RESEARCH ON SEISMIC DESIGN METHOD FOR GLULAM FRAME STRUCTURE WITH TENSILE-BOLTED MOMENT RESISTING JOINTS

- Proposal for a design method to estimate stiffness and strength of column - base joints subject to axial force -

Abstract

The aim of this research is to establish a design method for the glulam frame structure with tensile-bolted moment resisting joints. In this paper, we proposed a calculation method of the stiffness and strength of column - base joints subject to axial force and conducted the bending test for the column-base joint subject to compressive axial load to grasp the failure modes and the characteristic values. From the comparison of the test values and the calculated values, we confirmed the validity of the proposed method.
