Performance evaluation of wood frame structure with seismic control devices using visco-elastic damper based on pseudo-dynamic analysis

This paper describes performance evaluation of a wood frame structure with seismic control devices using a visco-elastic damper based on the pseudo-dynamic analysis. The frame model of the structure is constructed for the pseudo-dynamic vibration tests validated by the experimental results. The energy absorption performance of the frames is evaluated in related with the effect of temperature and location of the brace connection at column.
