  1. A lateral force resisting system (LFRS) comprised of one eight-foot-wide Mass Ply Panel (MPP) with Buckling-Restrained Braces (BRBs) was attached to the building frame and tested following a cyclic quasi-static loading protocol up to 4% roof drift ratio. This system was designed to pivot about a pinned base, allowing the wall to rotate with minimal flexural restraint, thereby distributing drift demands more uniformly across the building height and reducing crushing damage at the wall base. Under first-mode loading, the system exhibited stable hysteretic behavior with a nearly uniform story drift profile, while second-mode loading revealed near-linear behavior with high stiffness. Experimental results provide valuable insights into the behavior of mass timber seismic lateral force-resisting systems and can be reused to develop and validate design guidelines for their broader implementation in seismic regions.
