M

Mild steel or dissipation devices

Advantages of “Controlled Rocking” behavior:Reduced level of damage in the structural elements

Negligible residual (permanent) deformations

Rocking Concrete Systems

PRESSS TechnologyThe hybrid Connection

•Dissipation design is a trade-off between amount of energy

Effect of Dissipation on Post-tensioned System

•Dissipated and re-centering capability

•Dissipation also adds moment resistance

Rocking Timber Systems – PRES-LAM technology

Application to Timber (Palermo et al. 2005)

• Combines post-tensioned cables and mild steel dissipation• Developed for concrete• Material independent

Case Study

Seismic Design MethodsForce Based DesignElastic (5% damped) acceleration spectrum in accordance to NZS1170.5 to be used for the case study building (Z=0.3, 1/500 year, Soil D)

Common-Practice Force-Based Design (FBD) Procedure (adapted from (Sporn et. al 2013)

Check MCE level (roughly 1.5 ULS) – Expected rupture of dissipaters but no yielding of tendons!

• Frames: yielding drift around 1%, ULS-ductility = 2-2.5 (maximum design drift 2-2.5%)

• Walls: yielding drift around 0.5%, ULS-ductility = 2.5-3 (maximum design drift 1-1.5%)

Hierarchy of strength for post-tensioned timber frames and walls

Seismic Design MethodsDispacement Based Design (modified from Priestley et al., 2007)

Check MCE level (roughly 1.5 ULS) – Expected rupture of dissipaters but no yielding of tendons!

• Frames: ULS = maximum design drift 2-2.5%

• Walls: ULS = maximum design drift 1-1.5%

Viscous dampers etc.)3. Anchorages4. Post-tensioning losses

Pres-Lam walls for Seismic loading

1. High strenght bars are preferrable to strands 2. Similar dissipaters to beam-column joints can be

used but their locations should be more centred otherwise the dissipater will fail prematurely in tension or, if too long it will fail prematurely in compression

3. Anchorages are similar to frames. It’s important to design thickness of the steel plate to diffuse the load. The plate must have the sam width of the timber wall.

4. Sheark keys at wall-to-foundation (no dowel action!)

5. Post-tensioning losses are less critical then frames (only timber loaded perpendicular to the grain
