Seismic Analysis of woodframe structures ii model implementation and verification
Journal of Structural Engineering-asce, 2004Co-Authors: Bryan Folz, Andre FiliatraultAbstract:This is the second of two companion papers on the Seismic Analysis of woodframe structures. In Part I, a simple numerical model was formulated to predict the dynamic characteristics, quasistatic pushover, and Seismic response of woodframe buildings. This numerical model has been incorporated into the computer program SAWS (Seismic Analysis of woodframe structures). Here in Part II, attention turns to implementation and verification of the SAWS model. To this end, the predictive capabilities of the SAWS program are compared with experimental results obtained from recent shake table tests performed on a full-scale two-story woodframe house under the CUREE-Caltech Woodframe Project. It is shown that the SAWS computer program provides reasonably accurate estimates of the dynamic characteristics, quasistatic pushover, and Seismic response of the test structure. Furthermore, the SAWS program requires a minimum amount of data input and provides a fast computational turnaround time in which to analyze a given structure. As a result, this simple numerical may be a useful structural Analysis tool for practicing engineers and researchers involved in the Seismic design and/or Analysis of woodframe structures.

Seismic Analysis of woodframe structures i model formulation
Journal of Structural Engineering-asce, 2004Co-Authors: Bryan Folz, Andre FiliatraultAbstract:A simple numerical model to predict the dynamic characteristics, quasistatic pushover, and Seismic response of woodframe buildings is presented. In this model the building structure is composed of two primary components: rigid horizontal diaphragms and nonlinear lateral load resisting shear wall elements. The actual three-dimensional building is degenerated into a two-dimensional planar model using zero-height shear wall spring elements connected between adjacent diaphragms or the foundation. The degrading strength and stiffness hysteretic behavior of each wood shear wall in the building can be characterized using an associated numerical model that predicts the walls load-displacement response under general quasistatic cyclic loading. In turn, in this model, the hysteretic behavior of each shear wall is represented by an equivalent nonlinear shear spring element. With this simple approach the response of the building is defined in terms of only three degrees of freedom per floor. This numerical model has ...

Seismic Analysis of building with shear wall on sloping ground
International Journal of Research, 2018Co-Authors: Sumit Paul, Nikesh G RathodAbstract:This study investigates the Seismic performance of shear wall building on sloping ground. The main objective is to understand the behavior of the building on sloping ground for various positions of shear walls and to study the effectiveness of shear wall on sloping ground. The performance of building has been studied with the help of four mathematical models. Model one is of frame type structural system and other three models are of dual type (shear wall - frame interaction) structural system with three different positions of shear walls. Response spectrum Analysis is carried out by using finite element software SAP 2000. The performance of building with respect to displacement, story drift and maximum forces in columns has been presented in this paper.
