Seismic performance of post-and-beam wood buildings

This thesis presents a study to evaluate the seismic performance of post-and-beam (P&B) wood assemblies and buildings of Japanese style using computer modeling, experimental studies and probabilistic-based approaches. A numerical model called “PB3D” is proposed to predict the lateral response of...
