Performance-based earthquake engineering (PBEE) provides a robust alternative to traditional design. PBEE enables engineers estimate expected damage, repair costs, and economic losses due downtime for candidate design, potentially leading novel new designs or retrofit solutions. With the increasing application of light-frame structural systems, such as cold-formed steel (CFS) panels, in residen...

Light-frame timber shear walls have been used as load-bearing elements in buildings for several decades. To predict the performance of such structural under loading, numerous analytical and numerical models developed. However, little focus has on prediction plastic damage behaviour unloading walls. In this paper, a parametric Finite Element (FE) model is further developed by introducing elasto-...
