This paper gives an overview of the seismic performance of glue laminated (glulam) timber frame buildings. It describes the wide range of connections that can be used in glulam frames, for both single storey and multi-storey buildings, with particular reference to seismic loading.
Several new connections incorporating epoxied steel bars are described in detail. Testing of these connections under simulated seismic loading is reported, with recommendations for seismic design.
A design procedure is given for low rise multi-storey glulam frame buildings.
