Verification of an analytical hysteresis model for dowel-type timber connections using shake table tests

The purpose of this study was to verify the analytical results of a non-linear finite-element model for predicting the seismic response of ductile dowel type moment-resisting connections. The analytical model, FRAME, is based on each dowel modelled as an elasto-plastic beam in a non-linear medium...
