Timber column seismic response design

The timber column seismic response has been analyzed when it has been subjected to near-fault ground motion. The cyclic displacement and cyclic strain have been investigated. It needs to indicate in most of the literature acceleration history of earthquake used in the numerical analysis is not well clear for the reader. The results showed that the damping ratio, strain energy, and nonlinear deformation were changed in respect to the frame geometry. The innovation of this paper is to develop cycling graphs by means ABAQUS for study timber column seismic response and improve the concept of strain energy in understanding displacement mechanism.
