Assessment of the Seismic Response of CLT Shear Walls Using the EEGBW, a Bouc–Wen Class Predictive Model

The paper presents an application of the Extended Energy-dependent Generalized Bouc–Wen model (EEGBW) to simulate experimental cyclic response Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) panels. main objectives are assessing sensitivity quadratic error between and numerical data EEGBW parameters, showing fitting performance in matching CLT panels, highlighting stability nonlinear dynamic analysis with seismic excitation. research proves that considered class hysteresis can reproduce hysteretic structural arrangements characterized by pinching degradation phenomena. exhibits significant model’s versatility endorse its systems’ when Finite Element modelling might be impractical choice.
