Invention of cross-laminated timber (CLT) was a big milestone for building with wood. Due tonovelty of CLT and timber’s complex mechanical behavior, the existing design codes cover onlyrectangular CLT panels, simply supported along 2 parallel or all 4 edges, making numerical methodsnecessary in other cases. This paper presents a practical eng...

Within this paper, we evaluated the quality of three Global Geopotential Models entitled: EGM96,EGM2008, and GOCO05c. The models were evaluated by using 1001 terrestrial discrete values ofheight anomalies determined by Global Navigation Satellite Systems and normal heights, which weconsidered to be true values within this research. In addition to t...

The SAP2000 finite element analysis software was applied to model the original frame and carry out the elasto-plastic time-history analysis method, with an existing irregular plane framework in Tianjin as the object of the study. Buckling-Restrained Brace (BRB) damping and anti-torsional reinforcement scheme was proposed based on the analysis resul...
