  • Load sharing and system factors for light-frame wall systems

    Creator:
    Yu, Guangren
    Abstract:
    A considerable amount of research has focused on load-sharing and system effects in repetitive-member wood floor systems subject to transverse loading. However, relatively few studies have been conducted to investigate load-sharing and system effects in repetitive-member wall systems which may be subject to combined transverse and gravity (vertical) loading, and...

  • 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...
