In this paper, we present a new approach to calculate the horizontal load carring capacity of a wooden structure consisting of structural components with different deformation capacities. The conventional perfect elasto-plastic model is found to be improved by adopting a safety limit angle that gives the same potential energy for the individual components.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
