| Abstract |
A new type of connection by threaded steel shaft and drift pin has been developed. In this paper, the cyclic loading tests were conducted on moment-resisting timber frames with the connection detail. And a simplified analysis model was developed to present the test results. In this analysis model, it was assumed that the length of timber frame members, except for the plastic hinge zone, is elastic. A tri-linear model for beam-column connection and column-base connection was derived from previous component test results. Rotational rigidity values defined by tri-linear model were applied to the end of timber frame members. Comparing the results obtained from the cyclic loading tests and the results calculated by the analysis model, the validity of the modeling was confirmed. However, the breaking point of timber frame cannot be found by this model. |
