Mass Timber Series Day 3 – Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) Shear Wall Design Example

Seismic force resisting systems based on Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) shear walls have garnered considerable attention for use in building structures around the world for many years with standardization as a seismic force resisting system happing in the U.S. for the first time with inclusion of seismic design requirements in 2021 Special Design Provisions for Wind and Seismic (SDPWS) and in ASCE 7-22 Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures. This presentation summarizes the CLT shear wall design example contained in the 2020 NEHRP Provisions: Design Examples, provides background on the new system, and illustrates application of the CLT shear wall system design requirements through a design example.

• Course will award 1.5 hours of continuing education

Speakers:

Philip Line, P.E., is currently AWC’s director of structural engineering with 29 years of experience in structural engineering, building codes, standards, and guideline development. Responsibilities include planning of structural research and working with AWC’s consensus standards committee to update the National Design Specification® for Wood Construction (NDS®), Wood Frame Construction Manual (WFCM), and Special Design Provisions for Wind and Seismic (SDPWS). Mr. Line participates in code development hearings, product evaluation hearings, and in ASTM and ASCE consensus standards committees.

M. Omar Amini, Ph.D., is AWC’s Manager, Wind and Seismic. He has more than nine years of experience in structural design, experimental design, modeling of wood structures for resistance to wind and seismic loads, and development of tornado fragilities for residential structures used in US community resilience studies. Dr. Amini’s standards experience include development of Special Design Provisions for Wind and Seismic provisions for CLT shear walls and participation as a member of the ICC Residential Assessment and Seismic Retrofit Committee. He has also authored and co-authored over 20 journal and conference papers.
