DESCRIPTION:Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) is one of the latest engineered wo
 od products to show promising structural features for a variety of structur
 al purposes. For CLT to be widely adopted\, its dynamic behavior needs to b
 e fully evaluated through experimental and numerical methods. Therefore\, i
 t is important to the continued expansion of CLT use\, to further understan
 d the influence of environmental hazards and factors such as earthquakes an
 d moisture exposure. This dissertation sets out to contribute to the unders
 tanding of CLT’s dynamic parameters using a multi-scale approach. The focus
  of the dynamic identification of CLT in this dissertation centers on three
  scales\, namely: (1) the building scale\, (2) the structural system scale\
 , and (3) the structural element scale. The building scale’s dynamic identi
 fication and finite element results help illustrate the impact of non-struc
 tural components to the dynamic behavior of a CLT building under service co
 nditions. Results on the system scale experiment illustrate effects of appl
 ied ground motions and structural retrofitting based on observed damage. Te
 sts conducted on the CLT element scale illustrate that the floor element st
 iffness was not affected by weathering cycles. Based on the findings of thi
 s study\, areas of future work on the dynamic identification of CLT structu
 res were identified.\n\nIgnace Mugabo was born in the Democratic Republic o
 f Congo and grew up in Rwanda. He did his undergraduate studies in Civil an
 d Construction Engineering at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. He
  is currently pursuing a dual Ph.D. in Wood Science and Civil Engineering. 
 While at Oregon State University\, he worked on research involving the dyna
 mic identification of CLT. After graduation\, he plans work for KPFF Consul
 ting Engineers in Portland\, OR.
