PRJ-2054: UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH EXPERIENCE (REU), NHERI 2018: SELF-CENTERING CROSS-LAMINATED TIMBER WALLS ERECTION AND INSTRUMENTATION PLAN

This project presents the erection and intended instrumentation plan for specific components of a 0.625 scale test of coupled self-centering cross-laminated timber (SC-CLT) walls at the NHERI_Lehigh Experimental Facility. The erection plan shows tasks vital for the success of the test specimen construction in the lab and the intended behavior of the designed connections. The instrumentation plan for select components of the test specimen includes calibration of chosen instruments and reasoning for instrument selection.
