In the triumvirate of dominant structural building materials--wood,metal, and masonry--each has its advantages, but none are as intertwinedwith the human spirit as wood. Thirty-five public buildings illustrate how heavy timber framing can address familiar programmatic issues such as structure, economics, aesthetics, and sustainability. Timber framing can also have a positive effect on human emotions and physiology. In addition to being warm to the touch, wood building interiors have been widely proven to reduce blood pressure and heart rate and to speed convalescence in health care facilities. More than 450 photos, plans, and diagrams show how wood framing components from solid timbers to glulams and peeled logs are designed for durability and expressiveness. The finished projects aptly demonstrate what it means not only to shape buildings, but how they shape us.

Engineering analysis of heavy timber structures under dynamic loads is generally lacking. Some literature suggests that heavy timber structures are stiffer than expected, but popular engineering opinion is to the contrary. In addition, prior research has shown that passive friction dampers can be used in timber structures for the intended purpose of increasing energy dissipation under seismic loadings. This study was conducted based on the hypothesis that heavy timber structures require bracing for seismic design and further that heavy timber performance under seismic loads will benefit from the addition of passive dampers. A computational study was designed to assess the performance of a two-dimensional model heavy timber structure when it is subjected to a seismic ground motion. Five building systems were included in the investigation; all were two story, single bay timber frames with 1-percent inherent material damping. The frames were differentiated by connection characteristics, the presence or absence of bracing, and the presence or absence of friction damper devices. The five building systems were: (1) moment-resisting frame (rigid connections, no bracing); (2) semi-rigid frame (semi-rigid connections, no bracing); (3) pinned braced-frame (pinned connections, concentric braces); (4) braced damped pinned-frame (pinned connections, cross braces with dampers); (5) semi-rigid damped frame (semi-rigid connections, concentric bracing with dampers). By subjecting these five structural configurations to the same ground motion, the effects of the connection rigidity, bracing, and dampers can be resolved as measured by story drift and member forces. The ground motion used was a corrected, unscaled, USGS Loma Prieta record with maximum acceleration of 1.05 g. The study frame was designed with access floor loading with computer use for a geographic location near San Francisco following the Uniform Building Code and the National Design Specification for Wood Construction. Beams and columns were glulam. The semi-rigid connections were designed as a dowel circle connection following DIN 1052, which is widely used in Europe. The software used for the investigation was DRAIN-2DX. Semi-rigid connection behavior was implemented using the Florence Model. The DRAIN-2DX software does not have a dedicated damper element. A damper element would produce a rectangular displacement-force hysteresis when subjected to a fully reversed cyclic load; the key features of this hysteresis behavior are brace stiffness followed by nearly zero stiffness at a defined force. A brace-damper superelement was created by using two compression/tension link elements in parallel with an inelastic bar element. This combination of elements produced the necessary behaviors, and the performance was verified in a single story, single bay frame subjected to a piecewise forcing function and demonstrated in a two story, one bay timber structure. The results of the analyses for the five building systems are specific to the Loma Prieta seismic ground motions. The semi-rigid moment-resisting frame remained within allowable drift limits, which suggests that the dowel circle connection produces satisfactory moment resistance. The braced pinned-frame and the braced-damped, pinned and semi-rigid frames responded similarly to each other because the large cross-section timber brace in the low rise, low mass system results in an extremely stiff structure. These structures are so stiff that the damper does not function. Evidence suggests that a rotational damper may be functional in semi-rigid connections of unbraced timber frames, but computational development of the rotational damper is needed.

Prepared by the Subcommittee on Evaluation, Maintenance, and Upgrading of Timber Structures of the Committee on Wood of the Structural Division of ASCE. This report presents information on technical aspects of inspection, evaluation, reinforcement, repair, and rehabilitation of timber structures. Any structure, regardless of the material from which it is made, may be subject to a review of its ability to perform a specific function or functions. This report reviews factors that influence the serviceability of wood structures, including loadings, duration of loads, temperature, moisture and weathering. Effects of chemicals and fire, as well as insects, fungi, and other organisms that attack wood are also covered. Designing to avoid problems caused by these factors is discussed. Inspection techniques and equipment are described, along with guidelines on where to look and what to look for. A section of evaluation of wood structures includes criteria such as structural analysis, determination of loads, and estimating load carrying capacity.
