  • Practical modeling for load paths in a realistic, light-frame wood house

    Creator:
    Pfretzschner, Kathryn S.
    Abstract:
    The objective of this study was to develop and validate practical modeling methods for investigating load paths and system behavior in a realistic, light-frame wood structure. The modeling methods were validated against full-scale tests on subassemblies and an L-shaped house. The model of the L-shaped house was then modified and...

  • Light-frame versus timber frame : a study in quantifying the differences

    Creator:
    Malone, Brian P.
    Abstract:
    The objective of this study was to compare light wood framing and traditional timber framing quantitatively through environmental impact assessment and load path analysis. This research was inspired by a traditional timber frame structure constructed in Vermont in 2011, and the design of structures considered within reflect the general characteristics...
