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 material properties of the wall coverings, studs and nails. The equations were verified experimentally on joints between Douglas-fir studs and 3/8-inch plywood sheathing. Experiments also showed that the stiffness of machine pushed nail joints was less variable than that of their hammer driven mates, and that increased nail head size produced stiffer joints. Furthermore, joints tested at faster loading rates were stiffer than their mates tested at slower rates.
