EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON THE TWO STORY TIMBER FRAME STRUCTURE USING DRIFT PIN JOINTS(Structures)

Abstract

In this paper, the static loading experiment on the two story timber frame structure using drift pins are reported. The experiment was carried out in two construction stages. The first stage is the one in which the columns, the beams and the floors were constructed, and the second stage is the one in which the bearing walls were added to them. The contribution to the stiffness of this wooden structure by the frame and the bearing walls are examined experimentally.
