Abstract: The development of innovative engineered wood products has greatly increased the possibility of using timber as structural material, opening new markets in the construction sectors, such as multi-storey residential and collective (e.g., schools) buildings. The use of timber structures is in fact still confined to low- and mid-rise buildings. The HyWood4Buildings project aims to overcome the existing constraints in the timber construction sector, proposing a novel hybrid structural system for taller timber buildings. This system combines two distinct but interacting components: a modular hybrid steel-timber lateral load resisting (HyST-LaR) system and a solid-sawn wall (SoN-Wall) system. This paper presents the structural characterization of the innovative HyST-LaR system through an experimental campaign at component-level and numerical analysis with a first glance to the development of an analytical model.
