DOI: 10.1007/s10518-018-00536-6
Abstract: Traditional connections in earthquake-resistant cross-laminated timber buildings are susceptible of brittle failures, even when buildings are designed and supposed to be ductile. This is mainly due to the large underestimation of the actual strength of… read more here.

Traditional earthquake resistant techniques for vernacular architecture and local seismic cultures: A literature review
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Journal of Cultural Heritage"
DOI: 10.1016/j.culher.2017.02.015
Abstract: Abstract Specific architectural elements can be identified in constructions located in regions frequently exposed to earthquakes. These earthquake resistant features were developed empirically by local communities to protect their built-up environment. Research in these traditional… read more here.
