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...
