Abstract

In this paper, a numerical model considering the embedment reaction of column foot by the beam-column finite element method was proposed for evaluating the restoring force characteristics of the rocking column in traditional timber structures. Wood compression tests in contact with stones were conducted to investigate the characteristics of the embedment reaction and initial deformation generated at the end of the wood, and these characteristics were considered in the column foot numerical model. The validity and applicability of the numerical model were verified by analyzing several static loading tests of the rocking column.
