Effect of Thermal Bridge in Light-Frame Wood Wall
BioResources, 2022 The presence of thermal bridges in a wall increases local heat conduction of the building envelope, resulting in a decrease in the wall’s average thermal resistance. Simultaneously, the internal surface temperature of thermal bridge is lower than that of

Moister Transfer of Light Frame Wall in Field Test
Journal of the Korean Wood Science and Technology, 2010 The purpose of this study was finding out proper wall assembly to reduce moisture accumulation in light frame wall under outdoor air conditions. For the purpose, moisture transfer and accumulation in a wall were evaluated for five types of wall assembly; typical wall (T), addition of a vapor retarder (P1), addition of two vapor retarders (P2), addition

FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF THESEISMIC BEHAVIOROF THE ASSEMBLED LIGHT STEEL FRAME-LIGHT WALL STRUCTURES [PDF]
Civil Engineering Journal, 2019 In order to meet the needs of the development of low-rise assembly structure in rural areas, a fabricated light-weight steel frame-composite light wall structure is proposed in this paper. The light-weight steel frames are used to bear the vertical loads.

Light-Frame Wall Systems: Performance and Predictability.
, 1983 Abstract : Conventional analysis methods seriously underestimate the strength and stiffness of light-frame wall systems. To better predict the strength and stiffness of these systems, a finite element based computer program, FINWALL, has been developed at Oregon State University (OSU).
