Abstract There is increasing public pressure for damage avoidance structural systems using new engineered wood products, especially cross-laminated timber (CLT), in countries with high levels of seismic activity, such as New Zealand, to minimise the destruction after severe earthquakes with no post-event maintenance. This study presents damage avoidance lateral load-resisting systems (LLRSs) using rocking timber panels and the innovative resilient slip friction joint (RSFJ) technology. RSFJs can be used as hold-downs or as ductile links between adjacent walls or between the walls and boundary columns. These joints are capable of providing a self-centring behaviour (the main deficiency of conventional friction joints) in addition to a high rate of energy dissipation, all in one compact package. In addition, a novel type of shear-transferring device is introduced to be used as the shear key for rocking structural members. The proposed concepts are described and verified by large-scale experimental tests and numerical simulations. The results confirm that the introduced systems can be considered as the new generation of resilient LLRSs for timber construction.

使用创新连接为新西兰木结构开发弹性抗震解决方案

摘要 在新西兰等地震活动频繁的国家，使用新型工程木制品，尤其是交叉层压木材 (CLT) 来避免破坏结构系统的公众压力越来越大，以最大限度地减少严重地震后的破坏，而无需任何后期处理。 -事件维护。本研究介绍了使用摇摆木板和创新的弹性滑动摩擦接头 (RSFJ) 技术的抗损伤横向负载系统 (LLRS)。RSFJ 可用作压紧装置或用作相邻墙之间或墙与边界柱之间的延性连接。除了高能量耗散率之外，这些接头还能够提供自定心行为（传统摩擦接头的主要缺陷），所有这些都在一个紧凑的包装中。此外，介绍了一种新型的传剪装置，作为摇摆结构构件的剪力键。通过大规模实验测试和数值模拟来描述和验证所提出的概念。结果证实，引入的系统可以被视为新一代的木结构弹性 LLRS。
