A Study on Seismic Performances of Timber Structures with Moment Resisting Joint


Abstract eng:
There has recently been increasing use of moment resisting joint in timber structures. In This paper, Analytical study for timber structures with a moment resisting joint have been performed. The joint is made up of steel plates, bolts and steel cotters. The plates and the bolts are embedded with timber element of frame structure. By combining those elements with steel cotters, moment resisting joints can be constructed easily. The skeleton curve of the joint was determined by results of static loading tests using a full scale timber model. The way to make hysteresis model of timber frame with the moment resisting joints from experiment results is proposed. And analysis using the model which supposed actual residence with the moment resisting timber joints was performed. The result of the analysis clearly shows seismic response characteristics and energy absorption performances of the timber frame structure.
