註釋"The research presented in this report focuses on the development of a numerical framework, suitable for nonlinear inelastic, static and dynamic two-dimensional analysis of light-frame wood structures. The framework was validated by simulation examples based on existing experimental results and shake table tests carried out as part of this study as well as other experimental investigations available in the literature. The purpose of the shake table tests was: (1) to benchmark the dynamic characteristics and the seismic performance of a low-rise wood structure with realistic dimensions under various base input intensities, representative of both ordinary and near-field ground motions in southern California, and (2) to investigate the effect of nonstructural components on the seismic response of the test structure. These examples demonstrated the capability of the model to simulate load paths in the structure and predict variations in strength, stiffness and energy dissipation properties of the lateral-load-resisting system. The analysis illustrates that the proposed framework can provide reliable response predictions for structural systems incorporating different geometric configurations, anchorage conditions and gravity loading"--Page iv.
