Abstract
In the 2010 National Building Code of Canada (NRC 2010), certain structures can be designed for seismic loads using an equivalent static force procedure. In these provisions, elastic design forces are reduced by a ductility factor, Rd, which accounts for the ability of different systems to deform beyond yielding. The NBCC 2010, however, only provides ductility factors for traditional structural systems, including timber- or steel-based systems; there are currently no specific Rd factors for hybrid structural systems. Thus research is required to safely and efficiently design novel systems within the existing seismic design provisions. The FFTT system, an acronym for “Finding the Forest Through the Trees” is an innovative building system proposed for high-rise timber-steel composite structures using mass timber panels connected with steel beams. This research presents nonlinear dynamic analyses to propose an Rd factor for design Option-1 of the FFTT system considering the uncertainties of structural mass, hold-down stiffness, and connection properties of the lateral load resisting system. Based on the analyses presented herein, a ductility factor of 5.0 is deemed reasonable for design Option-1 of the novel timber-steel hybrid system.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
