This thesis introduces a new seismic loss model for woodframe buildings and examines how it can be used to provide input for the development of seismic performa

Key Terms: cross laminated timber, displacement-based seismic design, time history analysis, multi-storey timber structures, hysteretic behaviour

Woodframe construction is commonly used for single and multifamily residential buildings in the United States. In many parts of California, multifamily woodfram

In the last ten to fifteen years a vast amount of research has been undertaken to improve on earlier methods for analysing the seismic reliability of structures
