Abstract
The restoring force characteristics of embedment of wood are fundamental and very important to evaluate the seismic performances of traditional timber structures. In order to evaluate them effectively, elasto-plastic embedded displacements due to equally loaded rigid plate are formulated by applying Pasternak model to wood members with a finite length, taking the strain hardening and the orthotropic properties into account. In the formulation, the stiffness function is introduced to express the embedment stiffness simply in both elastic and plastic states. Then the formulations are discussed with embedment test results.
