Wooden components are among the most important materials used for the seismic strengthening of timber frames. Using wooden members is a common practice today in historic building conservation in many countries. Chang et al. examined 18 full-scale specimens under reversed cyclic loading [88]. Shear ...
topology optimization can also be performed to reduce the amount of material used in a structure without compromising the structural integrity of frames. The results from this experiment portrayed promising results of load-bearing capacities and pseudo-ductility, which inspired an application of the rein...
The necessity to reinforce the modules for lifting and the doubling of floor, roof, and wall frames at the connection points leads to increased quantities of structural material [89]. In a case study, construction using the volumetric modular technique was completed 16% faster than that using ...
Moreover, the builders and suppliers had identified some ways to harmonize off-site prefabrication of timber. Some examples of timber prefabrication technology include joinery, doors and/or windows, structural floor/wall/roof frames, partitions, trusses, stairs, balustrades, and others. MEP services...
