Timber Shear Walls

Cross-laminated Timber (CLT) is increasingly being used in tall buildings. However, there are some challenges when designing high-rise CLT structures, amongst them the need for novel hold-downs (HD), for shear walls. While commonly used HDs behave as a dissipative connection, the current Canadian Standard for Engineering Design in Wood recommends designing HDs as a non-dissipative connection. As hyperelastic material, an elastomer (rubber) is capable to carry high loads without inelastic deformation. This thesis presents experimental studies at material- and component-levels using a hyperelastic rubber HD solution for CLT walls. A total of 53 quasi-static monotonic and cyclic tests were performed. The HDs exhibited high strength and deformation capacity without any residual deformation after unloading. The shape factor and loaded area of rubber layers were found as the main effective factors on the rubber HD’s response, and an empirical load-displacement relation was also developed based on these parameters.

Earthquake Load

The advancement of high rise building has been increasing on a large scale. In tall structures shear wall often resisted the lateral load induced by wind and earthquake but as the building height increases the stiffness of the structure reduces. To provide sufficient lateral stiffness of the structure implementation of outrigger system between the shear walls and peripheral columns is often used. The aim of this study is to identify the optimum shape of outrigger belt truss in tall buildings under earthquake load condition. A thirty storey with single belt truss, forty five storeys with two belt trusses and sixty storey with three belt trusses structure was investigated with three different shape outrigger belt truss that is X, V and N. The optimum location by providing single belt truss at 10th story, 15th story and at top story in thirty story building is considered in the analysis. From the analysis a comparative study are made with and without variation of shape of outrigger with belt truss with parameters likes storey displacement and storey drift under earthquake loading and get a optimum position of outrigger belt truss for thirty storey building with single belt trusses placing at different locations.

Liquid Dampers

This paper focuses on the use of multiple tuned liquid dampers (TLDs) as passive control devices to reduce the multi-modal responses of tall buildings and high-rise structures to earthquake ground motion excitation. A model of a three-story building with one and two TLDs was installed on a shaking-table. The system was subjected to three earthquake time histories. Then, the mechanical models and the equations of motion for the systems of tall buildings and high-rise structures with TLDs are established. Here, the solution of the dynamic liquid pressure is based on the method of the volume of fluid and the seismic responses are obtained by use of the state equation. The comparisons show that theoretical results are generally in good agreement with experiments. It is observed that the approach presented in this paper has proved to be quite effective both in the numerical example and in the seismic simulating tests.

Composite Shear

Shear walls are the primary lateral load-carrying elements in tall buildings. The composite shear walls with double steel plates and filled concrete are composed of two steel plates with studs inside, they were developed to enlarge the building space, and to delay the appearance of cracks by using the steel plates as formwork. Double skin composite wall panels can offer high strength and robustness while improving the convenience of construction, with great potential for application in nuclear power plants

Analysis of the structure characteristics of the high-rise building, through the instrument observation, obtains each observation point’s total of subsidence and maximum subsidence, found no settlement of building site. Using the fi-nite element software for structural modeling, modal analysis shows that the quality of structural system, the stiffness is more evenly distributed the structure of the torsional capacity to meet the requirements. The model input Tianjin wave, analyzes the dynamic characteristics of the model, the results showed that: structure below the middle and lower classes, with the building height decreases, the horizontal displacement of reducing the magnitude of the structure of the middle and upper classes, with the building height increases, the horizontal displacement increases, a lesser extent; frame - shear wall structure, shear walls there are substantial limitations in the bottom of the lateral displacement, compared with the upper structure of the lateral displacement limit capacity.

The article is devoted to the analysis of technical and economic efficiency of application of tube confined concrete structures in high-rise construction. The study of comparative costs of materials with the use of different supporting columns was carried out. The main design, operational, technological and economic advantages of the tube confined concrete technology were evaluated, conclusions were drawn about the high strength and deformation properties of axial compression of steel tubes filled with high-strength concrete. The efficiency of the tube confined concrete use is substantiated, which depends mainly on the scale factor and percentage of reinforcement affecting its load-bearing capacity.

Monotonic Load

The results for monotonic (ramp load) and slow cyclic racking tests of timber shear walls are presented. The tests are part of an extensive experimental and analytical study to investigate the behaviour of timber shear walls subjected to earthquakes. The results of full-size shear wall tests show the important influence of the nail connection between the sheathing and the framing on the load-displacement characteristics of shear walls. The premise that the hysteresis for the shear wall is contained within an envelope defined by the monotonic load-displacement curve for the wall is confirmed. Also, the hysteresis is studied to determine the physical behaviour that causes the shape of the hysteresis to be dependent on the maximum displacement of the wall. Both the monotonic and cyclic racking behaviours of timber shear walls are established; and the performances of plywood and waferboard sheathed shear walls are compared. Key words: full-scale monotonic and cyclic tests, plywood, waferboard, timber shear walls.
