Effect of loading rate on damping and stiffness in nailed joints

Creator:

Cha, Jae Kyung

Abstract:

The conventional studies for nailed joints vary and no standard methods exist for evaluation of damping in wood joints. Wood buildings experience earthquake-caused oscillation of three or more Hz, but damping values used in design are based on static test. To evaluate damping at loading rates associated with earthquakes, cyclic-load...

Inelastic stiffness moduli for nail joints between wood studs and plywood sheathing

Creator:

Loferski, Joseph R.

Abstract:

Defining the inelastic behavior of nail joints is essential in the development of a rational design procedure of wood-stud walls. Prediction equations were developed for the inelastic behavior of joints commonly found in wood-stud walls. The equations relate three elastic moduli that define the average inelastic joint stiffness to the...
