Overstrength values for light frame timber wall elements based on reliability methods
Engineering Structures, 2019Abstract 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.

Seismic performance of timber light-frame shear walls
2021Timber light-frame shear walls are a widespread structural system employed within platform framing buildings. Therefore, the analysis of the seismic performance of these structures deserves proper attention. In this regard, the limited inertia forces ensured by the high strength-to-density ratio of the timber and the energy dissipation ensured by ...

Racking Strength of Light-Frame Nailed Walls
Journal of the Structural Division, 1978Horizontal forces, such as wind, are resisted by the walls parallel to the wind direction. These forces, which lie in the plane of the wall, are known as the shear or racking loads, and are transmitted to the sheathing through the fastener system. Qualification of sheathing materials has generally been limited to performance testing of 8-ft by 8-ft (2 ...

Light‐Frame Shear Wall Length and Opening Effects
Journal of Structural Engineering, 1985Standard methods of testing the racking capacity of light‐frame walls are inefficient and may give erroneous estimates of shear wall performance. This study is concerned with improving the data base for racking resistance of light frame walls with plywood and gypsum sheathings.

Collapse Testing and Analysis of a Light-Frame Wood Garage Wall
Journal of Structural Engineering, 2012AbstractLight-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 ...

A SIMPLIFIED ANALYTICAL PROCEDURE FOR SEISMIC ANALYSIS OF TIMBER LIGHT-FRAME SHEAR WALLS
NED University Journal of Research, 2019The seismic performance of timber light-frame shear walls is investigated in this paper with a focus on energy dissipation and ductility ensured by sheathing-to-framing connections. An original parametric finite element model has been developed in order to perform sensitivity analyses. The model considers the design variables affecting the racking load-

Nonlinear Finite‐Element Model for Light‐Frame Stud Walls
Journal of Structural Engineering, 1992Considerable attention has been given to the performance and modeling of wood‐frame stud walls in the past two decades, and linear and nonlinear models were presented. Linear models do not truly describe the wall behavior. They either underestimate or overestimate the wall stiffness, depending upon load applied.
