In this paper the seismic performance of wooden buildings made of Cross-laminated-timber (XLAM) is illustrated as a part of an extensive research project undertaken in Trentino (Italy) to promote the use of XLAM for residential and non residential buildings. Strength, deformability and capability of dissipating energy are addressed. Design action reduction factor is also evaluated according to Seismic Eurocode format. Finally the amazing capability of shape keeping and self centering of such buildings under the design quake is highlighted.

Abstract

In this paper the seismic performance of wooden buildings made of Cross-laminated-timber (XLAM) is illustrated as a part of an extensive research project undertaken in Trentino (Italy) to promote the use of XLAM for residential and non residential buildings. Strength, deformability and capability of dissipating energy are addressed. Design action reduction factor is also evaluated according to Seismic Eurocode format. Finally the amazing capability of shape keeping and self centering of such buildings under the design quake is highlighted.
