“…This early research laid the groundwork for the further development of a posttensioned lateral force-resisting rocking wall system capable of utilizing a variety of mass timber products (Buchanan et al 2008). Posttensioned rocking walls made from LVL were eventually incorporated into a number of commercial projects including the 3-story Arts & Media Building in Nelson, NZ (Holden et al 2012).…”

This paper presents a new stochastic methodology for evaluating and quantifying the downtime of a structure in terms of a family of fragilities that represent the probability of exceeding prescribed times to return to functionality. This methodology integrates several existing concepts, namely, Federal Emergency Management Agency P-58 and Resilience-based Earthquake Design Initiative (REDi), to build a family of system (building) level fragility curves corresponding to the time needed to achieve different recovery levels (reoccupancy, functional recovery, and full recovery). This approach enables one to propagate uncertainty throughout the procedure so that variations in the delay time and repair schedules are accounted for in the resulting fragilities. As an illustrative example of this approach, the methodology is applied to assess the downtime of a two-story mass timber building that was originally tested at the NHERI@UCSD outdoor shake table in 2017. One unique aspect of this analysis is that it incorporates a relatively new material, cross-laminated timber (CLT), in a resilient posttension rocking wall design application. Nonstructural components representing a typical office building were selected and incorporated into the procedure for the two-story CLT rocking wall building. Time-to-functionality fragility curves are then developed for the two-story building, and potential design and resilience-focused applications are discussed.

“…Decreased length and dead weight of the walls enables to reduce time and cost of the building's erection. The platform framing joining method is considered as a preferable one for the buildings with amounts of the storeys equal or bigger than three (Holden et al, 2016;Virbule, 2015). Structure of the load-bearing shear walls is shown on the Figure 3.…”

“…Joints between the panels of shear walls have significant influence on the behaviour of multi-storey timber buildings. NMIT Arts and Media Building is a first of multi-storey timber framework buildings, which employs an advanced earthquake design, which enables to avoid the damages (Holden, Devereux, Haydon, Buchanan, & Pampanin, 2016). Increased stability of the building's structures in case of horizontal actions is provided by the special joints between the panels of shear walls.…”

Construction of multi-storey timber buildings represent solution to the global housing shortage which is caused by the increased urbanization and the densification of cities. Three-storey timber building with the platform framing method of major structural member’s joining of was considered as an object of investigations. The length and width of considered building were equal to 28 and 13 m, correspondingly. Simplified approach of load-bearing shear wall modelling, which is based on the replacement of the shear wall structure by the lattice structure with the equivalent stiffness, is presented. FEM models were developed by the softwares ANSYS 15.0 and Autodesk Robot Structural for verification of developed simplified approach. It was stated, that the difference between the horizontal displacements obtained for single member of shear wall structure by the developed simplified approach and developed FEM models does not exceeds 5%

“…Following the Canterbury earthquakes in 2010 and 2011 [1], the city of Christchurch suffered significant damage with many of the city's buildings undergoing large irreversible displacements or collapse [2], causing a 10% GDP loss on the New Zealand economy [3]. In the ten years after such events, Christchurch has undergone a large-scale rebuild of its city, with particular attention being paid to low damage designs which would prevent such widespread damage occurring again [4][5][6][7]. As a result, Christchurch has become one of the leading locations for the research and development of low damage buildings in the world [8].…”

Following the extensive damage to Christchurch’s infrastructure in the 2010 and 2011 Canterbury earthquakes, a complete rebuild of the city centre has been undertaken, with a particular focus on seismic-resilient buildings. This paper explores the application of different seismic-resilient technologies to buildings in Christchurch, by interviewing the structural engineers responsible for the design of six case study structures. Focus is given to the structural performance and benefits of each technology, and the key factors driving the clients’ and engineers’ decision to use the system. Comparisons are then made between resilient technologies, looking at the relative construction times and cost, areas of difficulty in design and construction, and the expected performance. Assessments are made of the knowledgeability of stakeholders, including clients and engineers, in resilient design, and the aspects that need to be addressed in the ongoing research and development of new and existing resilient technologies. Results show that the main factors identified driving clients’ and engineers’ decisions to use a seismic-resilient design were the structural performance, ease of construction and publicity. Key issues that need to be addressed during the development of new resilient systems are the durability, constructability and cost of a design, in addition to the production of design and construction aids, to both support engineers and contractors in the process, and encourage them to undertake a seismic-resilient design. Ideas are presented for increasing client and public awareness of different resilient systems available so that the demand and commission for seismic-resilient buildings in the city may increase.
