Abstract Sheathed timber frame shear walls (STFSW) with strong anchorage have recently been studied to be used as the main lateral force resisting system in buildings. The first part of this research project highlighted enhancement stiffness and strength STFSWs comparison established configuration light-frame under monotonic horizontal loading. In paper, in-plane seismic behavior was further in...

Abstract Earthquakes are one of the most extinctive natural unpredictable disaster. The major reason earthquakes movement Tectonic plates and excitation in earth’s crust. It is observed that many conventional buildings have constructed without considering seismic provisions given by Indian standard codes to escape disastrous effect which results into collapse disintegration buildings. Therefore...
