This paper provides an overview on some experimental and analytical activities conducted by the authors, on a balsa wood scale structures that was designed for a Seismic Design Competition (SDC) organized by Earthquake Engineering Research Institute from USA. Highlights are presented in the paper focusing on experimental researches including the design, the analytical approach, and the laboratory tests executed on shaking table facility and equipment available at the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca.

5. CONCLUSION

The main objective - to design and construct a balsa wood structure that will satisfy all the technical and economical requirements imposed by the organizers – was successfully achieved. The structural architecture has the ecological concept imposed by the organizers through its carved shape that allows a natural lighting and ventilation of the entire structure and by maximum use of the entire rentable area. The parameters that define the seismic response, that were obtained through both methods, analytical and experimental, and that were delivered to the organizers as predictions to the final behaviour of the structure, were very close to the actual values that were recorded during the competition(less than 5% error). The fact that the designed structure obtained points in all grading fields (structural, architectural, and prediction) proves the fulfilment of the UTC-N team objectives at SDC 2013.
