“…Several numerical modeling approaches have been proposed for nonlinear dynamic analysis of wood‐frame buildings subjected to earthquakes (Collins et al, Tarabia and Itani, Folz and Filiatrault, Pang et al, and Pei and van de Lindt). These approaches focus on different modeling scales and employ various model reduction techniques.…”

Summary The authors present a methodology to reconstruct nonlinear seismic response and assess seismic performance of instrumented wood‐frame buildings subjected to earthquakes. The paper proposes the use of a nonlinear model‐based state observer that combines global acceleration measurements and a nonlinear structural model of the building to estimate the complete dynamic response including displacements, velocities, accelerations at all degrees of freedom of the model, and internal forces in all structural members. From the estimated dynamic response, engineering demand parameters are obtained and compared with performance‐based acceptance criteria to determine post‐earthquake building occupancy classification. The methodology is successfully verified and validated using seismic response measurements and photographic records from the 2009 NEESWood Capstone building full‐scale tests conducted at the E‐Defense facility in Japan.

1This paper presents new procedure modeling based on finite element method analysis of wood-framed timber structures. The fasteners linking boards of sheathing with the timber frame both modeled applying shell finite element, with individual material parameters, remain the main objective of this manuscript. Material parameters are obtained from experimental tests and numerical identification. The main objective of the paper is the elaboration of the numerical model with high precision of mapping, and, at the same time, diminishing the number of the unknown simplifying the process of the modeling of timber structures. The new presented method leads to a simplification of analysis of multistory wood-framed multifamily building structures.

“…In practise, fasteners are most often simulated with springs or with extra layers to which special material characteristics, simulating actual situation, are attributed. The most accurate way of modelling timber-framed walls using the finite element method (FEM) has been used by many researchers; see for example Ayoub [9], He et al [10], Vessby et al [11], Tarabia and Itani [12], Foschi [13] and Falk and Itani [14]. The FEM modelling of timber-framed walls was also presented in Kozem Šilih et al [15], where timber frame was simulated with line elements, sheathing boards with shell elements and staples with spring elements.…”

a b s t r a c tThis paper presents mathematical modelling of timber-framed wall where a braced frame with one fictive diagonal is used. The model is suitable for analysis of lateral loads on the structure. Its advantage compared to other models is its simplicity, the fact that it is easy to use in practise, and its suitability for use with simpler and cheaper programs for static and dynamic analysis. Further numerical calculations were performed, which showed good approximation with experimental studies and with the finite element method. The Tower 6 program for static and dynamic analysis has been used to model timber-framed walls. Appropriate stiffness of timber-framed wall is obtained by varying the cross-section of the fictive diagonal. Because the cross-section of the fictive diagonal is directly connected to the analytical calculation of the stiffness of the timber-framed wall, this model is also able to factor in different spacing distance, different sheathing boards, the appearance of tensile cracks in a sheathing board, as well as walls with glazing or openings.
