摘要: |
Connections in mass timber structural systems transfer lateral forces from mass timber elements such as shear walls to floor diaphragms. Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is a prominent engineered mass timber material used to manufacture walls and floor assemblies. Fire performance research of CLT walls and floors has been abundant in recent years in an effort to develop an understanding of the performance of structural members under fire. Some fire-protected structural elements, including connections, may not be directly exposed to flames in a fire event but will experience elevated temperatures. There is limited research on elevated temperature performance of CLT connections, and consequently a lack of understanding of their fire performance in CLT structures. To aid in bridging this knowledge gap, in this study a series of cyclic shear tests were conducted on a CLT wall-to-floor bracket connection assembly to characterize thermal degradation according to a matrix of 28 exposure duration-temperature combinations. Two different methods were employed to develop force-displacement backbone models from the experimental hysteresis data. Models from both methods indicate an overall degradation of the connection performance in terms of load carrying capacity, elastic stiffness, ductility, and energy dissipation with increasing exposure to elevated temperatures. |
