As mass timber becomes increasingly popular in the United States and around the world, there comes more demand for mass timber in larger buildings. With this demand comes a necessity for these buildings to be able to withstand seismic forces; and in some locations, these forces can get quite high. Typical mass timber lateral systems (such as CLT shear walls) have worked fine for lower seismic forces and shorter buildings, but with this new demand comes a need for newer systems. Rocking timber walls is one of these systems. The goal of a rocking timber wall is to allow the lateral wall system to move in the case of high seismic force, thus reducing the loading the wall experiences. This is done with vertical post tensioning (PT) within cross-laminated timber panels (CLT). In addition, easily replaceable energy dissipation devices, such as U-shaped flexural plates (UFPs), allow for concentration of inelastic deformation during rocking of the walls, which keeps the CLT and PT components free from harm. Another system used to handle seismic load in tall mass timber structures are inter-story isolation systems. These systems can isolate the force at separate levels, effectively decreasing the load the foundation takes from the building's movement. Even newer than these systems is the Floor Isolated Re-centering Modular Construction System (FIRMOC), which utilizes rocking timber walls, inter-story isolation, and the addition of prefabricated modular mass timber to create a system capable of effectively and efficiently dealing with large seismic forces. This report seeks to present these innovative, capable, and effective lateral systems for seismic forces in large scale mass timber structures in a manner that provides understanding of how they work and what makes them effective.

The market for durable products using modified wood has increased substantially during the last few years. This is partly because of the restriction on the use of toxic preservatives due to environmental concerns, and to lower maintenance cost and time. Furthermore, as sustainability becomes a greater concern, the environmental impact of construction and interior materials is factored in planning by considering the whole life cycle and embodied energy of the materials used. Wood is modified to improve its intrinsic properties, enhance the range of applications of timber, and to acquire the form and functionality desired by engineers without calling the environmental friendliness into question. Wood modification processes are at various stages of development, and the challenges faced in scaling up to industrial applications differ. The aim of this book is to put together the key elements of the changes of wood constituents and the related changes in wood properties of modified wood. Further, a selection of the principal technologies implemented in wood modification are presented. This work is intended for researchers, professionals of timber construction, as well as students studying the science of materials, civil engineering and architecture. This work is not exhaustive, but intends to deliver an outline of the scientific disciplines necessary to apprehend the technologies of wood modification and its behavior during treatment, as well as during its use.

As the planet becomes more urbanized than ever before, tall buildings will continue to be essential to providing the level of housing, office, and retail space required to adequately serve dense populations. But if we are to simultaneously curtail the significant amounts of carbon released into the atmosphere by the building industry, these emerging buildings must incorporate materials that are equal parts renewable and resilient. The advent of mass timber products has provided such an opportunity, one with the promise of reinventing conventional approaches to not only tall building design and construction, but city-building as a whole. The papers within this book detail some of the cutting-edge mass timber innovations across energy-efficiency, structural improvements, technological advancements, and code and standard updates.This and other CTBUH Timber Rising outputs are funded and made possible by a grant from the USDA Forest Service.

Based on live blast testing done with 2015 Wood Innovations Grant funding, we know that cross-laminated timber (CLT) can compete with light gauge metal, prestressed precast concrete panels, and masonry. However, testing previously completed was on structures carrying only their own weight. This project will provide necessary test data to characterize the response of CLT structures with superimposed dead/live loads under blast loading, establishing the inelastic and ultimate response limits, while also providing documentation needed for design guidance offering an alternative to concrete and steel in military structures.

The mass timber panel industry, most prominently exemplified by cross-laminated timber (CLT), is a new phenomenon. It integrates elements of mass timber design, manufacturing technologies, and construction and has not followed typical commodity-oriented forest products industry models. In fact, it would be difficult to point to an adequate precedent. Organic development of the global mass timber industry over the last 25 years has produced substantial diversity in manufacturing processes, levels of automation, scales of operation, and products and services options, as well as in market strategies and modes of interaction with its extensive supply chain. Existing global mass timber operations offer a living laboratory that provides an understanding of both the current state of the industry and its trajectory and future development. Especially important are insights in how newly emerging markets may develop.
