Seismic Analysis of Woodframe Structures. I: Model Formulation
Abstract
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 …
