Self-centering resilient structures are here! The Hive has seen rapid upward mobility over the summer months, having recently reached level 7. From a pedestrian viewpoint, the visible timber braced frame system is a precursor to the striking honeycomb-like façade design that, upon completion, will be an external expression of this structural feature. Featuring a unique seismic force resisting system of timber braced frames and central pin rocking shearwalls with Tectonus dampers, the structure is designed to be self-centering, allowing the building to be more readily occupiable after a significant earthquake. The central pin rocking shearwalls are a first-of-a-kind, featuring balloon framed triple height lifts and rotating connections at each level. Make sure you swipe through to see these amazing details up close. ➡️ DIALOG | Ventana Construction Corporation | George Third & Son | Kalesnikoff | Apex Structural Design | ISL | Supreme Steel l MTC Solutions Second photo courtesy of Ventana Construction Corporation Visit https://lnkd.in/g5NquWMc to learn more. #masstimber #structuraldesign #structuralengineering #timberconstruction #clt
