1 Compressive Bracing Moel for Panel Wall Use to Infill Traitional Wooen rames T.. Chen, J.S. Chang & P.L. Chen epartment of Architecture, ational Cheng Kung Universit, Tainan, Taiwan SUMMARY: In this stu, in orer to investigate the contribution of earthquake resistance of wooen panel wall that often use in traitional wooen builing in Taiwan, we tr to moel the panel wall as an equivalent compressive bracing. or moeling, firstl, the loaing-isplacement relationship curve of the panel wall is calculate. The owel action of bamboo nails between two panel unit an the rocking behavior of the panel were counte in the calculation. Secon, the effective with of the equivalent bracing is efine in accorance with the stiffness of the panel wall in the elastic stage. our performance stages of the bracing have been suggeste to efine the plastic hinge properties. Using the bracing moel, a pushover analsis for a traitional woo frame builing has been execute. Accoring to the analsis, it is observe that the panel walls o improve the builing stiffness an increase ultimate resistant loaing. Besies, the analsis also shows the panel walls occurre amage visibl after the frame joints have been seriousl amage. This behavior coul be aopte to explain wh the traitional woo builings scarcel completel collapse after 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake even the frame has seriousl amage an large eformation has reache. Kewors: wooen wall, In-plane Loaing, shear wall, wooen panel, Taiwanese wooen builing 1. ITROUCTIO In Taiwan s traitional woo builing, the wooen panel wall is often aopte to partition the interior space. The panel wall is infille piece b piece in the wooen frame. Accoring to the builing amage investigation after earthquake, it is foun that these wooen panel walls were helpful to reuce the amage egree of the builing in the earthquake, especiall to avoi collapse of the traitional builing. Thus, it is reasonable to require the wooen panel wall well consiere in the analzing moel for seismic assessment. The main purpose of this stu focus on (1)moelling the panel wall as an equivalent compressive bracing an () efining the plastic hinge properties of ifferent performance stages for this bracing. urthermore, in this stu, a traitional builing is selecte to examine the structural influence of the wooen panel walls uring push-over analsis.. TE COSTRUCTIO O TE WOOE PAEL WALL ig. 1 is the traitional wooen panel wall in Taiwan. The wooen wall is constructe with a main wooen frame, an the wooen panels are infille piece b piece in the frame. or reucing the height/with ratio of the panel to avoi panel buckling, in construction, horizontal auxiliar wooen member an vertical auxiliar members are arrange, which ivie the wall into several small parts. ig. shows the connection etail of the wooen panel wall. The wooen panels are inserte into the groove of the wooen beam. Between two ajoining panels, bamboo nails are riven in both of the panels to prevent panel sliing.

TE BEAVIOR O TE WOOE PAEL UER I-PLAE ORIZOTAL LOA or the wooen panel wall, because the contact surface between the panel an wooen beam can t take tensile stress, the panel will rock uner in-plane loaing. As shown in ig. 3., the iagonal of the rocking panel act as a compressive bracing to resist the in-plane loaing. The bamboo nails between two ajoining panels also provie shear strength for preventing the slie of panel interface. On the other han, the reaction from the bracing wall will cause beam to have compressive eformation. This eformation of the beam will lea the panel to have aitional rotation an increase the total horizontal isplacement of the wall. orizontal isplacement orizontal Loaing P Shear stress cause b bamboo nails Compressive bracing effect on the iagonal area igure 3.

Compressive Bracing Effect of Iniviual Panel iagonal Area In assessment, the iniviual panel can be simplifie as a compressive brace on the iagonal of the panel. As shown in ig. 4., we can get the expression of strain of the compressive brace(eqn. 3.1) when the horizontal isplacement of the panel unit is S. urther, we can also get the expression of stress b Eqn. 3.. The stress-strain relationship of the woo is assume as ig.5.

Eqn. 3.4 to Eqn. 3.6 are the normal stress an shear stress on the interface between wooen panel an beam. Because the interface between wooen panel an beam can t resist the tensile stress, a half with of the panel woul separate from the beam when the panel rocks. Thus we assume the effective acting with of the compressive brace is a half with of the panel.

The isplacement of the panel cause b the compressive eformation of the beam As the panel rocks uner in-plane loaing, it will act compressive force to the beam an cause the beam to have compressive eformation. ig.7. shows the aitional isplacement R of the panel cause b the compressive eformation of the beam. In the compressive area of the beam, the eformation istribution assumption is illustrate in ig.8. The compressive eformation ecreases linearl from ege corner to the panel center, an the maximum eformation B on the beam ege corner can be formulate as Eqn W R B (3.9) R W compressive area cos (, ) ( B, B) elastic area inelastic area compressive area W / igure 7. The isplacement cause b the compressive eformation of the beam The compressive stress an eformation of the beam are relate to both the imension of the beam an the fillister(ig. 9.). or estimating the compressive force an eformation of the beam, the strength (ig. 10.) of the unit length of the beam is assume that the stress on the surface of the fillister is equal to the compression strength perpenicular to the grain. The strength BU is epene on the situation when the average stress of the beam reaches the strength perpenicular to the grain. Accoring to this assumption, the compression strength an eformation can be obtaine as: BU BU b (3.10) B igure 8.

The shear eformation of the bamboo nails is equal to W tan. or the angle is ver small, we can replace tan with sin an get the Eqn W P (3.17) W W tan W sin (3.18) :the owel force per bamboo nail :the number of bamboo nails In-plane loaing P Wtan W Shear force igure 11. or the owel action of bamboo nail, Chang(007) conucte a ouble shear test for the bamboo nails (ig.13).

This curve was efine b three amage behavior of the wall, which are (1) The maximum compressive stress B of the beam reaches the strength, an the loaing an eformation of the brace is efine as P an.

SEISMIC ASSESSMET APPLICATIO, S The bracing moel evelope for the traitional wooen wall has been practice in the seismic assessment of Yan-shuei Octagonal all which is a registere heritage architecture of Tainan Cit.

In the moel, the equivalent compressive bracing of wooen panel walls were given corresponing axial force plastic hinge setting. Besies, all beam-column joints also has been assigne with ifferent moment plastic hinge b the metho given in the reference (Chang et.al,011).

Uner the in-plane push loa, the joints in the porch area amage first, an then the wooen wall brace in the porch area exceee the ultimate strength. The main wooen wall in the first floor amage until the rift angle of the builing

Obviousl, uring earthquake excitation, this wooen panel wall will help avoiing the builing collapse, even the woo frame has performe consierable large eformation. This phenomena also has been observe ver often in the 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake. 7.(5.18ton,15.97%) 4.(6.40ton,11.79%).(6.04ton,9.6 5.(6.64ton, (6.64ton,1.98 %) East sie 1.(5.6ton,8.14%) 1.(5.6ton,8.14.(6.04ton,9.6%) 6.(6.56ton,14.37%) West sie 3.(6.51ton, (5.16ton, iscussion igure. The amage moe of the frame when the rift angle on the roof reach ig.3 shows the comparison of the wooen panel walls uner in-plane loaing. The ultimate resistant loaing an the stiffness of the frame with wooen panel wall is much higher than that without wooen panel wall. The ultimate resistant loaing of the frame with wooen panel wall is 1.74 times of the pure frame. This result explains that the wooen panel wall is inee an important element to resist the seismic loaing an nees to be consiere in the seismic assessment of traitional wooen builing. Besies, as shown in ig.4, the store stiffness of the secon floor is higher than that of the first floor. At maximum loa, the store rift angle of secon floor is onl 83% of the first floor. This is because some seconar wooen beams an columns are arrange in the wooen wall of secon floor. The wall is ivie into four small parts(w1~w4), an for each part(w1~w4), the height/with ratio becomes smaller. This result also means that changing the construction of the wall, especiall reuce height/with ratio of the panel, can effectivel improve the stiffness of the traitional wooen frame. igure 3.

COCLUSIOS In this stu, the panel wall use to infill the wooen frame of traitional builing is moele as an equivalent compressive bracing, which is base upon the etail behavior of unit panel. The plastic hinge properties of the bracing are efine for nonlinear analsis, which is relate to the compressive amage of the wooen beam an the owel action of bamboo nails. The evelope bracing moel has been use in the seismic assessment of Yan-shuei Octagonal all in Tainan Cit. The analsis shows the panel walls will increase the structure stiffness an the ultimate resistant loa. In aition, the panel wall is helpful to avoi the frame totall collapse after the beam-column joints of the frame has suffere seriousl amage. This phenomena also has been observe ver often in the 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake. REERECES 1. Wang S.Y. (1993). Woo phsics (in Chinese). ational Institute of Compilation an Translation, Taipei,.
