Response of laminated glass-CLT structural components to reverse-cyclic lateral loading

摘要

Innovative hybrid structural components composed of cross-laminated timber frame and laminated glass infill were tested to examine their response on the reverse-cyclic loading. Ductile timber-frame joints with glued-in steel rods and especially designed glass-to-timber contacts with no adhesive proved to provide high ductility and energy dissipation of structural components. In total, 20 tests of full-scale specimens were carried out; three bare frames, six frames with single glazing and eleven frames with double glazing. Deformation capacity, lateral strength, stiffness and strength deterioration and energy dissipation capacity were analysed in order to provide data for the future development of computational models and design guidance for the new codes.
