Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU), NHERI 2022: Dynamic Modeling of a 10-Story Mass Timber Building Under Earthquake Excitation

This project is about finite element modeling of a simplified dynamic model using commercially available software (SAP2000) to accurately predict the seismic performance of a 10-story CLT rocking wall building. This modeling structure can be reused for future research on modeling techniques to create accuracy in this technique. This project is unique as there is few published literature on this topic that is available for design engineers. The audience for this project is researchers who are interested in modeling techniques of CLT rocking wall systems.

本项目采用商用软件（SAP2000）对简化动力学模型进行有限元建模（finite element modeling），以精准预测10层正交胶合木（Cross-Laminated Timber，CLT）摇摆墙建筑的抗震性能。该建模框架可复用于后续旨在提升该类建模技术精度的相关研究。本项目具备独特性：目前针对该主题、可供设计工程师参考的公开文献较为稀缺。本项目的目标受众为关注正交胶合木摇摆墙系统建模技术的科研人员。
