Seismic performance evaluation and full-scale shaking table test of timber frame, conventional construction and composite structure

Abstract

This paper describes seismic behavior of three different wood construction, timber frame with moment resisting joints, conventional wood house with shear wall and composite structure consisting moment frame with resisting joint and shear wall on the same floor.. Some performance evaluation procedure such as allowable stress design, horizontal load-carrying capacity method using pushover analysis and so on. The shaking table test was conducted to evaluate the capability of seismic design method. The non-linear skeleton curve is good agreement between analysis and test result in timber frame with moment resisting joint and composite structure but ii is a key point to determine the limit deformation of column and joint in bending. In conventional construction, the skeleton curve calculated from cumulation of shear wall including non-structural wall in structural design is 10 to 20% lower than that of test result as well as the past similar study.
