Dynamic behavior of metal-plate-connected wood truss joints

Creator:: Kent, Scott M.
Abstract:: The objectives of this research were to evaluate the behavior of actual metal-plate-connected (MPC) tension-splice and heel wood truss joints under seismic loads from the Northridge earthquake (tension-splice joints only) and under loads from a large artificial earthquake (1.0 g's and 0.67 g's maximum horizontal and vertical accelerations, respectively). A...

Small-scale modeling of metal-plate-connected wood truss joints

Creator:: Kittel, Mark
Abstract:: The objective of this research was to develop a one-third scale model of full-size (prototype) metal-plate-connected (MPC) wood truss joints using similitude theory. The prototype metal connector plates in MPC joints were modeled using thin galvanized sheet metal and short staples. Truss grade wood material was ripped to one-third scale...

Short-term duration of load and cyclic performance of metal-plate-connected truss joints

Creator:: Freilinger, Shawn M. Wicks
Abstract:: The objective of this research was to evaluate the duration of load factor for metal-plate-connected (MPC) truss joints subjected to various cyclic loading conditions. Heel and tension-splice joints from a standard 30-foot span Fink truss constructed from nominal 2x4 Douglas-fir lumber were tested. A testing frame similar to that developed...

System behavior of three-dimensional wood truss assemblies

Creator:: Limkatanyoo, Pranueng
Abstract:: The objective of this research is to use a three-dimensional (3D) analysis method to include 'system effects' directly in the design of light-frame roof truss assemblies. The goal of this study is to develop an improved and practical method to determine the structural performance of 3D roof truss assemblies used...

A practical approach to model the behavior of a metal-plate-connected wood truss system

Creator:: Li, Zhong
Abstract:: Metal-plate-connected (MPC) trusses have traditionally been designed based on a tributary load distribution and a simplified truss model. This design method ignores the load-sharing and composite action in MPC roof truss systems, the semi-rigidity of MPC joints, and joint eccentricity. The main objective of this study was to provide a...

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...

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...

Slotted-bolted friction damper as a seismic energy dissipator in a braced timber frame

Creator:: Tjahyadi, Alfred
Abstract:: Friction dampers have been used successfully to dissipate seismic energy in steel and concrete structures. The application is new to timber structures. The objectives of this research were to design a slotted bolted connection (SBC) and evaluate its potential as a passive energy damper in timber brace. The research was...

Evaluation of system effects and structural load paths in a wood-framed structure

Creator:: Martin, Kenneth G.
Abstract:: The objective of this project was to develop an analytical model of a light-framed wood structure using a prevalent structural analysis computer program in order to evaluate system effects and define load paths within the structure, especially under extreme wind events. Simplified modeling techniques and material definitions were developed and...

Behavior of Cross-Laminated Timber Diaphragm Panel-to-Panel Connections with Self-Tapping Screws

Creator:: Sullivan, Kyle
Abstract:: The goal of this project is to contribute to the development of design values for cross-laminated timber (CLT) diaphragms in the seismic load-resisting system for buildings. Monotonic and cyclic tests to determine strength and stiffness characteristics of 2.44 m (8 ft) long shear connections with common self-tapping screws were performed....
