“…Finishing materials such as gypsum wall board and exterior stucco also contribute and, in turn, causes a reduction in displacement response and fundamental period of the structure (Filiatrault et al, 2002). Furthermore, there is a need to incorporate the effect of wall finishing material (Christovasilis et al, 2008) and torsional effect (Van de Lindt et al (2010)) in performance-based approach.…”

This research project deals with dynamic field testing of light-frame wood buildings with wood based shear walls. The primary objective of the investigation is to evaluate the code formula for estimating light wood frame building's fundamental period, through intensive field testing and numerical modelling. The project also aims to propose an alternative simplified rational approach where applicable. The thesis provides insight to the ambient vibration testing procedures of light-frame wood buildings and explains the protocol adopted for the current research program. Experimental and numerical investigations were performed to evaluate the effect of non-structural components, and the connectivity between firewall-separated buildings, on dynamic properties of light-frame wood buildings. The study provides a reliable expression for building period estimate based on field testing and numerical modeling.iii

“…Recent experimental studies [16][17][18][19] regarding seismic safety of wooden buildings have showed that these building can be built up to 7-storeys in earthquakeprone areas and that they perform very well under strong seismic shaking with maximum averaged inter-storey drifts in the order of 2% and suffer only minor non-structural damage. As can be seen in these studies, the failure modes of wooden structures are ductile with fastener bending and embedment.…”

“…Brittle failures of the wooden structural parts are prevented by the plasticization of metal connections, which is achieved by designing the corresponding members for the overstrength of the connections [20]. In general two different construction types of wooden multi-storey buildings are used: (i) light frame wood structures in combination with steel frame [16,18,19,21,22] and (ii) solid wood structures with massive cross laminated timber panels [17,20]. This paper deals with the seismic analysis of multi-storey crosslam buildings.…”

Abstract:Recently, an increasing trend of passive and low-energy buildings transferring from non earthquake-prone to earthquake-prone regions has thrown out the question about the seismic safety of such buildings. The paper describes the most commonly used details of energy efficient construction, which could be critical from the point of view of earthquake resistance. The paper focuses on the prevention of ground floor slab thermal bridge and presents a case study on the seismic response of multi-storey wooden buildings founded on the RC foundation slab lying on a thermal insulation (TI) layer made of extruded polystyrene (XPS). The structural response is investigated with reference to the following performance parameters: the building's lateral top displacement, the ductility demand of the superstructure, the friction coefficient demand, the maximum compressive stress in the TI layer and the percentage of the uplifted foundation. A comparison between the response of models founded on a fixed base and models founded on a layer of TI with the same wooden crosslam structure differing in the number of storeys, strength capacity and subjected to earthquakes with different levels of seismic intensity is done. Regarding the building's top displacements, the maximum compressive deformation in the TI layer, and the percentage of the uplifted foundation, the results have shown that the potentially negative influences of inserting the TI under the foundation slab could be expected only for high-rise buildings subjected to severe earthquakes. Oppositely, for the superstructure's ductility demand and for the friction coefficient demand it was demonstrated that the largest demands could be expected in the case of low-rise buildings. The control of friction coefficient demand, which was recognized as critical parameter for analyzed wooden buildings, has shown that the capacity value could be exceeded yet in the case of moderate earthquake occurrence.

“…This means that the seismic design tall building structure should be combined with the degree of structural irregularities, improved the structural capacity, improved ductility deformation or both of these two methods to improve the selection of reasonable and realistic processing means to ensure safety performance. In order to design the seismic performance of the proposed method overrun rise building structure design, the owners need to measure the costs required for the design, seismic examined experts determine the feasibility of a special gauge designed around the needs of structural safety and architectural design coordination [3] .…”

Abstract. Earthquake-proof buildings are earthquake disaster mitigation priority work. Earthquake building structure may be determined, according to the design response spectrum method for determining been widely used in seismic design of buildings structures. In this paper, the structure should be designed to avoid damage in the earthquake collapsed, but the study of structural collapse behavior conducive to a better understanding of the mechanism of structural collapse and find effective anti-collapse methods. This paper was developed to simulate the complex structure collapsed procedures, through the numerical results were compared with the test, indicating that the numerical model can simulate the structural members of a variety of extreme nonlinear behavior. The structure is replaced by an equivalent single degree of freedom system corresponding to each mode and each equivalent displacement is determined using the proposed method. Thus, the seismic safety evaluation plays an important role. In recent years, with the accumulation of mature safety evaluation theory and engineering experience, the safety assessment has made great progress. Theoretical Introduction of Earthquake Response SpectrumEarthquake response spectrum can be widely applied in a single degree of freedom system, and can be decomposed into a modal method is applied to multi-degree of freedom system in seismic response. Due to post-structuralism into elastic-plastic response phase, the superposition principle no longer applies, and therefore, for most multi-degree of freedom system, application inelastic response spectra of seismic response analysis can only approximate displacement and performance evaluation structure, can't be considered high modes of influence.Research on the structure at this stage whether it is anti-progressive collapse of the entire structure from the global focus of the system, or from the details of the start node structure, and even research has a lot of progress from the failure mechanism inside, but we can find a lot of scholars using planar framework for analysis, not a plane frame, there are many linear static analysis, nonlinear dynamic analysis in recent years increasingly popular. As the height increases, lateral structure under lateral loads increases rapidly. Tall buildings vertical loads is accumulated in the vertical component from top to bottom layer by layer transfer, which will produce large axial deformation [1] . Therefore, the application of inelastic response spectra in engineering design is inelastic response spectra become standard design spectrum difficulties. Over half a century, many scholars have nonlinear seismic response of structures have done a lot of research, and made many useful insights. However, the current inelastic response spectra for research also can provide a major seismic design of this concept, and the relationship between the structure and the earthquake ground motion characteristics and structural dynamic parameters understanding. Tall building in central axial edge componen...
