Analysis of fully anchored light-frame timber shear walls—elastic model

Materials and Structures, 2009
In order to stabilize light-framed timber buildings against lateral loads, the diaphragm action of roofs, floors and walls is often used. This paper deals with an elastic analysis model for fully anchored sheathed wood frame shear walls. The model is based on the assumption of a linear elastic load-slip relation for the sheathing-to-framing joints ...

Incorporating Load Sharing in Shear Wall Design of Light‐Frame Structures

Journal of Structural Engineering, 1992
A three‐dimensional nonlinear finite element model of a light‐frame wood building was created and used to determine internal forces caused by wind pressure in shear walls. Comparing the results with current design procedures led to two fundamental observations: (1) The assumption of current procedures that one‐half of the load is transferred directly ...

Structural characteristics of light-frame wood shear walls with various construction detailing

Engineering Structures, 2020
Abstract A total of 26 full-scale walls were investigated with the aim to study the effects of construction details variation on the behavior of the shear walls. The deflected shape of the end studs was found to be non-linear with regard to loading level. The bending component seems affected by the rotation of the sheathing panels and nail slip.

Collapse Testing and Analysis of a Light-Frame Wood Garage Wall

Journal of Structural Engineering, 2012
AbstractLight-frame wood (woodframe) buildings have been tested at full-scale sparingly around the world, primarily due to the cost associated with such testing and a general lack of facilities large enough to test at system level. The data from the tests that have been performed are used to help develop nonlinear time history analysis models that can ...

Overstrength values for light frame timber wall elements based on reliability methods

Engineering Structures, 2019
Abstract To ensure ductile behavior of light frame timber wall elements in the context of capacity design it is indispensable to design non-ductile parts and connections with considerable overstrength. The determination of overstrength values based on reliability methods enables to address different target failure probabilities.

Retrofit Options for Light-Frame Wood Stud Walls Subjected to Blast Loading

Journal of Structural Engineering, 2014
AbstractThis paper presents the results of an experimental program, where a total of eight retrofitted walls were subjected to blast loading, simulated by shock waves using the University of Ottawa’s shock tube. Four different external retrofit options were considered and their behavior in terms of failure mode, stiffness, and strength were documented.

Control of Moisture Migration in Light Frame Walls

1982
There is a serious need for better control of moisture in wall constructions. A number of currently used moisture control systems were evaluated under controlled laboratory conditions. Results indicated that systems of moisture barriers which were continuous by design or method of installation, or systems which allowed free passage to the exterior ...

Plastic models for analysis of fully anchored light-frame timber shear walls

Engineering Structures, 2009
In order to stabilise timber-framed buildings against lateral loads, the diaphragm action of roofs, floors and walls is often used. This paper deals with plastic analysis models for fully anchored sheathed shear walls. The models are based on the assumption of plastic load-slip relations for the sheathing-to-framing joints.

Structural behaviour of light-frame timber shear-walls with diagonal board sheathing

Construction and Building Materials
As an alternative to wooden panels, diagonal boards sheathings can be used to provide adequate lateral stability of light-frame timber (LFT) shear-walls. Much more common in the past than the present, LFT shear-walls with diagonal boards (LFT-DB) have undergone a significant revival of use and interest, especially in Europe, due to an increasing ...
