Strain Distribution in OSB and GWB in Wood-Frame Shear Walls
The overall goal of this study is 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. Sixteen standard 2,440 2,440 mm walls were tested monotonically, in total, out of which 11 Type A were sheathed on both sides OSB on one side and GWB on the other , while five walls were tested without GWB Type ...
متن کاملWood Frame Grammar: CAD scripting a wood frame house
This paper demonstrates a novel method to generate house designs completely from 3/4” plywood sheets. A shape grammar routine is employed to divide an initial solid shape into constructible components for fabrication by CNC wood routing. The paper demonstrates programmable functions that can be performed using CAD scripting. Future goals for the grammar are to develop CAD programs for digital f...
متن کاملEffects of Dead Load and Multiple Earthquake Loadings on Seismic Performance of Wood-Frame Shear Walls
Goals of this preliminary study are to better understand (1) earthquake performance of wood-frame shear walls carrying gravity loads, compared with walls without gravity load, and (2) performance of walls subjected to a sequence of earthquake motions, compared with walls subjected to a single earthquake. Tests with simulated earthquake ground motions were conducted on 2,440 by 2,440-mm (8 by 8-...
متن کاملSeismic Performance Testing of Partially and Fully Anchored Wood-frame Shear Walls
Earthquake performance of wood-frame shear walls was evaluated by comparing fully and partially anchored walls under monotonic, cyclic, and earthquake loads and comparing with code measures. Suitability of monotonic and cyclic testing to predict seismic performance was examined. Earthquake tests were conducted on 2440-mm-square walls with Douglas-fir studs. Two oriented strandboard panels were ...
متن کاملMoisture Relations and Physical Properties of Wood
4–1 Wood, like many natural materials, is hygroscopic; it takes on moisture from the surrounding environment. Moisture exchange between wood and air depends on the relative humidity and temperature of the air and the current amount of water in the wood. This moisture relationship has an important influence on wood properties and performance. Many of the challenges of using wood as an engineerin...
