Structural behavior of traditional Dieh-Dou timber main frame

Numerical Modelling of Timber Braced Frame Masonry Structures (Dhajji Dewari)

This paper presents numerical modeling technique for Dhajji-Dewari structures (timber-braced rubble stone masonry), and its application for the evaluation of in-plane force-deformation capacity of Dhajji wall panels of different configuration of bracings. Dhajji structures are mainly composed of vertical and horizontal timber posts and braced using diagonal bracings and horizontal studs. Wall o...

The Dynamic Behavior of Efficient Timber Prices

The authors acknowledge helpful comments from seminar participants at the University of California-Davis and the 2001 American Agricultural Economics Association meeting, where earlier versions of this paper were presented. Abstract: The problem of when to optimally harvest trees when timber prices evolve according to an exogenous stochastic process has been studied extensively in recent decade...

Light Steel-Timber Frame with Composite and Plaster Bracing Panels

The proposed light-frame structure comprises steel columns for vertical loads and an innovative bracing system to efficiently resist seismic actions. This seismic force resisting system consists of a light timber frame braced with an Oriented Strand Board (OSB) sheet and an external technoprene plaster-infilled slab. Steel brackets are used as foundation and floor connections. Experimental cycl...
