| Abstract: | Timber structures are characterized by a pinching phenomenon that leads to reduced dissipative capability. A few hysteretic models have been proposed to simulate the mechanical behavior of timber structures, among which the one composed of a bilinear element and a slip element in parallel has been popular in practice. Based on this model, this paper expands on the existing seismic control design methodology to determine the capacity of hysteretic dampers for multi-story timber structures. The equivalent linearization method for a single-degree-of-freedom timber structure with added hysteretic damper is established and is verified through nonlinear timber history analysis over a wide range of structural parameters. The design formulas for determining the damper capacity for a multi-degree-of-freedom system are derived, based on the concept of adjusting the distribution of equivalent stiffness of structure. The seismic control design is applied to many buildings with randomly generated parameters and the effectiveness is confirmed through a nonlinear time history analysis with four sets of seismic excitations. An extended study has shown that the shear force pattern plays an important role in the seismic control design results and thus the performance of structures. The effectiveness of the control of residual deformations by adding dampers is also studied. |
