INCREMENTAL ANALYSIS OF NAILED WOOD HORIZONTAL DIAPHRAGM UNDER THE IN-PLANE PURE SHEAR FORCE

Abstract

This paper presents the incremental analysis methodology for nailed horizontal diaphragm. This methodology utilizes the tri-linear slip model as the nailed shear joint. For the purpose of investigating the validity of the purposed methodology, the simulated results are compared with the experimental results. The results indicate the simulation result of the shear joint are almost same as the experiments. However the zigzag nailed shear joint has small deference between simulations and experiments. The reason of this deference is the influence from the structural elements except for the nails.
