the wall panel, so the window opening will not<br />

significantly affect the strength of the outside wall<br />

segments. For the interior, the door openings do interrupt<br />

the CLT walls (due to the height of the door openings)<br />

so these walls are broken into smaller segments. Note<br />

that the X direction is the longitudinal direction in the<br />

floor plan while the Y direction is the shorter direction.<br />

curve. The backbone curve for CLT walls used in the<br />

design can be readily obtained using the simplified<br />

model and calibrated connector parameters obtained<br />

earlier. Thus DDD can be utilized to design the CLT<br />

building presented in this paper. Detailed description of<br />

the DDD procedure can be found in [12]. The basic<br />

philosophy of DDD is to identify the required story<br />

lateral resistance at prescribed drift levels enabling the<br />

designer to select shear walls that satisfy this<br />

requirement. Three performance objectives were adopted<br />

in the design of the CLT building, limiting the maximum<br />

inter-story drift under different hazard levels. Because<br />

the inter-story drift level correlates well with seismically<br />

induced damage to a building, the performance<br />

objectives outlined in Table 3 will also ensure minimal<br />

damage during these earthquake events.<br />

Based on the performance objectives, the target point for<br />

the backbone curve for each story was identified using<br />

DDD. Design of the CLT building was conducted by<br />

choosing the CLT wall configuration for each story to<br />

produce a backbone curve that will satisfy (be larger<br />

than) the corresponding target point. The CLT walls<br />

selected for each story in both directions are listed in<br />

Table 4. The resulted backbone curves for all stories<br />

were plotted in Figure 8, together with the target points<br />

for these stories resulting from DDD.<br />

3.2 PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVE AND DIRECT<br />

DISPLACEMENT DESIGN<br />

Direct Displacement Design (DDD [11]) was the design<br />

approach employed in the NEESWood research project<br />

to design the NEESWood Capstone building for<br />

prescribed drift limits under different levels of seismic<br />

intensity. It was validated through full scale shake table<br />

test of a six-story light frame wood building. In fact, the<br />

DDD method can also be applied to any lateral<br />

resistance system which has a clearly defined backbone<br />
