This paper reports a parametric study of various CLT building configurations, to define the effects of some significant structural characteristics on their seismic response and therefore on appropriate q-factor values. An analytical procedure to calculate such values for CLT structures is proposed, starting from building geometry and wall composition. The effects of over-strength factors in designing joint types are also studied. Two independent validations demonstrate the reliability of the proposed method.

Abstract
This paper reports a parametric study of various CLT building configurations, to define the effects of some significant structural characteristics on their seismic response and therefore on appropriate q-factor values. An analytical procedure to calculate such values for CLT structures is proposed, starting from building geometry and wall composition. The effects of over-strength factors in designing joint types are also studied. Two independent validations demonstrate the reliability of the proposed method.File in questo prodotto:
