Modeling yielding links of wooden frame structures
Abstract
The methodology of modeling yielding links for the nonlinear analysis of wooden frame structures is presented. The numerical model proposed in the paper is based on the concept of limited nonlinearity, and is characterized by easy presentation of link behavior results to be determined by testing. It is emphasized that the use of this numerical model of yielding links, combined with test results, enables an overall analysis of wooden structures, by combining the analysis of the structure with that of the links.
