The structure skeleton model is as shown in Figure 7.1.
 
The structure analysis software of the project will adopt the building structure design software SAP2000 provided by CSI Company of the United States to construct the girder-column wood structure skeleton model. By imposing vertical load, wind load and earthquake load to the overall structure, the simulation and calculation will be carried out over the overall structure under ten different working condition combinations to analyze the stress-carrying and deformation of the building under different working condition combinations (the specific load working condition combinations shall refer to 7.1).
The analysis model of SAP2000 is as shown in Figure 7.2.

7.1 Load working condition combination
The analysis will be carried out in accordance with the Load Code for Building Structures GB50009-2012, the Wood Structure Design Specifications GB50005-2003, and the load working conditions probably taking place in the design and the combination will be divided into three kinds of limit state:
1. The limit state of the bearing capacity under the normal circumstance (basic combination CBJ);
2. The limit state of the normal use under the normal circumstance (characteristic combination CBB);
3. The limit state under the circumstance of earthquake (accidental combination CBO).
To select the combination for calculation, the design and analysis shall be carried out for each most unfavorable combination.

7.2 Component analysis
7.2.1 Checking calculation over the maximum axial tension (P_t) and bearing capacity of the component
By comparing the maximum axial force and its bearing capacity of the component under the each working condition combination, the maximum axial force worked out by the overall model SAP2000 is as shown in Table 7.6.
Table 7.6 Table for the maximum axial tensile under different working condition combinations

Based on the above table, it can be known that the maximum tensile strength parallel to grain of the component is 4.341 MPa, which takes place on the working condition combination with the participation of earthquake in CBO 4, namely in the direction of Y. The tensile strength parallel to grain of the dimension lumber of Cryptomeria fortune is 13.5 MPa while that of the dimension lumber of Douglas fir is 17.7MPa: in the above-mentioned ten working condition combinations, the maximum axial force for each component is less than the bearing capacity limit values stipulated by the specification and the design manual; therefore, the components adopted by the project have enough safety reserve to withstand the load actions from the outside and their own.
 
7.2.2 Checking calculation over the maximum axial pressure (P_c) and bearing capacity of the component
By comparing the maximum axial force and its bearing capacity of the component under the each working condition combination, the maximum axial force worked out by the overall model SAP2000 is as shown in Table 7.7.

Based on the above table, it can be known that the maximum compressive strength parallel to grain of the component is 7. 031MPa, which takes place on the working condition combination with the participation of earthquake in CBO 4, namely in the direction of Y. The compressive strength of the dimension lumber of Cryptomeria fortune is 17.7 MPa while that of the dimension lumber of Douglas fir is 22.2 MPa: in the above-mentioned ten working condition combinations, the maximum axial force for each component is less than the bearing capacity limit values stipulated by the specification and the design manual; therefore, the components adopted by the project have enough safety reserve to withstand the load actions from the outside and their own.
7.2.2 Interlayer displacement angle
The maximum interlayer displacement under different working conditions is as shown in Table 7.9.

Table 7.9 The maximum interlayer displacement under different working conditions

There is no regulation in our nation’s Earthquake Resistant Design Code GB 50011-2001, the new version of Earthquake Resistant Design Code GB50011-2010 and the Wood Structure Design Specifications GB 50005-2003 over the interlayer displacement angle of the wood structure building. In the Earthquake Simulation Shaking Table Test over the Full-Scale House Model with Two-Storey Light Wood Structure, the scholars of Tongji University draw the test result and conclusion that “in the earthquake of 0.2g, the maximum interlayer displacement angle of the building with a symmetrical layout structure is 1/250”. From the Table 7.9, it can be known that the interlayer displacement of structure under the working condition combination with the participation of earthquake in CBO 3, namely in the direction of X, will be maximized, the value of which is 11.24mm so that, the interlayer displacement angle of the project structure will be: u/1=11.24/6000≈1/534<1/250. Therefore, the structure can meet the requirement over the interlayer displacement angle limit stipulated by the test result in the references.
 
8 Analysis and summary
By adopting the SAP2000 software, this project has managed to carry out modeling over the girder-column wood structure, as well as to simulate and analyze the strength and stability of the structure under ten working condition combinations. The internal force analysis and deformation result under different working condition combinations have indicated that the compressive strength parallel to grain and the tensile strength parallel to grain of the components adopted for the girder-column wood structure building by the project are all less than the bearing capacity limit values stipulated by the specification and the design manual; meanwhile, the maximum interlayer displacement of the overall structure is less than the interlayer displacement limit under the earthquake of 0.2g.
Therefore, with reasonable layout, appropriate rigidity and large safety reserve, the overall structure of this project can meet the requirements of the corresponding specification s and standards.
