Abstract

Interest in using timber for construction of multi-storey structures in seismic regions has been gaining significant momentum worldwide in recent years. As it is not common to use timber for constructing multi-storey seismic-resistant structures, engineers face new challenges related to their design and anticipated earthquake performance. To achieve improved behaviour during earthquakes, timber structures are sometimes integrated with seismic systems incorporating other materials, resulting in ‘hybrid timber structures’. This article presents a literature review on the topic, summarizing numerous hybrid timber structures constructed to date and examining the main research contributions in order to establish a background for proposing new timber-based seismic-resistant hybrid systems.
