Investigation of Modular Cross-Laminated Timber Rocking Walls and Rocking Wall -- Light-Frame Shear Wall Dual Systems for Seismic Resilience
… design of post-tensioned cross-laminated timber rocking walls (PT-CLT-RW) for resilient wood construction. This research focuses on experimental, analytical, and numerical investigations into PT-CLT-RW systems, both as stand-alone and as a dual lateral force resisting systems (LFRS) with wood …

Influence of soil parameters on the motion of rocking walls
… a system in earthquake engineering in 2004 [6], rocking walls are a fairly new system in earthquake engineering. Their performance has been proven, both in research as in practice. However, a few uncertainties about their behavior still remain. One of these uncertainties is the effect of …

Design of innovative dynamic systems for seismic response mitigation
Rocking wall systems consist of shear walls, laterally connected to a building, that are moment-released in their strong plane. Their purpose is to mitigate seismic structural response by constraining a building primarily to a linear fundamental mode. This constraint prevents mid-story failure, and …

Construction and seismic testing of a resilient two-story mass timber structure with cross laminated rocking walls
… structure with a resilient post-tensioned rocking wall lateral system made from cross laminated timber (CLT) product. The post-tensioned rocking walls helped to dissipate seismic forces while allowing the other parts of the structure to remain damage-free through multiple seismic events. …

Seismic performance evaluation of full-scale mass timber structures: comparative insights from tall and mid-rise shake table test programs
… incorporated a post-tensioned mass timber rocking wall system, a low-damage gravity framing system, and drift-compatible non-structural components. Standing 34.4 m (113 ft) tall with a uniform 84 m² (900 ft²) floor plan, it was constructed and tested on the NHERI@UCSD outdoor shake table in …
