Duskin  \nAlia Amer, Dr. James Ricles, Dr. Richard Sause  \nLehigh University  \nATLSS  \nAbstract:  \nCross-Laminated Timber (CLT) is created by laminating timber boards together with alternating grain directions. Previous tests have been done to determine the material properties of CLT. However, a more accurate representation of CLT is needed to determine its response under bilateral loads, such as earthquakes. In the study described in this paper, instrumentation was setup to more accurately measure the response of CLT specimens under a compressive load. The results of compression testing are detailed in this paper.  \nIntroduction:  \nCross-Laminated Timber (CLT) is created by laminating timber boards together with alternating grain directions, as shown in Fig.1 . CLT walls are an innovative way to compensate for timber’s material weaknesses. Wood has much more compressive strength parallel the grain than perpendicular to the grain. By alternating the grain patterns, CLT walls provide strength in two directions. CLT walls are growing in popularity as a lateral load resisting material in Europe and some areas of the US (Karacebeyli et al. 2013) . However, CLT shear walls are not used in areas with high seismic activity, or in high-rise buildings. Experiments have been conducted to better understand the seismic performance CLT shear walls (Ganey et al. 2015) . Previous tests have been conducted on CLT walls that are conventionally connected to floor diaphragms (Dujic et al. 2008) .  \nEarthquake simulations show that CLT walls are capable of resisting severe earthquake forces, but will sustain some structural damage (Ceccotti et al. 2006) . A seismically resilient structural system for tall wood buildings can be achieved by using self-centering cross laminated timber (SC-CLT) walls.. CLT walls have been tested with unidirectional lateral loads (Tugce et al. 2017). However, CLT walls have not had adequate testing with bidirectional loads.  \nNot enough is known about the behavior of CLT walls under high seismic conditions. Models of CLT have been created considering the composite material properties ofCLT (Ganeyet al. 2015, Akbas et al. 2017) . However, under bidirectional lateral loads, CLT wall panels cannot be considered as an isotropic, uniform material. The study described in this paper aims to create data that can be used to create more accurate SC-CLT wall models in order to predict the behavior of SC-CLT in tall buildings without the need for lab testing.  \nMaterials & Instrumentation  \nFive cross laminated timber specimens, measuring approximately 6.875” by 6.875” by 20.625”, were created for material properties testing under compression.  \nLinear potentiometers (shown in Fig.2) were used to measure the deformation of the  \nspecimens along a gauge length. The potentiometers were calibrated by measuring the output voltage corresponding to being compressed at ~~ 110~~ ” intervals.The excitation voltage was five volts, and the initial output voltage was five volts. The plunger on the potentiometer was  \nthen compressed using gauge blocks, as shown in Fig.3, and the amount of voltage reduction was recorded. A coefficient corresponding to the ratio of inward motion of the plunge vs. voltage loss for each potentiometer was created using linear regression. The deflection measured by the  \npotentiometers during testing could then be determined by multiplying the coefficient with the voltage value from the potentiometer. When calibrating the plastic sliders, the voltages corresponding to the plunge being fully extended and fully compressed were not considered.  \nThe potentiometers were attached to aluminium plates, shown in Fig.4, which were then mounted onto the specimen. The potentiometers were arranged to measure the deflection of the specimen along its height at three equal length of 6.875”.
