Résumé
The present chapter examines different types of lateral-load-resisting systems (LLRSs) for taller timber buildings (TTBs). The LLRSs are presented with specific reference to their role in the seismic response of TTBs, and have been classified according to the main structural elements composing them. Therefore, timber-framed LLRSs, consisting of one-dimensional members, are first examined, followed by panelised LLRSs, featuring two-dimensional elements; mixed timber-framed and panelised LLRSs are then addressed. Next, hybrid timber-steel and -concrete, as well as volumetric modular LLRSs, are presented. Finally, a separate section is dedicated to the interaction of timber diaphragms with LLRSs in TTBs. Besides a comprehensive literature review, for each LLRS type, relevant examples of buildings realized in practice have been reported. In the final section, based on the analysed research studies from literature, the main future challenges and research directions for an effective, holistic design of LLRSs in TTBs, are addressed.
