CONTRIBUTIONS OF PLYWOOD SHEAR WALLS AND PLASTERBOADS ON SEISMIC RESPONSE REDUCTION OF TIMBER STRUCTURES USING WOOD FRICTION-BASED DAMPERS

The study deals with the damage control system of wooden houses using wood friction-based dampers subjected to earthquake motion. In this study, friction joints were developed introduce damping into shear walls. Shaking table tests also conducted investigate seismic performance two-story timber structures composed plywood walls, plasterboards and walls high devices. purpose is propose an estimation method required quantity damper satisfy restriction value story drift angle for continued use after
