The performance of wood frame shear walls under earthquake loads

Creator:

White, Kevin Bradish DelGrande

Abstract:

The overall goal of this study is to evaluate the earthquake performance of wood frame shear walls, and more specifically: (1) to compare the performance differences of fully and partially anchored walls under monotonic, cyclic, and earthquake loads, (2) to compare wall performance under earthquake loads with that of standardized...

Masters Thesis
The effects of nail bending-yield stress and biological deterioration on the cyclic performance of shearwalls

Creator:

Anderson, Erin N.

Abstract:

Key parts of the lateral force resisting system in wood-frame buildings are the shearwafls and the connections. The connections in wooden buildings are the primary source of ductility and energy dissipation; these are essential properties when buildings are exposed to lateral forces, such as wind and earthquakes. Shearwall design is...

Masters Thesis
The effect of hold-down misplacement on the strength and stiffness of wood shear walls

Creator:

Lebeda, Dana J.

Abstract:

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of misplaced hold-downs on the static and cyclic behavior of wood shear walls. Three shear wall configurations were considered in this study. The first configuration (control) had hold-downs at the ends of the wall (wall type 1), the second configuration...

Masters Thesis
Strain distribution in OSB and GWB in wood frame shear walls

Creator:

Sinha, Arijit

Abstract:

The overall goal of this study was to gain an insight into the load sharing aspect between oriented strand board (OSB) and gypsum wall board (GWB) in shear wall assembly during racking load. More specifically the objectives of the study were to: (1) evaluate qualitatively the load sharing between OSB...

Masters Thesis
Performance of wood frame wall with thin shell ECC shear panel

Creator:

Lewis, Michael C.

Abstract:

The overall goal of this study was to evaluate an alternative to traditional wood framed shear wall construction. This study introduced the innovative idea of using a water and seismic damage resistant, wood-concrete- composite (WCC) construction instead of an all-wood design. The WCC design consisted of a thin shell of...

Masters Thesis
Performance of partially and fully anchored wood frame shear walls under monotonic, cyclic and earthquake loads

Creator:

Seaders, Peter

Abstract:

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the performance of wood frame shear walls under monotonic, cyclic and earthquake loads by: (1) estimating the variability of shear wall performance, (2) comparing the performance of walls under each loading protocol, (3) evaluating the effects of anchorage on wall performance, and...

Masters Thesis
Optimizing the performance of gypsum wall board in wood frame shear walls

Creator:

Goodall, Scott I.

Abstract:

The overall goal of this project was to design a wood frame shear wall that could withstand greater displacement before damage occurred to the Gypsum Wall Board (GWB). More specifically, the objectives of the study were: (1) to evaluate damage to the GWB in alternative shear wall designs at 1%,...

Masters Thesis
Lateral force resisting pathways in log structures

Creator:

Scott, Randy J.

Abstract:

In recent years, log structures have been marketed as an alternative to conventional light-frame wood structures. Log structures are constructed using round timbers (or manufactured timbers) that are stacked vertically and have interlocking corners. Thru-rods and lag screws are used to provide inter-log connections. This project was conducted to evaluate...
