Single‐ and Double‐Sheathed Wood Shear Wall Study
Publication: Journal of Structural Engineering
Volume 114, Issue 6
Abstract
A mathematical model for the analysis of partially composite wood light‐frame shear walls loaded in plane is presented. Shear walls consisting of a stud frame with sheathing placed either on one side or both sides are investigated. Nonlinear behavior due to sheathing gaps is modeled. Nonlinear interlayer slip between the frame and sheathing is included by a developed step‐wise procedure. Experimental results are used to verify the mathematical model.
