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 performance of wood frame shear walls under earthquake loads

Creator:

White, Kevin Bradish DelGrande

Abstract:

The overall goal of this study is to evaluate the earthquake performance of wood frame shear walls, and more specifically: (1) to compare the performance differences of fully and partially anchored walls under monotonic, cyclic, and earthquake loads, (2) to compare wall performance under earthquake loads with that of standardized...
