated Timber Framed Shear Walls

Timber-framed walls with openings coated with single fibre –plaster boards

The paper presents an experimental analysis of timber – framed wall panels with openings, coated with single fibre-plaster boards fastened to a timber frame. The present study is a continuation of the research work realized in the last years in reinforcing of the prefabricated timber-framed wall panels without any openings. The aim of the study presented here was to provide the information abou...

Slip Modeling in Timber-Framed Walls with Wood-Based or Fibre-Plaster Sheathing Boards

The paper provides mathematical modelling for prefabricated timber-framed walls composed of a timber frame and two different types of sheathing boards. Since by wood-based boards (WBB) the tensile strength is similar to the compressive one, there are practically no cracks appearing in the boards. On the other hand, in case of fibre-plaster sheathing boards (FPB) the tensile strength is approxim...
