  1. 16. Numerical and experimental study of light-frame shear walls

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Rajan Maharjan; Mohamad El Rachid; [2019]
    Keywords : wood; shear wall; FEM analysis; ABAQUS; experiment; stiffness; racking deformation;

    Abstract : In recent time, some of the construction processes of multi-storey timber buildings are achieved by using prefabricated volume modules since this method is very beneficial due to its high prefabrication level and the fast on-site assembly of the modules. The main structural component of these modules is a light-frame shear wall that stabilizes these modules from the effect of horizontal forces. READ MORE
