A design method that leverages the structural characteristics of both CLT and steel frames is proposed to develop a hybrid structural system combining these two materials. First, a target structural performance is assumed, and the CLT’s wall volume and deformation performance are determined accordingly. Finally, the steel frame is designed to compensate for any performance shortfalls relative to the target. The results of a trial design using this method confirmed that the required seismic performance is achieved.
