Seismic Response Comparison of Full-Scale Moment-Resisting Timber Frame and Joint Test Result

This paper presents the seismic performance of moment-resisting timber frame (MRTF). In Japanese urban areas, there are many small houses, and it is difficult to design a wooden building ensure both comfortable plan that effectively makes use constrained sites, also lacks flexibility in design. Therefore, expectations rising for high MRTF using residential members. this study, clarify dynamic behavior under heavy wave, we conducted full-shaking table test 2-story composed members with short sides. The structure was designed by allowable stress (ASD) resist 1.5 times earthquake ground motion required Building Standard Law (BSL) linear analysis frequent loading conditions (snow, wind, events corresponding return period approximately 50 years), unidirectional full-scale shaking tests were conducted. did not collapse up peak acceleration 0.87 g experienced ∼1/20 rad maximum interstory drift. indicates an method can secure large earthquake. time-response based on joint tests, but stiffness analytical result little lower than experimental result. Then, tried parameter identification quality engineering reproduce behavior. results indicated moment resistance higher because stressed-skin effect floor.
