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.

Numerical assessment of lateral deflection equation of single-storey light-frame wood shear walls

Canadian Journal of Civil Engineering, 2021
Based on the decomposition of the deflection into bending, panel shear, nail slip, and base rotation terms, the nonlinear four-term equation specified by the Canadian wood design code provides an estimate of the total lateral deflection of light-frame wood shear walls.

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 ...

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.

Multicriteria decision analysis applied to the design of light-frame wood wall assemblies

Journal of Building Performance Simulation, 2010
Designers of light-frame wood wall assemblies should consider several performance criteria simultaneously in addition to minimum requirements set by building codes. Evaluation of various performance characteristics can help select the most suitable configuration for a given project in a given context.

Dynamically loaded light-frame wood stud walls: experimental verification of an analytical model

Materials and Structures, 2009
Light-frame wood structures may deform well beyond the elastic limit when loaded by dynamic forces such as earthquakes and sea wave impacts. This paper reports the results of an investigation into the response effects of structural modeling assumptions typically made in the design of light-frame wood structures.
