The beam has two different size of 1.8 and 3.3 meter length. The </span><span style="margin: 0px; color: black; font-family: 'Garamond',serif;">seismic load-displacement seismic load-strain and </span><span style="margin: 0px; color: black; font-family: 'Garamond',serif;">strain-displacement </span><span style="margin: 0px; color: black; font-family: 'Garamond',serif;">have been calculated for all models and graphically depicted. The beam is designed with nonlinear analysis method and same mechanical properties for all models have been used, in numerical analysis. The numerical analysis results indicate that, the inertial interaction, energy dissipation and nonlinear deformation of beam in timber frame have direct relationship with frame span. In beam with smaller length, higher seismic loading is caused lower displacement. The displacement is reduced with reduction length of the beam. The inertial interaction, energy dissipation and nonlinear deformation are changed in respect to length of beam. The novelty of this paper is developing cycling graphs by using ABAQUS, for improve design of timber frame, and adequate explanation of seismic behavior of timber beam.</span></p> ER -
