As cities are getting denser and larger, tall buildings are becoming prototype of large and expanding cities around the world. Among the conventional building materials used in the last century, timber is increasingly becoming more prominent with its engineered production and smaller ecological footprint. Although mass timber in high rise construction is getting more common, there still is not enough information on how an all-timber high rise will be affected by the fire, wind, or seismic forces. In addition, many designers are resorting to the use of reinforced concrete or steel lateral load resisting systems in mass timber buildings instead of using wood exclusively.Lateral system design alternatives with timber for high rise construction were developed, focusing on timber braced frame building systems. A timber braced frame exoskeleton was analyzed in different locations in the world that are dominated by lateral loads. Skidmore, Owings & Merrill’s Dewitt-Chestnut Apartments in Chicago, Dewitt Chestnut Apartments, was taken as the benchmark building. SOM’s ongoing research: “Timber Tower Research Project” had already applied the concept of converting this building to timber, which then was used to develop a new timber structural. Based on the research by SOM, further investigation on the building was made in order to design the lateral system from wood, with the assumption that the building was being relocated to Los Angeles as a region dominated by seismic forces, focusing initially on downtown Los Angeles, CA. The results showed how an efficient lateral design topology can be achieved in terms of strength, carbon footprint, cost, and material quantity. Further application of the load resisting frames and their variation in typology can be studied in different locations that are subjected to different lateral forces. The workflow aimed to be used as a guideline to design and improve mass timber lateral systems, which can serve as a more sustainable alternative to steel and concrete.
