Development of Nailed Wood Joint Element in ABAQUS
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Testing showed that the hysteretic behavior of nailed wood joints governs the response of many wood systems when subjected to lateral loadings. Unfortunately, commercially available software does not have the appropriate ...
Development of a Wood-Frame Shear Wall Model in ABAQUS
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: After modifications, the Bouc-Wen-Barber-Wen (BWBN) model was used in simulating the hysteretic behavior of wood light-frame shear walls. A complete shear wall model is composed of boundary framing members and two-diagonal ...
Nonlinear Shear-Wall Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A finite-element program, WALSEIZ, capable of performing nonlinear analysis of a timber shear wall subjected to monotonic or dynamic loads is presented. Each wall is composed of four elements: a beam element to model the ...
Discussion and Closure: Nonlinear Shear-Wall Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Monotonic and Reverse-Cyclic Loading of Lag Screw Connections for Log Shear Wall Construction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The log building industry favors simple to install mechanical connections between log layers, also referred to as log courses, to facilitate fast and efficient construction. In active seismic regions, lag screws are commonly ...
Effect of Hold-Down Misplacement on Strength and Stiffness of Wood Shear Walls
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The objective of this study was to determine the effect of misplaced hold-downs on the monotonic and cyclic behavior of wood shear walls. Three shear wall configurations were considered: (1) walls with hold-downs at the ...
Seismic Response of Post-Tensioned Cross-Laminated Timber Rocking Wall Buildings
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Nonlinear time history analyses were conducted for 5-story and 12-story prototype buildings that used post-tensioned cross-laminated timber rocking walls coupled with U-shaped flexural plates (UFPs) as the lateral force ...
Performance of Log Shear Walls Subjected to Monotonic and Reverse-Cyclic Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Low-rise buildings are typically designed with shear walls and horizontal diaphragms to resist lateral load during windstorms and earthquakes. Although seismic performance and lateral load resistance behavior are generally ...
Comparison of Static and Dynamic Response of Timber Shear Walls
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Analytical and Experimental Lateral-Load Response of Self-Centering Posttensioned CLT Walls
