FEASIBILITY STUDY ON PRACTICAL USE OF TIMBER-STEEL HYBRID STRUCTURE

Abstract

In recent years, due to environmental considerations and design requirements, there are increasing opportunities to use timber members for nonresidential buildings. Therefore the authors have proposed a moment frame that uses steel materials for columns, and timber materials for beams, as well as its joining method. In this paper, the static and dynamic analyzes are performed by using the school and hotel column beam structure using timber-steel hybrid structure with dog bone as a model during a large earthquake. And a feasibility cost study was conducted of timber-steel hybrid structure and other structures to verify the practical application.
