Safety and robustness of tall timber buildings under extreme dynamic events

该项目旨在开发高质量木结构建筑的创新和坚固的结构连接，通过表征它们在地震或渐进性倒塌等极端事件引起的动态载荷下的力学行为。该项目希望在安全、经济和高效的大型木结构建筑设计方面产生新的知识。该项目的预期成果包括为工程界提供增强的健壮性设计指南。这将带来显著的好处，例如有助于采用可行的低成本木材住房解决方案，以应对人口增长，并有助于到2050年实现澳大利亚的净零排放，以及在城市发展中过渡到更安全和有弹性的基础设施。

This project aims to develop innovative and robust structural connections in tall mass timber buildings by characterising their mechanical behaviour under dynamic loads induced by extreme events like earthquakes or progressive collapse. This project expects to generate new knowledge in the safe, economic, and efficient design of mass timber buildings. Expected outcomes of this project include enhanced robustness design guidelines for the engineering community. This should lead to significant benefits, such as contributing to uptake of viable low-cost timber housing solutions in response to population growth and contributing to net zero emissions in Australia by 2050, and transition to safer and resilient infrastructure in urban development.
