| Abstract | The new edition of Chinese code for design of timber structures (GB50005), expected to be released in 2015, will permit light wood frame buildings (LWF) up to seven stories with (up to 3-storey wood frame structure on top of concrete, masonry or steel structures). This paper studied the seismic design of this type of hybrid structure. The seismic analysis of 12 various cases was conducted. Structural behaviour was investigated via the finite element software SAP2000. It was observed that the stiffness ratio of steel frame podium to the wood frames in most cases is less than 4, in which the base shear method can be used. In addition, suggestions to the design of steel and wood hybrid structures were proposed. |
