Am. Tarabia et F. Kamiya, ANALYTICAL SEISMIC RESPONSE OF WOOD SHEAR WALLS USING HYSTERESIS MODELS OF NAILED JOINTS, Mokuzai Gakkaishi, 42(11), 1996, pp. 1064-1071
The nonlinear seismic response of wood shear walls was studied using s
ix hysteresis models for nailed joints: bilinear, hybrid, Clough, Q-hy
st, Origin-oriented, and Kivell models. The main objectives of the stu
dy were to investigate the performance and predictions of these models
and to find the major characteristics that influence the behavior of
shear walls when subjected to earthquake loadings. The obtained analyt
ical responses are compared with some existing test results. Maximum d
isplacements, maximum reaction forces, energy dissipation, and frequen
cy contents are the significant parameters used to compare the predict
ions of each model with the experimental results. It was found that mo
dels with stiffness degradation and pinching effects are the most suit
able models for nailed joints.
