Reinforcing effect of hardwoods on the moment resistance performance of traditional Japanese “nuki”-column joints

Abstract In traditional Japanese timber structures, nuki-column joints are used as seismic elements. However, the elastic stiffness of their moment resistance performance is rather small. In this research, hardwoods were used for nuki in three ways to improve the performance of the joints. Moment re...
