Description. With the increased usage of Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) in the United States, research efforts have been focused on demonstrating CLT as an effective Seismic Force Resisting System (SFRS). Presented in this paper are the findings offull-scale shake table testsof a two-story 223 m2 (2400 ft2) building with two sets of CLTshear wallson the first and second story
