Abstract: Abstract Traditional light timber framing systems, comprised of stud to top and bottom plate connections, suffer from relatively low stiffness along compression perpendicular-to-grain of the plates, leading to excessive shortening of studs in mid-rise buildings.… read more here.

Abstract: In general, the satisfactory seismic performance of timber buildings can be partially attributed to the material characteristics of the wood itself and to the lightness of its own structure. The aim of this paper is… read more here.
