Seismic design method based on spectrum capacity procedure for timber semi-rigid frame with oil damper

This research is about equivalent linearization method based on calculation of response and limit strength for SDOF model of timber structure with oil damper installed on the slip type main frame. By integrating many literatures, the evaluation of oil damper effects in vibration control design by extended limit strength calculation method is shown. By comparing with time history response analysis of SDOF model and full scale shaking table experiments of the 1 story timber semi-rigid frame structure with oil damper, the accuracy of extended limit strength calculation method has been verified. © 2020 Architectural Institute of Japan.
