Seismic Evaluation of Asymmetric Multi-Story Wood-Frame Buildings
Executive Summary
The aim of this research is to study the seismic response of typical residential multi-story wood
frame structure subjected to multi-directional ground motion. The torsional effect due to the open
front in the first story on the seismic response of a three-story structure with tuck-under parking
is of particular interest. Different finish materials such as interior gypsum board and exterior stucco
will be included in the study. Based on the results of the experimental investigation of the selected
structural configuration, different retrofit techniques (for the open front in the first story and for
the upper stories) will be implemented for seismic evaluation purposes.
During the construction of the three-story wood structure, the vibration characteristics of one- and
two-story structures will be determined from multi-directional dynamic loading. The selected building will
be tested on the multi-directional shaking table at The University of California at Berkeley. The research
presents task 1.1.2 of the CUREe-CALTECH Wood-frame Project.
