In the past, while wood as a natural building material was preferred for only housing construction,
today, engineered wood products are used as structural elements even in many different projects such
as, schools, airport terminals, stadiums or indoor sport centres and finally in multi-storey houses
nowadays. On the other hand, the sustainability is becoming a key focus. Engineered wood products
are increasingly used for earthquake resistance as well as natural insulation and sustainable design.
Recent studies indicate that the earthquake resistant design through engineered wood products is
achievable and affordable. The seismic design of structures typically depends on the ductility of
members and connections. The innovative design techniques with wooden composites ensure that the
building is functional after a major earthquake event. Within the scope of this study, the earthquake
resistant design approaches and experimental results of New Zealand, Canada and Italy are addressed
for multi-storey wooden/wooden-hybrid structural systems. Member and connection types, posttensioning effectiveness, floor systems, sustainability and constructability will be focused.
