In order to face the rising challenges of increased global warming, coming up with new and sustainable solutions for the building industry is important. This has led to an increased interest for timber as a building material, ...

This thesis treats ambient vibration testing of civil engineering structures with a special attention given to timber structures. It presents an open-source Python module that allows to perform two very much used output-only ...

In the perspective of seismic engineering the adoption of Capacity Design principles requires that ductile failure mechanism take place before the failure of brittle members. This work investigates the causes and implications ...

So far, few in situtests have been carried out to estimate the modal parameters of multi-storey Cross-Laminated-Timber (CLT) buildings: the understanding of their dynamic behaviour under operational conditions is still an ...
