Estimation Of Shaking Table Test Of Timber Frame And Analytical Examination

Abstract

This study presents comparison of the results calculated from time history analysis and shaking table test of wood houses. Wood houses consist of timber frame with moment resisting joint, post and beam construction with shear walls and their composite structure. As the result, maximum displacement by numerical model corresponds to the result of shaking table test. Based on the confirmation of the capability of numerical model, some analytical parametric study were conducted. Main result obtained from the studies is that timber frame with moment resisting joint should be evaluated and be structural designed using horizontal load-carrying capacity in addition to allowable stress design.
