Response of laminated glass-CLT structural components to reverse-cyclic lateral loading

Innovative hybrid structural components composed of cross-laminated timber frame and laminated glass infill were tested to examine their response on the reverse-cyclic loading. Ductile timber-frame joints with glued-in steel rods and especially designed glass-to-timber contacts with no adhesive proved to provide high ductility and energy dissipation of structural components. In total, 20 tests of full-scale specimens were carried out; three bare...
