Structural Damage Evaluation of Multistory Timber–Steel Hybrid Structures through Shake Table Tests

Timber-based hybrid structures provide a prospective solution for utilizing environmentally friendly timber material in the construction of midrise or high-rise structures. This study mainly focuses on structural damage evaluation type timber–steel structure that incorporates prefabricated light wood-frame shear walls into steel moment-resisting frames (SMRFs). The such was evaluated through shake table tests 4-story large-scale structure. Four ground motion records (i.e., Wenchuan earthquake, Canterbury El-Centro and Kobe earthquake) were chosen tests, with consideration three different probability levels minor, moderate, major earthquakes) each record. During performed quite well visual only to wood walls. No SMRFs frame-to-wall connections observed. correlation seismic intensity, modal-based index, interstory drift is discussed. reported work provides basis knowledge performance-based design (PBSD) timber-based
