CONTENT 5.1 SEISMIC BEHAVIOUR ... - CIB-W18

Based on cyclic testing of the known system, a normalization technique is
used such that data from conventional walls is compared to data collected
on SIP assembles. There are four criteria that are examined:
1. Ultimate Load
2. Stiffness
3. Deflection at allowable story drift, and
4. Normalized cumulative energy dissipation
If the SIP systems demonstrate equivalence to the light framed systems
based on the above criteria, it can be considered that the SIP systems have
equivalent seismic design coefficients, as given in the 2003 IBC (ICC), for
light framed walls sheathed with wood structural panels. Based on limited
testing of SIP assemblies with sealants, the assemblies can meet the
aforementioned criteria. It should be noted that since the performance of
SIP systems is sensitive to fastener type and sealant formulation, additional
matched tests may be required with significant changes in sealant formulation
and fastener type.

Background information on ISO standard 16670 for cyclic testing of
connections
Abstract
ISO (International Organization for Standardization) Technical Committee
on Timber Structures (ISO TC 165) convened in 1995 a working group
(WG7) for the development of international standards for connections. As
a first priority, the WG7 worked with a group of international experts and
developed the ISO Standard 16670 "Timber Structures – Joints made with
mechanical fasteners – Quasi-static reversed-cyclic test method" to provide
a cyclic test method as a basis for derivation of parameters which are
required in seismic design of timber structures. The cyclic test protocol in
this standard was used in various research studies in testing of joints as
well as shear walls. In this paper, the basic features and application of the
ISO 16670 are presented along with its differences with respect to other
standards.
Conclusion and Recommendations
The background information and some key features of ISO Standard
16670 for cyclic testing of joints in timber structures under earthquake
loads are presented. Because the standard was developed through international
collaboration, it is used and referenced in many countries. The inclusion
of ISO 16670 cyclic displacement schedule in the ASTM Standard
2126 (cyclic testing of shearwalls) is a positive step towards international
harmonization. It is recommended that a similar step be considered by other
national standards committees. It is also recommended that research
studies include reference tests conducted with ISO 16670 schedule to enhance
the comparability of results from other studies.
As performance-based engineering becomes more common in the design
of structures, designers will increasingly rely on the performance data
provided by testing, which reflects the demands from in-service conditions.
International standards provide a consistent basis for performance
comparison of systems and exchange of technical information, and facilitate
cooperative efforts to develop analytical models and improved design
procedures for timber construction.

Which seismic behaviour factor for multi-storey buildings made of
cross-laminated wooden panels?
Abstract
Day by day, multi-storey buildings made of cross-laminated wooden panels
(XLam) are becoming a stronger and economically valid alternative to
their counteracts built with concrete and masonry. Throughout Europe and
even in seismic prone zones, this construction type is gaining a broader
acceptance.
However, until now, in Eurocode 8 this constructive system is not yet
included and no recommendations are given regarding constructive details.
Especially regarding the value of the seismic behaviour factor to be used
in seismic design of this new typology of wooden buildings, no comprehensive
investigations have yet been undertaken.
In this paper, results from shaking table tests on a three-storey crosslaminated
wooden building are presented and the value of the seismic behaviour
factor is found on the base of the actual response of the building to
one quake.
