Title:
 “The Hive: A 10-Storey Timber Braced Frame with Seismic Dampers”
Description:
 "The Hive is a 10-Storey timber office building in Vancouver, British Columbia. The structural lateral system comprises timber braced frames around the perimeter and four internal CLT shearwalls. Both the shearwalls and the braces frames are coupled with Tectonus seismic dampers, to dissipate energy during a seismic event. The project design was completed using non-linear time history analysis, and a robust peer review process.
The building is currently regarded as one of the most seismically advanced timber structures in the world. Its pioneering approach of a central pin rocking shearwall concept, coupled with self-centring Tectonus dampers at each end, allows the building to be self-centring with no damage to the compression toe, a strong alternative to post-tensioned rocking shearwalls.
The project is currently in construction with completion slated for late 2025. The superstructure is completed.
The presentation will focus on the design and rationale of the seismic system, the structural testing of gravity connections for drift comparability, and the many lessons learned. Construction and fabrication highlights will also be shared, with a focus on tolerances.

Calgary is a beautiful city. This is a city park. Princes Island Park has a rich natural scenery. The park is full of various green beauty plants and flowers. It is quite comfortable in the evening. The whole area is also good.

Peace Bridge

It seems that a tunnel bridge is also a nearby transportation hub through the river. This bridge is very eye-catching in color, red intersecting institutions, no vehicles, people and bicycles can pass freely, there are lights at night, Feng Jia is beautiful. [View] Very beautiful
