A comprehensive study on seismic performance of wood frame building in hilly regions is presented. Specifically, seismic fragility assessment of a typical wood frame building at various locations of the northeast region of India are demonstrated. A three-dimensional simplified model of the wood frame building is developed with due consideration to nonlinear behaviour of shear walls under lateral loads. In doing so, a trilinear model having improved capability to capture the force-deformation behaviour of shear walls including the strength degradation at higher deformations is proposed. The improved capability of the proposed model to capture the force-deformation behaviour of shear wall is validated by comparing with the existing experimental results. The structural demand values are obtained from nonlinear time history analysis (NLTHA) of the three-dimensional wood frame model considering the effect of uncertainty due to record to record variation of ground motions and structural parameters as well. The ground motion bins necessary for NLTHA are prepared based on the identified hazard level from probabilistic seismic hazard analysis of the considered locations. The maximum likelihood estimates of the lognormal fragility parameters are obtained from the observed failure cases and the seismic fragilities corresponding to different locations are estimated accordingly. The results of the numerical study show that the wood frame constructions commonly found in the region are likely to suffer minor cracking or damage in the shear walls under the earthquake occurrence corresponding to the estimated seismic hazard level; however, poses negligible risk against complete collapse of such structures.

흰개미 방제 및 방곰팡이 효력이 입증된 저독성 네오티코치드계 목재보존제가 집성재 제조용 레조르시놀계 접착제의 접착력에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. ACQ, CUAZ, 네오니코치드계 약제를 도포 처리한 다음 건조시킨 소나무 판재를 사용하였으며, 집성 접착 후에 블록 전단시험편을 채취하여 상태 및 촉진 열화 시험 후의 전단접착력과 목파율을 측정하여 비교하였다. ACQ 및 CUAZ 처리 집성재는 무처리 및 네오니코치드계 목재보존제 처리 집성재에 비하여 낮은 전단접착력을 보여 접착력 저하가 인정되었다. 이것은 이들 방부제 중에 함유되어 있는 구리화합물에 기인하는 것으로 판단되었다. 네오니코치드계 목재보존제 처리 집성재는 상태 및 촉진열화 시험 후에도 가장 우수한 전단접착력을 나타내 레조르시놀계 접착제의 접착성능에는 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 판단하였다.

This paper presents seismic performance and reliability evaluation on steel-timber hybrid shear wall systems composed of steel moment resisting frames and infill light frame wood shear walls. Based on experimental observations, damage assessment was conducted to determine the appropriate damage-related performance objectives for the hybrid shear wall systems. Incremental time-history dynamic analyses were conducted to establish a database of seismic responses for the hybrid systems with various structural configurations. The associated reliability indices and failure probabilities were calculated by two reliability methods (i.e., fragility analysis and response surface method). Both methods yielded similar estimations of failure probabilities. This study indicated the greatly improved seismic performance of the steel-timber hybrid shear wall systems with stronger infill wood shear walls. From a probabilistic perspective, the presented results give some insights on quantifying the seismic performance of the hybrid system under different seismic hazard levels. The reliability-based approaches also serve as efficient tools to assess the performance-based seismic design methodology and calibration of relative code provisions for the proposed steel-timber hybrid shear wall systems.

While establishing adequate load paths in the light-frame wood structures is critical to maintain the overall structural integrity and avoid significant damage under extreme wind events, the understanding of the load paths is limited by the high redundant nature of this building type. The objective of the current study is to evaluate the system effects and investigate the load paths in the wood structures especially the older buildings for a better performance assessment of the existing building stock under high winds, which will provide guidance for building constructions in the future. This is done by developing building models with configurations that are suspicious to induce failure per post damage reconnaissance. The effect of each configuration to the structural integrity is evaluated by the first failure wind speed, amajor indicator beyond the linear to the nonlinear range. A 3D finite-element (FE) building model is adopted as a control case that is modeled using a validated methodology in a highly-detailed fashion where the nonlinearity of connections is explicitly simulated. This model is then altered systematically to analyze the effects of configuration variations in the model such as the gable end sheathing continuity and the gable end truss stiffness, etc. The resolution of the wind loads from scaled wind tunnel tests is also discussed by comparing the effects to wind loads derived from large-scale wind tests.

To evaluate the shear performance of the textile glass fiber and the sheet glass fiber reinforced glulam bolted connections, a tension type shear test was conducted. The average yield shear strength of the bolted connection of reinforced glulam was increased by 12% ~ 31% compared to the non-reinforced glulam. It was confirmed that the shear performance of 5D end distance of the glass fiber reinforced glulam connection corresponds to that of 7D of the non-reinforced glulam connection proposed in building design requirements in various countries. Compared to the non-reinforced glulam, the average shear strength of textile glass fiber reinforced glulam was markedly increased. The non-reinforced glulam and the GFRP reinforced glulam underwent a momentary splitting fracture. However, the failure mode of textile glass fiber reinforced glulam showed a good ductility.

구조용 목재부재의 성능 예측에 가장 큰 영향을 끼치는 옹이를 활용하여 유한요소 수치해석을 실시하였다. 다른 구조용 재료와 달리 목재의 경우 직교이방성을 나타내기 때문에 이를 적용하였고 옹이를 실린더 형태, 원추형 형태, 육면체 형태로 모델화 하였다. 목재 부재에 대해 실제 압축강도실험을 실시하여 그 파괴형태를 파악하고 최대강도값을 계산하였으며, 각 부재의 치수와 옹이의 크기, 위치, 개수를 반영한 수치해석 모델을 제작하여 유한요소해석을 실시하였다. 실험에서 얻어진 최대압축강도를 적용한 수치해석을 실시하여 옹이자료에 따른 각 부재의 응력분포형태를 파악하고 이를 실제 부재의 파괴형태와 비교 분석하였다. 수치해석에 소요되는 시간이나 요수 분할의 어려움, 옹이 주위의 응력 전달의 유사성 등에 기준했을 때 실린더 형태의 요소가 가장 타당하다고 판단되었다. 또한 응력 분포 모양과 변형 분포 모양을 비교한 경우 유한 요소 수치해석의 결과에서 응력이 가장 집중되는 부분과 변형이 가장 심하게 발생한 주위에서 실제 시편의 파괴나 균열이 발생함을 알 수 있었다. 이를 기초로 유한요소 수치해석법을 직교이방성과 옹이 모델링을 적절히 적용할 경우 휨응력을 받는 부재와 인장 응력을 받는 부재 등의 성능 해석에 유용한 수단으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This paper presents experimental and numerical tests on a recently developed timber column concealed base joint. This joint was designed to replace the wood-wood connection found in the post-and-beam structure of Hanok, the traditional Korean timber house. The use of metallic connectors provides an increased ductility and energy dissipation for a better performance under reversed loading, especially seismic. In this study, we investigate the performance of the joint under pseudo-static reversed cyclic moment loading through the study of its ductility and energy dissipation. We first perform experimental tests. Results show that the failure occurs in the metallic connector itself because of stress concentrations, while no brittle fracture of wood occur. Subsequent numerical simulations using a refined finite element model confirm these conclusions. Then, using a practical modification of the joint configuration with limited visual impact, we improve the ductility and energy dissipation of the joint while retaining a same level of rotational strength as the originally designed configuration. We conclude that the joint has a satisfying behavior under reversed moment loading for use in earthquake resistant timber structure in low to moderate seismicity areas like Korea.

Cyclic tests were performed with dowel joints which are being widely used for furniture manufacturing in Korea. In this study, effects of various factors-such as species of joint members, diameter and length of dowels, and space between dowels-on stiffness, strength and damping ratio of joints were evaluated and concluded as follows: 1. Under cyclic loads, failure of dowel joints were caused by bending failure of dowels. 2. Dowel joints were evaluated to be stiff but general load carrying capacities were relatively low. 3. Joint moduli and damping ratios of dowel joints decreased as diameter and length of dowels, and space between dowels increased. 4. In dowel joints, properties of dowel itself have greater effects on stiffness and strength of joints than properties of joint members.

In this study, bending and compression strength tests were performed to investigate effect of composition of layer layout of Larix cross-laminated timber (CLT) on mechanical properties. The Larix CLT consists of five laminae, and specimens were classified into four types according to grade and composition of layer. The layer's layout were composited as follows 1) cross-laminating layers in major and minor direction (Type A), and 2) cross-laminating external layer in major direction and internal layer applied grade of layer in minor direction (Type B). E12 and E16 were used as grades of lamina for major direction layer of Type A and external layer of Type B according to KS F 3020. In results of the bending test of CLT using same grade layer according to layer composition, the modulus of elasticity (MOE) of Type B was higher than Type A. In case of prediction of bending MOE of Larix CLT, the experimental MOE was higher than 1.00 to 1.09 times for Shear analogy method and 1.14 to 1.25 times for Gamma method. Therefore, it is recommended to predict the bending MOE for Larix CLT by shear analogy method. Compression strength of CLT in accordance with layer composition was measured to be 2% and 9% higher for Type A using E12 and E16 layers than Type B, respectively. In failure mode of Type A, progress direction of failure generated under compression load was confirmed to transfer from major layer to minor layer by rolling shear or bonding line failure due to the middle lamina in major direction.
