Abstract
This paper discusses the development of a general three-dimensional co mputer model for the analysis of light-frame wood buildings. The model includes the development and assembly for the stiffness matrices of d iaphragms, and intercomponent connections and the use of an iterative incremental method to handle the nonlinear nature of the problem. Lump ed mass and damping matrices are utilized for performing dynamic analy sis. A comprehensive verification study of the model is conducted usin g other finite element analyses and available experimental data. Excel lent correlations are obtained. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
