In this report, we confirmed the dynamic behavior of the timber frame structures with visco-elastic damper and elasto-plastic member and constructed a shear spring model. First, dynamic and static loading tests of passively controlled timber frame were conducted in order to examine properties. Also, the characteristic value of damper was calculated. Second, static loading tests were carried out against the frame in two states ; without damper and rigid damper. The behavior of timber damping frames can be reproduced roughly by using a nonlinear spring in a shear spring model.
