ELASTIC DEFORMATION FOR STRONG AXIS ON CLT ROCKING WALL-COLUMN UNDER LOCAL COMPRESSION

Abstract

This paper reports on tests to confirm the elastic deformation of wall columns, in the research of Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) rocking wall columns conducted by the authors. We conducted monotonic compression experiments to understand the elastic behavior of CLT wall columns. We also calculated only the compressive deformation in part of the CLT for strong axis and compared the experimental values with the calculated values. As a result, when the wall height was sufficiently high compared to the wall width, the elastic deformation of the wall column could be roughly evaluated by calculating only the compressive deformation.
