Seismic Design and Testing of Post-tensioned Timber Buildings With Dissipative Bracing Systems

This paper describes a seismic design procedure for low-damage buildings composed by post-tensioned timber framed structures coupled with hysteretic dissipative bracing systems. The main goal of the design procedure is preventing or limiting earthquake-induced damage to the structural and non-struct...
