The purpose of the work is the evaluation of the behaviour of new wooden buildings with the installation of new dissipative wooden panels. Parametric analyses were conducted considering the use of the dissipative panel only, the system consisting of the panel coupled to an X-Lam wall and the use of steel braces. First, the sizing of the structures was carried out through a response spectrum dynamic analysis, to evaluate the conditions in which the panel could provide the best contribution. To this scope, a first parametric comparison was made considering a 9-storeys wooden building located in three sites in Italy, namely Bolzano, Fisciano and Calitri. Only for the Calitri location, which is characterized by the higher seismic intensity, the investigation was completed through a second parametric comparison which evaluated the contribution of the panel with the variation of the number of storeys with the scope of investigating if the panels are more suitable for high rise or low-rise buildings. Finally, to check the dissipative behaviour of the structural system incremental dynamic analyses (IDA) and non-linear static analyses (pushover) were executed.
