For the traditional wooden building in Taiwan, the wooden panels are adopted to partition the interior space and infilled piece by piece in the wooden frame. According to the building damage investigation after earthquake, it is observed that these wooden walls act as an element of the lateral resistant system, especially in the stage of large deformation. Thus, in the seismic assessment of this kind of traditional building, the wooden panels should be well considered in the model to be analyzed. In this study, the panel walls infilled in the wooden frame of traditional building is tried to be modeled as an equivalent compressive bracing. For the modeling, firstly, we calculate the load-displacement relationship curve of the panel wall. The dowel action of bamboo nails between two panels and the rocking behavior of the panels caused by the compressive deformation of the confining timber was also counted in the calculation. Second, the effective width of the equivalent bracing is defined in accordance with the stiffness of the panel wall in the elastic stage. Then, four performance stages of the bracing has been suggested to define the plastic hinge properties. In the four performance stages, the yielding strength of the bracing is defined as the confining timber begin to yield, and the ultimate strength is reached when the dowel action of bamboo nails failed. The maximum deformation of the bracing is assigned as 1.5 times the diagonal compressive deformation of panel wall. The diagonal deformation is calculated when the confining timber reached its allowable bearing stress. The bracing model has been used in the pushover analysis of a frame of Yanshuei Octagonal Display Hall - a registered heritage architecture of Tainan City. The analysis shows the panel walls will increase the structure stiffness and ultimate resistant load. Besides, it is also observed that several panel walls just begin to yield, when the frame joints have seriously damaged and the structure has experienced large deformation, which will avoid the structure to be completely collapsed. |
